A Work in Progress - A Charlotte Bobcats Franchise

[Lupe]

A Work in Progress

Record: 13-32


Season in Review So Far
The Bobcats have had a terrible season so far. They started off 4-2 and were looking much better without Jason Richardson. But then it all went downhill. The Bobcats went on a 7 Game losing streak and it was a total struggle. Gerald Wallace had been on a tear earlier in the year even having a 45 Point Game once but then teams switched up there game-plan seeing all they had to do was shut wallace down to win the game. Then the injury came along.

If Gerald Wallace could have stayed healthy the Bobcats would have a better record

Gerald Wallace broke his hand coming down on a hard foul the Bobcats and Bulls Game. Team Docters said that wallace would be out 4-6 Weeks with the Broken Hand. Forward Desmond Mason would step in for Wallace and averge 11 PPG while he was out. Charlotte played terrible without Wallace having to mainly rely on Emeka Okafor had some huge game for the Bobcats but even with Okafors great play The Bobcats were struggling badly without Wallace. Now Gerald has returned. In Wallaces 2nd Game Back the Bobcats suffered yet another loss this time to the Lakers losing by 30 Points. Wallace had 22 Points on 10-25 Shooting. If things don't turn around soon the Bobcats might have to make a Move or possibly Fire Head Coach Larry Brown.

Many Wonder if Larry Brown should have been fired by now.

Key Matchup

VS

The Last time these 2 teams faced off we saw Deron Williams hit a walk off game winning 3 for Utah to win by 2 Points. Now it's the rematch. The Bobcats head into Salt Lake City fresh off a loss @ Denver as they look to steal a win in Utah. The Bobcats are planning on Double teaming Carlos Boozer alot in this game as Boris Diaw will prolly not be able to hand Boozer one on one. Boozer dropped 23 On The Bobcats the last time around. It should be hard to get a win in Utah for Charlotte but it could happen.

VS

Key Matchup

VS

The Bobcats head home after a 5 Road-Trip to face a struggling Hawks team. Atlanta is struggling right now but they are fighting to sneak into the playoffs. This could be a much needed win for Atlanta but the Bobcats are hoping get the win. If they Bobcats want to win this game shutting down Joe Johnson is key. If they do expect a big win for the Bobcats at home.
