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.

      Germaine Pratt available

      By trucpfan · Posted

      I meant to type more my bad…. first and main reason we’re probably trying to add him his pff scores are high very high. Being that we value that much more nowadays I know he’s on our radar. His run stopping grades were like the highest of all LBs. That would have given us top graded plates at all three levels Brown then Pratt with   JC and Moehrig were definitely stopping the run this year with these monsters fully healthy. I hope we dangling some of that Clowney money at him we need him to solidify our defense. add in the NC ties and we should be in play got his services

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      You're not even reading what I'm saying you're just ranting. It has everything to do with draft pick value vs. cap space impact. The agent knows he's holding significant draft capital over the GM's head vs. minimal cap impact. Not everyone is geared like Dave Gettleman where literally everything boils down to a dick measuring contest. History indicates the agents progressively whittle away and win the battle vs. the GMs on the rookie contracts. Hell, we have an owner throwing out typical 6th rounder guarantees at UDFAs just to secure them. He's not sweating pennies on the dollar against the cap or trying to protect his precious wallet. It's the one thing I do appreciate about Tepper. The man will spend to try to win. Being cheap hasn't been our issue.

      I would LOVE to have the talent that Oakland and NY(Giants) have. They were/are WAAAAAY better rosters.  I think we will finally crawl out of that "worst" spot this season, even as a massive sceptic.  We need it.
