Didn’t he say the same thing when he was traded by the Pacers to the Warriors? This is just the honeymoon phase…wait after a couple of years when Bobcats start stinking up the joint again and they start throwing plates at each other.

things turned out pretty good for him and the cats, cause if they weren’t winning, he would ask for another trade for sure.
I haven’t seen bobcats play recently, but aren’t wallace and jackson both small forwards? Info anyone?

“Other than the Thunder, the Bobcats have been the league’s most surprising team. ”

Swap out “Thunder” for “Rockets” and this may make sense…didn’t most people know OKC was on the come up before the season even started? Three consecutive years of solid lottery picks will do that.

So happy for Cap’n Jack. Not really sure why more people didn’t see him as a perfect fit in Charlotte. He’s a 20 point threat on any night on a team that was about 20 points a night away from being great.

Now if they could only get a truly great big man they could really make some noise in the playoffs, put someone like Chris Bosh or Amare on this team and they could make a serious run for Eastern Conference Champs and maybe even a title. Lets not forget how Gerald Wallace beasted Lebron Earlier this year. Although I do agree with Control that Crash is always one hard dunk away from that kinda injury that will devastate his game.

Go Cats! Just hope they don’t get matched up against my Celtics in the first round:P

They can grab the 5th seed, where there competition is Miami and Toronto, but I don’t think they will. They lack depth, which will knock them down a couple nothches in the long run.

When did Stephen Jackson get new teeth?

I think many of us have no insight into the current Larry Brown. We’re still in the mindset of when he was with Iverson in Philly and then in Detroit.

LB looks to be working with his players more and boosting their confidence. I’m very impressed with the Cats since this trade, but good lord they need to get more out of their draft picks.

i agree with gerald -check out kevin pelton’s take on the bobcats at basketballprospectus.com. bobcats are very good with stephen jackson, and even better when tyson chandler doesn’t play, ie, when they play mohammed/diop a total of 35 minutes a game, and go small for the rest – wallace is getting it done against other teams bigs, felton and murray are good enough at the guard spots, and larry brown is still a decent coach. i am guessing they fight miami for the 5th seed.

This is Gerald

The Bobcats have a pretty brutal six-game Western road trip coming up including Denver, Lakers and Portland. Its going to good test for the Cats. Can they finish in the top 5? I don’t think they can, but I envision them getting the 7th or 8th seed. Especially if Chandler can come back from injury and be better than he’s been so far.
