Will the Bobcats win 9 games this year?

[HylianNightmare]

depends on how they fill out the rest of the roster with FA's

[SpecialQue]

No. This team's a joke. The NBA needs to get rid of this team and the Hornets, since nobody wants to watch any of their crappy-ass games.

[hawkfan]

MJ led the charge to limit players' salaries, so some free agents are giving the Bobcats the cold shoulder.

MJ is the worst GM ever.

[KembaWalker]

They were 4 games out from the playoffs. I am sure they are capable of winning more then 9 games :facepalm

[hawkfan]

Yes, they were decent at one point when they had Gerald Wallace and Stephen Jackson, who are legitimate NBA players.

When they traded way for cap space, do you think they still were even remotely close to the same team.

[DuMa]

Bismack and kemba will save the season

[rufuspaul]

We just let Kwame go and Rod Higgins (a horrible manager who only has a job because he's MJ's buddy) says we'll be okay using Boris Diaw and Gana Diop at the 5.:wtf:

Gana is coming off a rupture achilles and Boris is , well, Boris. Higgins actually said he thinks Boris can guard Dwight Howard.:eek:

:facepalm

We're fukked. I'll be surprised if we win 5 games.

[KembaWalker]

LOL we will see :rolleyes:
Isn't Bismack caught up in some contract problems at the moment? Don't see him coming to save the season any time soon :D

[2LeTTeRS]

Will the Bobcats win 9 games this year?

As I said in the other thread if your going to be bad anyway, its better to be completely horrible than just be a few games under .500.

Looks like Cho finally convinced the rest of the front office that.

[rufuspaul]

LOL we will see :rolleyes:

Yeah. He can't practice with the team and his season is in doubt. Trial in Spain is scheduled for 12-19 I believe. But even if he does get to play, he's a very raw athlete who's gonna need time and coaching to develop.

Damn, I was really interested to see how they would develop him from day one. I understand he is going to be quite a project, but I cant be the only one who wants to see him swat a shot into the stands and hear the commentators "monster block by Biyombo" or something along those lines :oldlol:

[hawkfan]

What free agents have the Bobcats signed?

[Talent]

Yes the team has some young talent that will shock some teams that come in and underestimate them. The team should win at least 15 games :lol

[coin24]

What free agents have the Bobcats signed?

Havnt heard of a single one:confusedshrug:

Prob going for all out tank this season...

[Rnbizzle]

I guess it'll be sort of fun to see Kemba operate with the green light on offense, other then that.. It'll be painful to watch.

My prediction is 7 wins. I'm sorry, but I got a feeling they'll lose a whole lot.

I think that is one of the few things to look forward to. That and Derrick Browns Poetry hour is back!!!!

[alenleomessi]

can at least someone write the damn bobcats roster?

[Talent]

can at least someone write the damn bobcats roster?

off the top of my head.

PG DJ/Kemba
SG HENDO/Carrol
SF Magette/Diaw/Cunningham (maybe)/Brown
PF Thomas/Diaw/Bismack/White
C Diop/Bismack/White

[rufuspaul]

What free agents have the Bobcats signed?

Derrick Brown and...oh yeah Derrick Brown.:(

Don't get me wrong, I like UPS but he's not the answer to our problems.

I have season tx so I will be there. It'll be fun seeing Kemba and DJ battle it out but we're not winning many. My best hope is that Kemba proves to be the real deal and that Biyombo gets to play and develop.

[Harison]

Jordan's goal isnt to win, its to make money. He is tanking for couple of seasons now till he drafts a legit star, exploits him, and then sell star out. Rinse and repeat.

[senelcoolidge]

I wish the Bobcats the best. I like them. But they are going to be very bad this season.

What an absolutely horrible roster.
Bismack may not even play for the Bobcats this year.

I understand teams being bad. One year the Hawks won 13 games, but we played younger players and got them to develop - Smith, Childress, Pachulia.

This is about half of a legitimate NBA roster and half of a CBA level roster.

