    Default Let's Remember the Good

    It hurts to be a Bobcats fan. We all know it. Amidst the 7-43 season and the "Bring Back the Buzz" campaign that humiliates me for owning any Bobcats gear, I needed an injection of the better times. I think we all do. So let's use this thread as a means to remember the best moments of our franchise, knowing that hopefully sooner than later we will have more of these.



    We lost this game, but some of these highlights are awesome, particularly the excitement of the crowd.



    Once again, the crowd here gives me chills.

    And of course, Gerald Wallace's 2010 All-Star Weekend.

    Positivity!!! I love it (even though honestly I have horrible memories of that playoff series, and it reminded me that we started Theo Ratliff?!) That intro video still gives me goosebumps though. When its good here... its really good.

    As far as that Bring Back the Buzz thing goes. I was pretty disappointed in them at the game friday. I have been one of the people on board for getting the name back. But coming to a Bobcats game and loudly cheering for an opposing franchise is a silly way to get your point across. They would have made a much more significant influence had they showed up in the colors and cheered for the Bobcats only instead of the New Orleans Hornets. Starting conflicting chants of Lets Go Hornets when the Lets go Bobcats chant starts is a pretty screwed up message.

    I was at Game 3 with my boy, and I can honestly say that's about the only time Time Warner Cable Arena felt like the old Hive. That place was on fire, and we were only a 44-38 7th seed. It doesn't take a ton to get it going here, and the fact that we're still 21st in attendance while being the worst team in the league by far says a lot to me.

    We actually were talking about this whole Hornets debate, and I think a nice compromise would be to bring the colors back and let the name go. A color rebranding doesn't cost as much and several teams have done this throughout the league the past few years.

    I've thought about this as well, and I think about what the Wizards did going back to the old Bullets design. Could the same work here?

    I too have some pretty bad memories from that playoff series. I remember sitting in my seat for about 30 minutes after game 3 talking to some random guy about how terrible Ray played for letting Nelson drop 32 on his head with 5 WIDE OPEN threes. We had that game won and it would've been awesome seeing our first playoff win in person but he dropped the ball.

    Man, that team was really good. Just one player away. Shame.

    So this was fun, one of my favorite moments in 'Cats history:




    A little more good time from recent memory:




    And, well, this is just a sampling of the genius that is Derrick Brown:

    That stretch got us national attention. Miss that.

    Biyombo's block is the best moment of this season IMO.

    Gerald's tip in winner against Memphis was awesome as well. I had forgotten about it.

    And Derrick Brown...he is the man.

    These are good guys, I'm already starting to feel better.
