The Bobcats are officially in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. They have a small chance of improving their seed and it all starts tonight. But the question remains, will Charlotte look to improve their standing or will the starters play limited minutes so no injury is risked? Either way it is nice to know that we can watch these games without so much stress. Go Bobcats!

We beat them with Theo and Tyson last time, I think if we have at least 3 of our 4 bigs healthy we can beat them. If Diop can get healthy I think we have a nice shot, since that's 18 fouls to wear down Howard. It's good to have Nazr back.

Or that. At least we would have some confidence knowing we have beat the Cav's all year. We can't beat the Magic.

We beat the Magic this year bro, there are only a few playoff teams that we have not beaten. Out of all 17 teams in contention for the playoffs. The only 4 the Bobcats have not beaten are the Celtic's Maverick's, Jazz, and Trailblazer's.

I feel really comfortable playing the Magic. Howard is good, but he is only one man. Howard can not take on all three centers from the Bobcats. We can throw Ratliff, Chandler, Mohammad, hell even Diop out there. I like our chances verses the Magic much more than our chances verses the Celitc's.

Thats a good point. I forgot we had him in our win against them. I saw a stat that we have won one game in our last 12 against them. That's kind of scary but i guess we're 1-0 with this new line up. :)

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
