    How would you rate the bobcats so far this season?? I think they are not doing to bad even thought they dont have many wins but that was expected. I think they will be a good team in the next few years. I would build a team around the starting lineup we have right now. [​IMG]

    Yeah, they have been exceeding (at least mine) expectations. They could've had a couple more wins if they didn't collapse, but they have still been very competitive.

    I would also say that they are doing pretty well. Least they aren't as bad as the Hawks. They are a shame to my hometowm. But yes, the Bobcats are pretty well off and if they get some guys this offseason they should be pretty well off.

    I love they play their heat out, this is not your typical expansion team's play, as T-Mac put it, they have a star in the making in Emeka.

    I am actually loving to hear about the Bobcats, It just seems they are always doing good in games and when they loose, its not a blow out and they are actually becoming one of my favorite teams other than the Lakers.

    They are really impressing me and I think they are doing a great job this year being a new team, who knows pick up a couple good players in lottery like Meka and they could be the ideal expansion team not getting caught in the rut of being sent into Lottery for ten plus years.

    BOBCATS-- next year with a one two of Okafor and a rookie (maybe Warrick) should be sweet

    I like the team that the Bobcats have assembled. Brevin Knight is doing a great job of distributing the ball, Okafor has been awesome, Steve Smith provides a veteran presence and shooting, then a lot of unproven youth.

    Overall, the team is solid and just needs to grow up and maybe add a couple more pieces. Another presense in the post to ease off pressure on 'Meka and add depth. With some good draft picks, we are looking a contender, especially when the weak is so weak.

    The Bobcats are doing much, much better than I expected but I dont think that GW should be starting . I mean if you got Kareem Rush and Keith Bogans who look like they have a bigger upside than him you should start one of the two. I'd take Bogans, because he hustles more. The team Bernie Bickerstaff has assembled is amazing for an expansion team.

    Bobcats grade: B-

    The Bobcats are a good team, Bernie Bickerstaff was the perfect for you guys. He did a pretty good job in DC before they fired him, which I really didn't agree with. Great start for an expansion franchise. You guys are no pushovers.

    I think they're overachieving for their expectations. I really like this team and once they start coming together I think they could win more games.

    They're being touted as the best NBA expansion team ever and if they can continue to win I think they could be.

    I saw the Bobcats this month in Oakland. They played very well and really should have won the game. Okafor has some very nice post moves, a pretty jump hook, and his teammates really should feed him the ball more. Knight is dependable and the Cats really lost the game when he was out of the game and started making stupid turnovers. The surprising guy was Kapono. I watched him at UCLA and he looked pretty dumpy in his last couple of years. I did not recognize the guy in the 'Cats uniform, he was a slimmed down surfer dude who could really shoot (7-12 for 16 pts.) The Cats have a good foundation for the future.

    They are doing great, did anyone expect them to beat the defending champs and houston 2 straight times?

    well i have to give them a B. many people were writing them off as walkovers and a "garbage time" team, but they have shown thier resolve and determination in the current season. they have so far overacheived, and have impressed me
