Reply With QuoteI love bill, I've been reading his "Book of Basketball" and he is absolutely hilarious. Such a good head on his shoulders... But think about it, is what he's saying about the bobcats not somewhat true?

I'm sorry guys, I can't fucking take it anymore! I love Bill Simmons, he's funny, insightful, and genuinely loves basketball. He also fucking hates the Bobcats and I grow weary of reading about how Charlotte should be contracted and there are no fans and so on and so forth. Here's a link to his latest in which he lambastes Charlotte once again.

"Even worse, you can't totally blame them: Nobody goes to their games, nobody watches them, and if they can't compete for a title, what's the sense of competing at all? Why not bottom out and hope for a miracle? Contract these guys. "
That's the general gist of it. Now maybe I'm still a little sensitive with Crash being gone and all, but I think we all need to let that prick know Charlotte is well represented. I already sent my very own go fuck yourself email, I'm sure if we send enough we may force his hand on his next article! Or at least make him comment on our voracity.
Go forth and conquer Bobcats faithful!
Sincerely,
Shrimp Jackson

Not really, no.
If it is true about the Bobcats then why not reduce the NBA to about 6 teams since really there are only maybe 4 that have a legit shot at a title any time soon. That is what I do not understand about the BS that being a bottom playoff team does not matter. Why even make it 8 seeds then?

I was agreeing with the fact that we have a lack of fans, I probably should have clarified what I was agreeing with, sorry.
I didn't mean to direct that at you more along the lines of trying to make a general statement. The current state of the NBA sucks and I literally mean that there should only be about 6 NBA teams at this point if it is all about winning a championship.Originally Posted by MrsButtersworth

I agree with you that it isn't all about winning a championship, actually, I agree with this whole quote

I think the main problem I find, is that most people look at our poor tv numbers and say we have absolutely no one watching televised games, which is beyond most of our control! They assume we just choose not to watch when most that I know are watching illegally online because we're desperate to see our team. I'm basically against Simmons' terrible bias against our team and NC teams in general. I mean it shows up every single time the Bobcats or Panthers are mentioned and it boggles my mind! We have teams that play hard and beats solid teams but we never get any credit from him. I think I've just seen too many of his snipes and petty shots at the bobcats lately and I've gone over the edge.
What email address did you send the message to? I would love to give him a piece of my mind. I have a lot of steam to let off after the recent trade. lol
