For a franchise that won a mere seven games last season en route to the worst season in NBA history, winning a couple of games here and there may seem like a breath of fresh air. In that case, the Charlotte Bobcats 7-10 start through the team’s first seventeen games may be the biggest surprise of the early NBA season. But, as with most cases there are always detractions that come with success. And in the Charlotte Bobcats’ case you have to wonder if they winning too many games too fast. The more victories the Bobcats steal this season, the lower the chances of Charlotte landing another top five pick to add another crucial young piece to their budding core. It may be early, but it wouldn’t hurt if Charlotte came back to earth for the remainder of the season.

Another night, another loss. It's really hard as a Bobcats fan to run a blog site as professional as possible and to not get carried away by fast starts and solid wins. In the same breath, however, it's hard to not drift back into the mentality that I had last season. That mentality was one where I didn't see...

As is often the case with NBA scheduling, mercy is in short supply. The guys have been dealing with some especially hard knocks of late. Perhaps, the scheduling gods thought, the time is ripe for an away/home back-to-back. Starting things off is a trip up to Milwaukee for a game against the streaking Bucks. Luckily for the Bobcats, the “Deer” have been streaking in the same direction...

With both guards using their speed to their advantage, it will be interesting to see how Walker defends on the perimeter and...
