Bobcats are now 3 games back of .500. The entire season is still in front of us. Everybody knows Coach Brown is gonna pull the trigger at some point. The Bobcats can still make some noise this season. The way we played the Heat last night, not laying down like bitches and taking it to the wire. Bashing the Suns in at home tonight on a back to back by 20+, the Mighty Bobcats look like they're waking up.

Jackson has Bobcats first triple double

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP)—Stephen Jackson had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for the first triple-double in franchise history for the Charlotte Bobcats, who took advantage of Steve Nash’s absence to beat the listless Phoenix Suns 123-105 on Saturday night.

It was the second career triple-double for Jackson, whose first also came against the Suns when he was with Golden State in the 2008-09 season. He hit 10-of-13 shots and led an efficient night for the Bobcats, who also got 26 points from Boris Diaw while shooting 58 percent from the field.

Tyrus Thomas added 22 points for Charlotte, which was met with little resistance by the Suns in transition and inside, scoring 64 points in the paint.

A night after a disappointing loss in Miami that saw Gerald Wallace foul out and then get ejected, Charlotte again got little early from its second-leading scorer, thanks to more foul trouble.

But Wallace scored 10 points in the fourth quarter while Jackson gave the 7-year-old Bobcats a milestone.

Coach Larry Brown had told Jackson in the exit interviews at the end of last season he thought triple-doubles could become a routine for the swingman, and he showed his all-around game as Brown tweaked his lineup.

Jackson, who also had two steals, two blocks and four turnovers, last had a triple-double Feb. 4, 2009.

Notes: It was Brown’s 1,323rd professional win, leaving him 13 shy of passing Don Nelson for the most all-time in the NBA and ABA. … Bobcats owner Michael Jordan wasn’t in his courtside seat for the first time this season. … The schedule allowed for (Phoenix Suns Coach Alvin) Gentry to visit his hometown of Shelby, N.C., on Friday, where he loaded up on barbecue, sweet tea and other Southern fare.

If I see Jack, I may have to hit him with his own style haymaker for this...

I dropped that mf'er from my fantasy team last week and was waiting to pick him back up if he picked his play up.

Well, I needed a SF b/c Brandon Roy is my only other player capable of playing SF and he's turned out to be a bust this year b/c of injury. So, I go to pick Jack back up and my boy already picked him up. I'm so pissed about this lol...

No one ever said Jax doesn't have insane talent. I think he has a lot of mental lapses, maybe lose of confidence sometimes, but when he's on, he's ON. Hope our team turned a corner.

Also, how about DJ?

6-10, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 16 points, and most importantly ZERO turnovers. I think DJ is going to be just fine.

And Tyrus is proving everyone who was excited to get him right (most of us).

Jax also had 2 steals and 2 blocks.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
