    Prediction

    Memphis and Charlotte are both coming off tough losses, so both will be hungry for wins. Emeka Okafor looks to have hitten the rookie wall, so it should be interesting to see if he can have a solid game. I think it will be close before the Bobcats pull away late. Charlotte by 7.

    nice preview. i definently think that the bobcats will win this one. they are hungry for victory after wining just once in the last nine if i remember correctly. but i say bobcats by 12. okafor will have 20, 14, 3, and 2 blocks. knight will be a good contributer for the cats in this one and i see him havin 13, 5, 13 and 3 steals.

    Wow, that was horrible. The Bobcats defense can sometimes be good, and at others be like 'Wait, that's an NBA team?' Good game by the Grizzlies.
