Bobcats Poised for Playoffs

Shapecity · Nov 30, 2009

The Bobcats may only be 7-9, but they're in the East, so a sub-.500 record might be good enough to get them into the playoffs.

And as ESPN's John Hollinger notes in today's PER Diem, their defense could be key to them sneaking into one of the last playoff spots.

"Through 16 games, it's the surprising Bobcats who lead the NBA in defensive efficiency, making up for an anemic offense that stands just 28th -- only the league's two doormats, Minnesota and New Jersey, are worse," he writes. "Nonetheless, the recent trade for Stephen Jackson has made the Bobcats a bit more potent offensively. When combined with their defensive prowess, that enables them to be the East's fifth-ranked team in the Power Rankings.

"The Bobcats may not stay on top all season, but they shouldn't stray too far down the leaderboard, either. Although they have little depth, they may finally break the franchise's playoff hex if they can stay healthy."
