We pretty much have to win 8 out of the last 11 to have a shot. 9 out of the last 11 to be in great shape. All 11 to be where we need to be.

Philly is in 5th, 4 games behind Atlanta for the 4th and getting to host the 4-5 matchup. They will be coming out for blood and they see Charlotte as swooning. I dont get a good feeling going into this game. I think we are gassed and the last of the season wont be pretty. I hope I'm wrong, but I dont see us winning tonight.

I see us finishing a disappointing 35-47 based on our play as of late. The good news being we were 8-20 before the trade so we played .500 ball and our simulated record is 41-41, which is a giant step.

I hope im wrong...I'd love the Bobcats to pull an amazing 8 in a row and end up in the playoffs. But we had a long layoff to correct our mistakes in the Indy game...and we layed an egg again against probably the least talented team the NBA has seen since the 04 Bobcats in the Wizards without all those players.


Allright, time for the lucky Bobcats Token. Its time to create a little magic. The Bobcats WILL make the playoffs.

That's what I'm taking out of the season too. If we can get off to a good start next season and not flop out of the gate, the sky will be the limit.

Thad Young has been on a tear of late. Me thinks that Boris will have his hands VERY full tonight.

Are the Sixers the most overachieving team in the league? Kudos to them for being over .500 but their roster isn't that impressive. At least its no more impressive than ours.

Miller has been playing out of his mind and really making that team tick. Who would have thunk it being a contract year and all!??!?!

Brand going down was the best thing that could have happened to them because they were horrible with him in the team.

Its still possible guys don't give up. This is gonna be a good experience for our players since our next 7 games are gonna be highly competitive and close together. Who knows? Maybe we get over our slump and go berserk on these teams winning most of them.

I'm still debating whether or not I'll even attempt to watch this one.

I'm in the same boat.

Option #1 = Stay home and watch our game and risk either being very happy or very mad

Option #2 = Go to a mates place where about 20 other Aussies will be, smash beers and watch the footy beamed back from Oz, record the Bobcats game and risk not wanting to watch it later because we get blown out.

I am hopeful of this too. With the horrible start we were so far back and with the nature of the NBA there are going to be peaks and valleys to every season. Very difficult to be hot for as long as we were required.

I assume this team is only going to improve. Next season, with a fresh start, is going to be very interesting.

^I just wonder where we would be right now if Crash hadn't gotten hurt in LA and missed that time?

Might I add: I spent a couple of days in Philly back in 2002. What a heck of a town. Had a really, really great time there. Good people, pretty town, great beer.

I have also had a good time in Philly before. Rich told me I was crazy when I last mentioned that, though.
