4 and 2 is a fantastic effort from these guys, especially considering there were 4 games in 5 nights to kick the road trip off.

I thought our defense really made the difference. I actually think we play better D now than we did under that other coach who banged on about playing D. We defend the three point shot better, we swtich a hell of a lot better and we clogg up the middle not allowing as many easy baskets in the paint a lot better.

All in all, it was a great road trip.

That's because Larry Brown insists there are no 3 point shots. He's still convinced we've won nearly every game.

The Bobcats played six games in four states in nine days.

When you factor in that stupid schedule, the flights and the limited amount of recovery time it's amazing the boys went 4-2 IMO.

Nice work fellas.
