<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">They're right where they should be. At roughly the midpoint of the NBA season (entering game 40 of an 82-game schedule), the Bobcats (14-25) are on pace to win between 28 and 30 games. To place that in perspective, not one of the previous eight NBA expansion teams won more than 31 games in its third season. In other words, Charlotte is on target, collecting lottery picks, developing kids and assembling funds to sign a free agent or two. That playoff talk some players were spewing in training camp never made sense. In fact, it might be counterproductive to slip into the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference, considering what a great draft this could be. Give me a chance at Greg Oden or Kevin Durant over being swept in the first round. So what have the first 39 games been like? Let's review:</div> Source
Well obviously it's gonna be great to have a top pick in this draft, but if you have a chance to go to the playoffs and get this young team experience. You gotta take it. Also, even if we get swept it would steal bring excitement back to Charlotte and thats what we need. More fans=more money and that means Johnson will spend more. JMO
