Late Rally by the Bobs Falls Short

The Charlotte Bobcats almost stole Game 1 in Orlando, but they Magic were able to hang on late for the win.  If the Bobs had won, I don’t know if they would have deserved it.  At times, the played like crap.  At other times, they were absolutely unbelievable.  Total polar opposites not just in the [...]

Don’t Forget About the Bobs

Once all of the dust settles from this busy Panthers news day, I will write another piece about MJ buying the team.  It will be easier to do so now that I don’t have a Davidson game to attend tomorrow afternoon…In the meantime, don’t forget about Charlotte’s NBA team.  Kobe is in town tonight, and Stephen [...]

Accolades Pour In for Stephen Curry

In the past two weeks, Stephen Curry has been selected to play in the NBA Rookie Challenge and compete in the Three-Point Contest over All-Star Weekend, and he was named Western Conference Rookie of the Month for January (Larry Brown was named Eastern Conference Coach of the Month for January).  Not bad for a guy [...]

Bobs Ridding Themselves of Road Woes

The San Antonio Spurs are about to kick off their rodeo road trip, which has traditionally united them for their annual playoff push.  This west coast road trip could have a similar effect for the Bobcats.   I realize that this could be a huge overstatement – two of our wins have come against the Warriors [...]

Scott Fowler on a Roll

That’s right, I just said that.  We have gotten some actual journalism out of Scott Fowler the last couple of weeks.  He came out with a good piece a couple of weeks ago analyzing whether Julius Peppers was worth his salary.  After last week’s escape against Tampa, he noted how the Panthers are basically playing [...]

It Helps That Dad Played Pro Ball

There was an article in the Observer yesterday about Stephen Curry’s preparation for his first NBA training camp.  I was struck by the Curry quote in the article: This is what it takes.  You’ve got to go to training camp at the top of your game and not use it to get in shape. How [...]

Droney Commits to Davidson

The Observer’s recruiting blogger is on vacation, so I thought I would post a little recruiting news.  Tom Droney, a highly-recruited guard from Pittsburgh, committed to Davidson this past week.  He chose Davidson over schools like Pitt, Notre Dame, Wake Forest, and Boston College.  Duke supposedly liked him too, but I don’t know if they [...]

Bobcats Draft Grades and Analysis

I have compiled a list of opinions across the internet on the Bobcats draft.  The general consensus is that not too many people are really enamored by the Gerald Henderson pick – they just think it was a solid move to make considering the circumstances – but many people think we got a steal in [...]

Henderson to Charlotte, Curry to Golden State…for now

Let me start off with a disclaimer that I watched the draft in a bar and was unable to hear the commentary.  So, forgive me if I missed an explanation or two for what was an incredibly odd draft.  James Harden at 3!?!?  Are you kidding me, OKC?  Did you see him play in the [...]

The QC and the Draft

The interesting thing about this draft is that no one really seems to know for sure what’s going to happen after the Clippers select Blake Griffin with the first pick, and there is definite confusion from pick 3 down (most people have Hasheem Thabeet going second).  It should be a suspenseful draft to watch and [...]

Curry and Henderson Workout Footage

Courtesy of the David Arnott at Rufus on Fire.  Arnott’s day job is with Sporting News, and he got the butter job of taping these workouts for the Sporting News NBA blog, the Baseline.  If you follow Arnott’s blog, you know that he’s been critical of Stephen Curry.  Not to put words in his mouth or anything, [...]

Bobs Go Local for First Workouts

The Charlotte Bobcats brought in Davidson’s Stephen Curry and Duke’s Gerald Henderson for the team’s first pre-draft workouts of the offseason.  The two NC college stars were also joined by UNC’s Danny Green, Clemson’s K.C. Rivers, and a couple of other players, but it’s clear that the team is seriously looking at Henderson and Curry for its first round [...]

Late Lottery Thoughts

Ho-hum, the Bobs will pick 12 in the draft.  There was absolutely nothing exciting about lottery night for the home team.  If you’re an irrational fan like me who ignored all the odds and was convinced that we were going to get a top-3 pick, it was downright anti-climatic.  G.M. Rod Higgins said the team [...]

It’s Lottery Night

The NBA Draft Lottery is tonight at 8:30 on ESPN, just before the Lakers and Nuggets tip off the the Western Conference Finals.  If you’re one out of those five rabid Bobcats fans that can no longer watch the NBA after the home team is eliminated, tonight may give you an excuse to turn the [...]

Stephen the Rapper

I’m a little late with this, but I figured I should post it on this blog since it’s already been all over national sites like espn.com and si.com.  A “I Love College” remix Davidson style with a cameo from Stephen Curry and others from the basketball team.  My only qualm with the remix is that they [...]

Can’t Blame Curry

OK, this is the second time in a month that I have had to apologize for my late posts.  It turns out that the final sprint in my law school career was long and hectic, but it is finally over.  Hopefully this will be the last time I will have to apologize for not posting, [...]

Decision Tomorrow

Steph has scheduled a press conference tomorrow at 11:30.  The crazy part about is that he doesn’t seem to have actually made a decision yet!  I have been quite busy the last couple of weeks, so follow 16.8 for updates on the story.  I will try to post my thoughts on his decision as soon [...]

Curry Still Thinking, Decision Coming Soon

The Observer reports that Stephen Curry’s decision whether to turn pro or stay for his senior year at Davidson should be coming pretty soon.  This is not surprising considering Sunday is the deadline to decide.  The interesting part is that Dell Curry was adamant that Steph is still pondering the decision and that he has not [...]
