man o man. i just finished watching the replay on dvr... its a good think i found out we lost before i started watching. i would have been crushed watching that only to lose like that. im sorry for all those who went through that live.

but lots of stuff to really like about this game
- diaw, minus the rotten garbage stretch in the 3rd, looks absolutely fantastic so far this season. i love him in the role of facilitator and the primary pick man.
- dj is playing like he did when silas first took over. kemba still has a long way to go to catch him.
- biz with some really solid minutes. that two handed block is wonderful. once the game slows down for him, look out.
- mullins can really shoot, even with guys all up in his business.
- hendo appears to raised his game a notch, as we all hoped.

maggette, wow, not good. although, to his credit, i though he did a decent job on lebron in the 1st. but lebron was just hitting some tough tough shots.

ups took 4 shots and had all of them blocked. is that some kind of record? not even okafor could accomplish such a feat.

and hats off to the heat, they looked like champions in that 2nd half. their defense its ridiculous when they really get motivated.

Just random thought: It puzzles me that we had the largest crowd in TWC tonight and we didn't had it during our first playoff appearance.

Wonder if that has anything to do with Miami coming to town.

More like LeBron. LeBron has always been a hot ticket in Charlotte. It amplifies that once you add in the Big Three and everything.

Have to hand it to the Bobcats. Without a star on the roster, Charlotte took it to the star-studded Heat and gave them everything they had in front of the largest crowd in franchise history. Gerald Henderson, Walker and Bismack Biyombo may not rival the Heat's Big Three anytime soon, but that's a promising core.


That's from ESPN. People are starting to talk about what we got going here in Charlotte, love it! Gotta keep it going and that talk will gain traction in attracting talent!

I hate ESPN so much. I remember months ago how they wrote off our young care as a bunch of roleplayers and without much worth. I'm sure they are going to write the same again when we start going on a loosing streak and recommend us to trade everyone and everything while we can

Yeah I thought the same thing. Perhaps it's largest regular season crowd? Not sure. Either way though it says a lot about the style of basketball were playing now. I mean the Heat and there stars have come to town before and we have not had a full house. It's great that our first two games we had awesome crowds and in both games we gave them a whale of a game to enjoy and want to come back for more.

Even with that said they didn't consider any of the bobcat plays top ten worthy. Even DJ's three to end the half didn't make the top ten. ESPN bites hard!

#Bobcats TV rating for Heat game (3.29) by far the highest since Fox acquired rights. That's 38,361 households tuned in.

Great news.

It's funny they're tuning in now that we're in tank mode.
