Steve Aschburner of SI.com gives the Bobcats a C+. I think that's fair. Thoughts?

Charlotte Bobcats: With 10 victories in the last 17 games, Larry Brown is starting to get results from a team that is retooling on the fly. But only the Lakers have played as few road games as Charlotte's 17 -- and the Bobcats haven't built up quite the same cushion at home. Rookie D.J. Augustin has turned Raymond Felton into trade bait. Grade: C+

I don't agree actually. If you compared us to when we started this year or when we finished last year, it's like night and day.

Right on.

I give us an A- so far. DJ Augustin has proved to be at least in the top 3 of his class so far. Our trade with Phoenix will turn out to be one-sided. While I loved Dudley's work ethic, I am not sad to see Richardson gone and we got 3 quality players in return. Bell is playing with renewed enthusiasm; Diaw sees this as his time to shine. Okafor, Wallace and Felton are flourishing with a passing big that spaces the floor much better for us. I may be biased about Sean Singletary but I have had my eye on this dude since his freshman year at Virginia. He's got the passion and skills to be a dominant PG in this league if he has talent around him. He lead that Virginia team to many more wins than they deserved because of his sheer athleticism and desire. Getting rid of Carroll and Hollins is incredible, they were ghosts on the court anyways. Diop and Juwan Howard has bolstered our bench greatly. I thought Brown was waiting until Feb. 6th to pull another big trade b/c that's when Bell/Diaw/Singletary would become available but I don't know anymore... I like what I see so far.

of course we are, but this isn't just judging the new look team, its on the whole first half of the season. In that aspect A c of any sort is a good grade with the start this team had. If you want to grade the new look team, i'd give them a B overall with loads of room for improvement.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)

      I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
