<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Q. The Bobcats came so close to winning so many times! How many games would they have won if they had been given a 3-point handicap for being an expansion team? -- Barbara Pinion, Albemarle Barbara, I like the way you think. We used to do that in the backyard, when the big guys had to play football on their knees or bat left-handed. But in the NBA, these are VERY big guys. And they don't do that. You are right that our orange tabbies were a bunch of cardiac cats this season. We should've known they would lose nail-biters when they dropped their first preseason game by one point -- in double-overtime. During their 18-64 season, they lost a staggering 15 games by three points or less. "It was disappointing all the time in those situations, and most of the times we were the culprits," Coach Bernie Bickerstaff told Glad. "What happened in those situations, though, was that the guys took that and used it as an incentive. They didn't surrender to it."</div> Link
