Bobcats forum??

BTW the Bobcats will gain thousands of fans overnight the day they change their name from the Charlotte Bobcats to the Carolina Bobcats. Suddenly all of North and South Carolina feel like a part of the team. Richardson was a genius in that regard.

Simple fix. Tell MJ plz

Welcome to Charlotte, that's how we do it here......go to a home game when the panthers are playing the steelers......nothing new

True, but teams like the steelers, skins, pack travel well that's part of it. Those people are also fans who didn't want to change allegiance when the team came. Not like the Heat have some great tradition, these people probably jumped on a year and a half ago.

Reclaiming the Hornets name would be better.

Carolina Hornets. I like it. I think they need to get the rest of the state in the fold. I am in Raleigh and although I pull for the Bobcats I feel like no one has the feeling they represent us the way the Panthers do.

Agree, getting them on TV up there would help too. From friends who go up to school in the triangle it's hard to get the Cats game as opposed to easily getting the Canes games here in the QC.

No poo. I have DirectTv so I don't get the Cats games at all here in Raleigh. TWC has the games I think.

Not only that but Direct TV also blocks the games if you get the league pass. There is literally no way to watch a Cats game if you have Direct TV. It is bullpoo.

The NBA, moreso than any other professional sport, is built on the names of the players, not the teams. NBA fans don't say they're a fan of the Heat, they're a fan of LeBron, Wade, Paul, Griffin, etc. and follow the team that their player is on.

This is why Charlotte will always have split crowds when teams with "name" players come to town. It's easily that way for 2/3 of the league's teams.

Charlotte gets flack for being a bandwagon city, but they proved tonight that if you give them a reason to watch (Cam, taking the Heat to the wire, etc.) they will show up.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
