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.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.
