New Fan

[Schultz_Bennett_Stern]

The first Sonics game I ever went to Hersey Hawkins scored the game winning point against the rival Blazers. I was 9 years old and I will never forget it.

After about a year of not even paying attention to the NBA because I was so mad about the Sonics leaving. I think I am finally over it. The hardest part is to pick a team to root for. I never thought that I would have to do that. The Bobcats are a fairly new team, and you guy's already got one NBA team taken away yourself so it feels like the perfect fit. Actually, it's the only team I ever considered. I went through all the teams in the NBA and this is the only team I think I could root that would most resemble the feeling I got from the Sonics. I would feel stupid being a Celtics fan or something like that.

Next year i'm going to get the NBA package and follow this team every game. I miss the NBA too much, and sports in Seattle can't get any worse so losing is something I am already use to. I'm not at all the kind of fan to switch teams, i've never done that in my life and I never will unless a Seattle team is taken away.....again. Even if Seattle gets an expansion team i'm going to stick with the Bobcats. I'm a fan of teams more than anything. So after all my rambling I just wanted to say I look forward to watching this team and again getting that great feeling of competition in the NBA.

And for the future I appoligize for bad grammar.

Welcome bud, we're all a bunch of nuts here, don't take offense at anything we may or may not say, we love you no matter what

Amen to knowing what it feels like to lose a team, although in Charlotte's case we kind of forced Shinn's team (New Orleans will never have the "Hornets", we do) out, thanks to his sexcapades and stadium demands...you guys got screwed over by that Bennett guy.

Once agian welcome, if you need anything just ask, and if you're ever in the area come to a game, if you can't get tickets (which would be awesome for the team) I'm sure someone here could hook you up.

But welcome new one.

That's a good way to put it,lol. I really look forward to watching this team though. LB is a great coach and hopefully he will get this team rolling into the playoffs. Thanks everyone.

The bobcats are so disregarded in the league that even if we get 8th, wallop the Celtics and move to the second round we'd STILL not have a bandwagon...i can just hear ESPN "They better keep an eye on Larry's new project" its always so ridiculous when we get any real attention, such a farce... I'd rather they ignore us until next season when they can learn to say something reasonable.