[hawkfan]

Neg repped in this thread.
Lame.

[Kyle_korver]

Bobcats get 3 wins

[ThatsGame]

They'll sweep the Lakers this season.

This is just all an elaborate ploy until we steal CP3 from under the Lakers and Clippers nose. :pimp:

I can dream, right? :cry:

Props for sticking with your team mate. I was baffled when they gave away Crash for nothing last season. He seemed to be the heart of that team, Jack too i guess! Were Cats fans furious with that move??

[The Macho Man]

I have predicted 6-60.

If Kemba turns out to be incredible, 12-54

[(e)]

Kimba doesn't lose...

I bet the Bobcats get at least 10 wins.

[KBryant24]

Bismack and kemba will save the season
kemba will win 7-8 games on his own

[rufuspaul]

Devistated. I understand it from a point where we were approaching the luxury tax with a team that was 1st round playoffs at best. MJ blew it up. I'm hoping the draft and FA this summer give us hope but I'm starting to think MJ is just a cheap ass.

[2LeTTeRS]

In a half-hour interview, Jordan said he's grudgingly accepted team vice chairman Curtis Polk's lean toward strategic planning. That means fewer impulsive moves and more effort to conserve space under the salary cap for the summers of 2012 and 2013 and beyond.

That likely means a team this season that will struggle to contend. They're remarkably young, built around two rookies (Kemba Walker and the yet-unsigned Bismack Biyombo) and three veterans 25 or younger (Tyrus Thomas, D.J. Augustin and Gerald Henderson). Though the playoffs are a long shot, Jordan grimaced Wednesday when he said the following:

"Does that mean we have to get a high draft pick this year? I don't know - I'm afraid to admit to that."

Then MJ just redoes who gets jumpman endorsements.


Then recommends who doesnt get endorsements from Nike, gatorade, etc.

Don't get on Mj's bad side

If Jordan comes out of retirement then maybe

I understand MJ is trying to save money and a team is a business, I just don't understand how he can tolerate owning a losing team. Isn't this the same hypercompetitive guy who would convince himself other players were disrespecting him to motivate himself?

Yeah I feel the same way. I think he realizes that in a small market you have to do the things OKC did (reason he hired Rich Cho) and build through the draft, accumulate cap space and then go after some FAs. He still has that competitiveness imo. That's why he fired Larry Brown and blew the team up. He wasn't satisfied with just being a 1st round playoff team.

I agree he is doing this the right way trying to build though the draft but it was frustrating losing Crash for basically nothing. Just have to be patient I guess.

"With the second pick of the NBA draft, the Charlotte Bobcats will select Mason Plumlee"

We're bringing him back to fill out the roster!:rockon:

These are MJ's Bobcats 1st round picks:

Morrison
Augustin
Ajinca
Henderson
Walker
Biyombo

Morrison was a bust. Ajinca was Larry Brown's late 1st round project that still might develop on someone's roster. Walker and Biyombo are rookies and Augustin and Henderson are starters. Other than Ammo the cats picked pretty much the best player available at spots from which they were picking.

In Kemba We Trust

Can't wait to see how he adjusts to the NBA...my favorite player since Kobe & Rudy Gay.

[KembaWalker]

I stand corrected.... :facepalm :biggums:

[OneBadUsername]

Good call.

[stallionaire]

Everyone and their mom dogged this team before the season started.

Wasn't hard to see considering MJ traded away all their stability for a younger core.

knicks have a tendency to lose to shitty teams
If you're referring to tonight (and not the loss earlier in the season), I don't want to win or play any starters except maybe STAT (so he can get some more reps, but no more than 20 min). We still have a chance at playing Chicago if we lose and Philly wins. Not likely because even with a third string line up of: Douglas-Bibby-Landry-Novak-Jorts/Gadz we could beat this pathetic team.

How depressing is it that if we beat Charlotte earlier this season (or recently Cleveland), we would have the #6 seed..... :coleman: :coleman:
