He remains adamant they would have fulfilled a prediction he made and reached the playoffs last season -- if not for injuries to Emeka Okafor, Gerald Wallace and Sean May. Felton, a second-year guard, predicted Tuesday the Bobcats will make the playoffs in 2006-07 if they stay healthy. "It's playoffs. Definitely," Felton said during a news conference to promote the Bobcats' Oct. 17 exhibition with the Washington Wizards at North Carolina, where he played in college. "We have that type of talent. And I have that much confidence in my team." In September 2005, while speaking to eighth-graders at Piedmont Middle School, Felton predicted the Bobcats would make the playoffs. They finished 26-56. Milwaukee (40-42) grabbed the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Injuries limited Okafor, the 2004-05 rookie of the year, to 26 games, leading scorer Wallace to 55 and May to 23 in an 82-game schedule.</div> Source
Last year when I heard him say this, I thought he was a tad nuts..but I think the Bobcats are slowly having a bigger shot at the playoffs as they slowly put the pieces together to be successful.
I love this...Might be too overconfident but I would want that in a leader and this will hopefully make the rest of the Bobcats try and help prove him right
