Can someone explain to me why the Bobcats have such a bad record. IMO with the talent they have they should be somewhere from 3-5 in the East.
Ray Felt
J-Rich
G-Wall
Okafor
Nazr?
That's probably one of the best starting lineups in the East, yet their losing so much and haven't really had any health issues, with the exception of Gerald Wallace now.
I'm not trolling or bashing the Cats. I like the Bobcats and was wondering what is wrong?

Bad coaching plus bad PG play, for a team that is young and has relied on leadership from those two positions in the past = bad record.
The two positions on our team that have the most effect on everyone else, are either at best doing nothing to help the team, and at worst, hurting the team.
Add in a hopefully high lottery pick, plus a couple of our previous lottery picks coming back from injury next season, on top of upgrading our coaching and PG positions, and I think we'll be in a position to surprise next year. We're not as bad as our record indicates, it's just that those two spots are really bringing down what otherwise would be a decently-talented team.

Wow I almost forgot about Ammo and May. I like May a lot and think he will be a great PF next to Meka. As for Ammo, I was disappointed last season, but hopefully he'll be back.
You're right this team looks like it's set for next season. What kind of player are the Cats looking to draft?

It should definitely be a point guard or a power forward.
There is one other problem on the 'Cats, and that's a miserable bench, among the worst in the league.

Add a healthy McMay and Ammo and give Dude and Davidson a year or so and we'll be deep.

No defense. Horrible coaching. Lack of depth. Bad point guard play. Terrible free throw shooting. Inconsistent Okafor.
