I'm sorry, I'm just not down with having a rivalry with Bobcats fans.

There's a certain futility to having two fan bases of losing teams going at it. Maybe the two teams can start going at it once we've each had a modicum of success?

This is true... maybe folks want to beat MJ anyway possible... first to contention wins.
Also agree with Combo... not many pieces that fit from our perspective... can only think of their draft pick.

its kind of hard to take a rivalry seriously when one team has 3 Championships, 5 NBA Finals appearances and another 6 Conference Finals appearances and the other team has never even won a playoff game.

on topic- I wouldnt mind bringing Hendo in for a look, but Jonas and Bynum is about all id be willing to give up.

if you go back to the beginning, it was mostly Char posters raiding our boards about how amazing kemba is and how we are stupid for picking knight. Always thought it was amusing that there was actually an argument about who's the better crappier team.

So tired for the "he-said, she-said" that's been going on.

Let it die.

This thing about Kemba being superior to Knight is misinformed... Kemba is a volume shooter at a lower %... the assists & t.o's are about the same... I'll take the guy with the higher IQ... PGs that gamble on defense lose more times than they win.. bottom line is who helps the team win.

To be fair Kemba's on a POS team in char. they give him free reign to do so. i'll definitely take knight over kemba, but i think at the end of their careers both will be great players. i have them even right now
