Chris Mannix of SI: The Bobcats will rally to make the playoffs

[Black]

The firing of Larry Brown leaves an already unsettled team in complete chaos, and rumors are flying that owner Michael Jordan is ready to hold a fire sale for the roster. But the firm hand of interim coach Paul Silas will regain control of the team and offensive-oriented point guard D.J. Augustin will thrive away from Brown's controlling hand. Stephen Jackson and Gerald Wallace will pick up their play in the second half of the season and Charlotte will beat out Milwaukee for the No. 8 spot.

Just Mannix making predictions for 2011, but it's always nice to read someone from the national media has some faith in us.

I dunno about that lol.....as much faith as I have in all of my teams, the Heat are awfully good. I think we can compete but IDK if we will come anywhere close to them.

Take them shades off dude for real. Yeah we came close to beating Miami, but have you seen them play lately. Time playoffs roll around they will shatter teams like us IF we make the playoffs.

we'll see on monday when we play the heat, but I think orlandos team last year was much more of a mismatch for us then the heat will be.

At least 2 of those four games against the Heat will be fun to watch! Just trying to be optimistic...
