I honestly don't think we are gonna make it back to the playoffs. I don't have much faith in D.J.

Hope he proves me wrong.

Go Cats!!!

If D.J plays like he did in the preseason, we wont miss Felton at all. I say that as a UNC fan.

But if D.J struggles, expect a trade...

With that said, I don't expect the 'Cats to win this game just because of their history against Dallas.

I don't expect a win, but I do expect a close loss.

D.J has surely made me a believer this preseason. The sooner he plays without LB riding his coattails the better.

Captain Jack has looked the usual this preseaon, but I definitely see a more explosive step in his offensive game, especially when he's down-low. Which he was terrible at last season.

Wallace pretty much played the preseason with the lulz. I wouldn't read to much into his crappy stats.

Tyrus looked above average this preseason. His sheer energy, effort, and athletic dominance is going to translate very well into this season.

My breakout player of the year is going to be Derrick Brown. His Preseason play was astounding, his quick hands, athletic ability, and shooting ability is going to form him into a good player in this league. If Larry Brown doesn't work Wallace for 40+ minutes a game like last year he definitely needs to give Brown 20+.

And trade Diaw while he's still worth something. I can't stomach the fact that he's going to be stealing minutes from Tyrus again this year, due to Larry's stubborn ass.

Long story short, while the Bobcats hardly improved in any category this summer (Center position :blargh: ) I can see a repeat of last year if they're to stick with the current roster for the rest of the summer (knowing Larry I highly doubt this)

I'm optimistic for a hard fought game on Wednesday.

Stack Jack tweaked a tendon in his ankle. But he says he'll be "ready" for tomorrow's opener.

Coach Larry Brown said he was “alarmed,” fearing his top scorer from last season had hurt his Achilles’ tendon. Jackson, who rarely sits out a drill, hobbled to the sideline and was later spotted with his ankle elevated and wrapped.

But soon trainer Steve Stricker had good news: Jackson had only a strained tendon in his left ankle.

“It’s getting better now, nothing serious,” Jackson insisted. “I’ll be ready to go” Wednesday.

i think we win tonight. also think we make the playoffs again this year. the one thing we do well is play d & very few teams put forth the effort we do every game. the only teams clearly better than us currently are the heat,celtics,magic,bulls & maybe the bucks& hawks. so we should be in the thick of things in the east. if we get decent play at the point & center position we could surprise alot of people this year.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
