Bobs Re-Up with Thomas; Felton Likely Gone

The Bobs ended up not making any moves on draft night.  No trades, not even for a 2nd round pick.  In hindsight, I can’t say I’m upset.  Sure, it’s great to have a little excitement during the draft.  There is nothing like the hope and optimism created on draft night when your team picks up a [...]

Stephen Jackson Doesn’t Make Love to Pressure

Big miss for Captain Jack down the stretch.  His 3-point attempt wasn’t even close, bricking off the side of the rim, and it ended the series for the Bobs.  Game 4 is now just about pride.  I would have preferred that the Bobs take it inside – what was the whole point of fouling out [...]

Felton’s Days in Charlotte Likely Numbered

The Charlotte Observer printed a story last week about Raymond Felton possibly being traded to the Golden State Warriors.  I don’t know if he will ultimately be shipped to the Warriors, but I wouldn’t expect him to be in Charlotte much longer.  The Bobs clearly aren’t done dealing, and Felton is one of the best players [...]
