Brandon SmithIt wasn’t Madison Square Garden during the Big East Tournament against Pittsburgh, but anyone who has followed Kemba Walker’s rise to stardom experienced some serious deja vu tonight in the final seconds of the Bobcat’s 89-87 win over Minnesota. Walker, guarded by Wanamaker Alexey Schved, performed his trademark crossover, step-back jumper to perfection with 0.9 seconds left in the fourth quarter to give the Bobcats the win. Walker tallied 22 points, four rebounds, five assists, and four steals in 45 minutes of action. The Bobcats are now a surprising 4-3 on the season, thanks in part to Walker’s excellent play so far this year. You can almost hear Gary McGhee’s ankles breaking in the background.

The Charlotte Bobcats at 4-3. I repeat: the Charlotte Bobcats are 4-3. A team that was a laughing stock in 2011 and really for the majority of their existence, is above .500 and playing some pretty inspired basketball. Head coach Mike Dunlap is better than advertised, and second year point guard Kemba Walker is looking [...]

Walker's jumper lifts Bobcats over Wolves
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Tie game, clock winding down, ball in his hands. It's been a while since Kemba Walker has been in that situation.
When he finally found himself there with the Charlotte Bobcats, the super-slick guard dipped into his UConn bag of tricks. Just like Villanova, Texas, Pitt and most other college teams he vanquished, the Minnesota Timberwolves had no chance.

I find the start to this season to be not just surprising but unfathomable. Last month if you had told me that the Bobcats would start the season 4-3 with a three-game winning streak, I would have assumed it was a sick joke. Incidentally, this also would have been my response if you’d told me [...]

New midset paying off for Bobcats
CHARLOTTE, N.C. --- When Tyrus Thomas dove for a loose ball heading out of bounds near the baseline in the second quarter Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards, it was clear the collective mindset of the Charlotte Bobcats was to execute at maximum effort.
Thomas saved the ball to a teammate, and about 12 seconds later Ramon Sessions converted a driving layup. It was one...

Short four starters and half of their normal active roster, Wednesday’s version of the Minnesota Timberwolves were about as undermanned a team as I’ve seen since Don Nelson was forced to exercise a little-known rule and put a fouled-out Warrior in the game during his most recent stint with Golden State. Lucky for Rick Adelman, his group of nine healthy bodies (one more...

Warrick brings Bobcats experience down low
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Charlotte Bobcats parted ways with veteran guard Matt Carroll on Tuesday, sending him to New Orleans for forward Hakim Warrick.
Warrick comes over after playing in just one game, but he should give the team more veteran experience down low. His next game will be the 500th of his seven-year career.
We are very excited to add a player of Hakims ability and...
