Shame on You Boris Diaw
Typically when I write for sites I try to stay away from negative posts that just bash anything and everything that is wrong with the team. Those kinds of posts are easy to write (because all of us with access to the internet are experts at what we write about), but I think they are not near as much fun to write.
However, there are some occasions in which I feel it necessary to...

Comments from the other side - Bobcats 2/7
Have to feel for Bobcats fans. Most of their forums are all about how bad their own team is. But I have to give them props for staying with their team. Not a lot of hatred for the Celtics like we get on the NY boards and some others. Other than the person who thought it would be cool for Pierce to get stabbed, that is. I imagine we'll see lots of that in Thursday's game...

How About a Second Look at the Bobcats-Suns Game
TSP Andrew: Sometimes you just need to take several looks at a game from different perspectives. Since today is an off day, perhaps you want a second glance at what went down in Phoenix last night. If so, I think you need to read this:
"Looks like Gortat needed three arms to control Diaw this time"BOBCATS FALL (AGAIN) 95-89
So… one of the worst records in NBA history...

Who Else Got Fat During the NBA Lockout, Mr. Diaw?
Boris Diaw played in France during the lockout, but rumor has it that he spent the entire summer doing nothing but eating croissants and choosing when he wanted to practice. This photo of Diaw wearing an Eddy Curry uniform was taken hours before a recent Bobcats practice:
(Actually, it’s from this blog post about how fat Eddy Curry was. We’re told Diaw could never...

Diaw has struggled of late, scoring just three points in the last two games.
The move will have a ripple effect on the starting lineup. Walker will make his first NBA start at the point guard, while D.J. Augustin moves to the...

The Bobcats have been particularly bad within the Southeast Division this season. They're now 0-7 against the other four teams...

Day 35 of 124: Where Kemba Walker Joins Stephen Jackson and Boris Diaw
Line of the Night: It has been one wild ride this year for Tyreke Evans (2.57 WARP). Horrible shooting performances and single-digit scoring games followed by games like this against the Jazz: 31 points, with 6 rebounds, 9 assists and 2 steals. Evans owners would surely appreciate a little more consistency from Evans this season, but his highs keep them coming back for more.
