What a good, and moderately surprising, win. Maybe we will soon be ABOVE .500 for the first time... ever?

It's SO important that we hit our FT's. It usually makes such a difference to the outcome.

That was a great win! I did not expect a victory over Denver. The guys played a great game!

Maybe Bill Simmons prediction of Felton will come through.

The guy I'd pursue this summer if I ran an NBA team. Ten weeks of trade rumors bounced off him and he never held a grudge. He has lottery pick pedigree (fifth overall in 2005), and if we've learned anything over the years, it's that many blue-chip point guards take awhile to "ferment" (for lack of a better word). He's one of the five or six best people in the league by all accounts. I've never seen a Bobcats game where he didn't play as hard as he could. The arc of his first four years looks exactly like Chauncey Billups, and like Chauncey, his game will open up once he starts making 3s. Just a lot to like. Someone will steal him this summer just like Detroit stole Billups in 2002. You watch.

Great game. The bipolar continues with this team.

Loved the controlled play by Felt's.

Just got back from the game and even though everyone has been saying it I gotta give the guy credit. Felton is rounding back into the form he was in near the 2nd half of last year and tonight he was about as perfect as he can be.

i might have to take back everything i ever said about felton. last 2 weeks he has been exactly what we need. i think having jax around is really helping him. for the first time in his career he has a guard next to him that can create and iso etc... remember back in the day, we used to always talk about how ray would be so much better playing next to a sg who could take some of the pressure off his playmaking, someone like kobe, wade, roy etc... well, jax isnt kobe, wade or roy, but he's by far the best we've ever had in that regard.

great defense tonight.

we won in spite of chandler and dj who were both bad. well, dj was just timid, chandler was awful, just awful. thank god for nazr tonight.

wallace just wants it more than anyone on the floor most nights.

random diop thought...

at the game on saturday i was looking thru the program and they had the career highs of each bobcat listed. most players who have been in the league for a few years have had at least one game where they got hot and put up 20, even scrubs. diop has been in the league like 7 years and his career high is 10 points. 10 **** points. thats insane. guy has been in the league 7 years and never hit 11. how did he get that contract? you'd think he'd have one game where he had 6 dunks on put backs or something. 10 points. thats insane.

Fats... I did not believe you. I had to go to basketball-reference.com and check for myself.

That's pretty sad. Almost as sad... he has 12 games in his career where he registered 30 minutes.

I hope everyone has voted for Crash to make the Allstar team. He surely deserves it.

I did. Not on daily bases though. He only has a chance to be coaches' choice anyway.

It felt great to get at least one GT in this season.

Thanks for the backing guys

Agreed... Crash's competition for votes at F is LeBron, KG, and Bosh. Not happening.

Thats why we need to vote early and often... Kg really hasn't been an all-star so far this season stats wise anyways.

^^ Average NBA fan doesn't care. Even if he would have he would switch to Pierce.
