Remember when Tyrus Thomas jumped over former Bulls and current Bobcats teammate Ben Gordon in the Slam Dunk Contest? That was in 2007, almost six years ago to the day. Tyrus was a 20-year-old rookie then, a slam-dunking pogo stick of a power forward who seemed to enjoy attempting to tear the rim down every time he got the chance.
A lot can change in six years, especially in the world of sports. Case in point, the average NBA career doesn’t even last six years. That said, one would figure that Tyrus Thomas, who entered the NBA in ’06 with a reported 40-inch vertical and nine-foot standing reach, would still be able to dunk a basketball. While he may no longer be a young basketball player, at 26 years old he is still a very young man — a very young man who stands 6’8”, maintains his physique for a living, and has suffered no catastrophic leg injuries. There’s absolutely no way he can’t dunk a basketball, right?
Yikes.
In all seriousness, the case of Tyrus Thomas is a baffling ...

After last season, you would say the Charlotte Bobcats could not get any worse. The team posted a 7-59 record and set a new NBA low for winning percentage (.106). This year, Charlotte is still the worst team in the league, but they are improving… sort of. Instead of setting new NBA records for futility, the Bobcats are just getting close. The 1993-94 Dallas Mavericks hold the...

One of those streaks will come to an end Saturday night when the Bobcats host the Timberwolves.
Charlotte owns the league's worst overall record at 10-32 after losing its last three games, but most concerning...

Gerald Henderson picked the wrong night for some late-game heroics.
Less than an hour after second-year star Kyrie Irving hit a game-winning three pointer to clinch a victory for the Cavaliers, Henderson did the same, though the Bobcats didn’t make it look quite as easy. It took nearly the entire 24-second shot clock for Charlotte to get the ball off, and the Bobcats (or Cats,...

I am not a coach but I am pretty positive that this was not the play that Mike Dunlap drew up. The play that was suppose to be run went horrible wrong and turned one of the sloppiest plays to end a game into a game winning shot by Gerald Henderson. The Bobcats fans lost their minds and the Timberwolves looked so confused.

In typical fashion, the Wolves can end a milestone tonight....for the other team. That being a 16-game home losing streak for the Bobcats. Same deflated lineups against an even more deflated team. Quintuple team Kemba Walker and we should win it, for the rest of the Bobcats roster less Henderson and Kidd-Gilchrist to some degree, are more offensively inept than the Wolves at this...

Gerald Henderson's desperation 3-pointer at the shot-clock buzzer with 4.6 seconds remaining, after a series of thrills and spills during the possession, gave the Bobcats a 102-101 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday...

The Cleveland Cavaliers and Charlotte Bobcats are two of the worst teams in the NBA , but over the weekend both teams won on game winning shots.
First the Cavs, there were down by two to Toronto but that had the ball with 12.6 seconds left. Irving walked the ball up court and calmly knocked down a three pointer with .7 seconds left to give the Cavs the one point victory. This already...

The importance of the game at Time Warner cannot be overstated. Our path to the playoffs starts with a win against the Timberwolves. It will also involve incredible luck, roughly 200 injuries to players on other Eastern Conference teams, and the entire stock of a meth lab roughly the size of the state of Colorado, but that’s later. First comes a win against...
