Discuss any thoughts, opinions and what not. Will the Bobcats be like the Nets and Pistons or will they give the Cavs some competition for the top pick?

When the Cavs are actually the favorites you know the opposing team is awful. A healthy Nets team is better than the Cavs and the Pistons are probably a wash, but the Bobcats are legitimately worse.

We win this one with another solid performance from Kyrie and Ramon at PG. Looking forward to see more of TT and I hope he can get 20+ mins with time on the floor together with Kyrie.
Let's hope the 3's keep on falling.

Bobkitties are weird, they aren't good but they are pesky. They don't go away so they can be a tough team to defeat.

So goes the fate of a jump shooting team.
Well at least we're not Detroit!

I wonder if Gee Unit will take over the starters role if Omri continues to suck

Gee and Jamison are playing inspired basketball. Gee came in and really turned things around for us in a hurry.

Augustine is lighting us up like Jamal Crawford or Tyronn Lue..

In other words, Thompson is a beast.

Tristan Thompson throwing the HAMMER DOWN!
Did you guys see that stepback jumper? He looked like LeJudas out there LOL
I'm loving this kid's play! So happy we picked him with the forth.

The more we play, the more I wonder how many games we'd win if we were halfway decent free throw shooters.

Samardo and Gee have gotten much better than they were last year. Pretty nice scrap heap pickups from last year.

There was some Cavs fan that really wanted us to trade for Maggette last year. All I can say is what the heck were they thinking?

Same philosophy with how when guys get dumped by his hot girlfriend and feels the need to bang a few fatties.

Our whole second unit is exceeding expectations. Gee, Samuels, and Tristan have all made a nice impact, and even though I expected solid contributions from Boobie and Sessions, we are getting more than I anticipated. Gee has shocked me the most. I thought he was one of the worst rotation players in the NBA. Hes been pretty darn good off the bench for us.

Really everyone is playing well except Casspi.

Charlotte is resorting to Hack a Tristan. Man, we really need practice on free throws.

I can see that. LeBron and Maggette have similar bodies, but just waaaaay different. Its like finding a bar skank that KINDA looks like your old GF after a bunch of Jack, and you get that urge for a revenge bang......
