We've been stopped on the street and harassed for not showing enough wanton love to the Bobcats, by far the weirdest, most sick and twisted team in the postseason. As brave and futuristic as the Thunder are, trying to even make a bandwagon out of them is like getting married to your iPhone. What's more, while Kevin Durant was busy getting man-handled by Ron Artest and the Thunder's slippery line-up crushed by Andrew Bynum, Gerald Wallace was grabbing rebounds over Dwight Howard.

We had figured that, like something built with instructions xeroxed from The Anarchist's Cookbook, this team would either fizzle, burn off the hair of all involved or make its owner very, very dangerous. Orlando may have won the battle, but the war is on. When Stephen Jackson promises an upset, and Gerald Wallace states nonchalantly that "We will keep going at him. If he blocks 20 shots, he blocks 20 shots,'' Charlotte is one single win away from throwing these whole playoffs into disorder -- however briefly.

When I first saw the part of this that you posted on BCP I thought this article was showing respect for our Bobcats but upon reading the whole article I can't really say if they respect our Bobcats or find them an anomaly. I found myself getting pissed at the disrespect they showed Felton and Augustine. Especially Felton. Raymond may not be the best pg but I find it disgusting they could put Lawson or Collison ahead of him. I really like Lawson but to say he is better than either Felton or Augustine at this stage in his career is just flat out wrong. Augustine may not have had the best overall season but as he has found his confidence late in the year he is as good as Collison and a bit better than Lawson.

I suppose I could have read beyond the part of this article where they totally disparage our two more than adequate pg's but that really set me off.

Overall this is a condescending and disrespectful article and they surmise that if we win a game in the playoffs it will be like a disgrace to the NBA.

Sometimes my reading comprehension is not so great so if this article was not belittling our beloved Bobcats, forgive me for coming unhinged.
