Bobcats Swept Out Of First Playoff Appearance, Could Lose Coach As Well
Posted: 26th April 2010 by Austin Penny in NBA
As quickly as the Charlotte Bobcats entered their first playoff series in franchise history, they found themselves on the outside looking in.
After a 99-90 loss on Monday night in Charlotte, the Bobcats became the first team knocked out of the playoffs and solidified their place as the only playoff team to fail to win a game.
The Bobcats are the eighth team that head coach Larry Brown has guided to the ...

Charlotte Bobcats: A Big Man and a Few Road Victories Shy of Contention
Posted: 30th December 2009 by Austin Penny in NBA
Coach Larry Brown has the Charlotte Bobcats as close to competitors as they've been since their inception before the 2004-05 season.
Although the Bobcats' 12 victories through their first 29 games only has them on pace to post a win total in the low 30s (like they have in each of the past three seasons), there is more solidarity among the team and cause for hope among the fans.
A major reason ...
Carolina Panthers Will Suffer Consequences for Disappointing Season
Posted: 2nd December 2009 by Austin Penny in NFL
I'll be taking the stairs today, as the elevator is out of order.á I'm not sure when it will be fixed and nobody seems to be able to give me a timetable either. Instead of taking the approach I've taken after (almost) every other Panthers game this season, highlighting the ups and downs of the team's performance, I'm going to take this time and space to start the discussions ...
The Carolina Panthers Use ‘Controlled Chaos’ to Clip Falcons
Posted: 17th November 2009 by Austin Penny in NFL
The Carolina Panthers may have finally found a formula for success in 2009: Chaos.á Steve Smith called the Panthers' no-huddle offense they displayed on Sunday "controlled chaos," saying that the fast paced ever-changing game plan kept the Falcons' defenders guessing all afternoon.á Jake Delhomme handled the two-minute like offense masterfully, as he usually does and completed his third straight game without a turnover.á Speaking of Smith, the frustrated wideout caught ...
The Carolina Panthers have not had the type of season they planned on having after going 12-4 and winning the NFC South Division title last year.
Through the first half of the season, the Panthers sit at 3-5, already having eclipsed their loss total from 2008.
The second quarter saw improved play from the Panthers, especially on defense and in the running game. The Panthers were ranked first in ...

Bobcats’ Player Of The Week For November 1st-8th: “Crash” To The Boards
Posted: 10th November 2009 by Austin Penny in NBA
Gerald Wallace could arguably be the best expansion draft pick ever.á The Bobcats are now in their sixth season, and Wallace has been a staple in the starting lineup since the beginning.á His over-the-top style of play and reckless abandon for loose balls has earned him the nickname "Crash" among teammates and fans alike.á What better way than to kick off the 'Player of the Week' column than with a ...
The Elevator: Panthers Lose Game, LB Davis in New Orleans
Posted: 9th November 2009 by Austin Penny in NFL
The Carolina Panthers aren't nearly the team they were for the first three weeks of the 2009 season.á They are far removed from the dreadful 0-3 start and the horrible play calling that doomed them to it. With that being said, the Panthers are also a long way from being the team that went 12-4 and captured the NFC South title last season.á The Panthers traveled to ...
The Bobcats had a light workload this week, playing only one game and getting three days off between contests.á Charlotte touts a 2-2 record despite being the most inept offensive team in the NBA, averaging only 79.8 points per game.á
They also bring up the rear in field-goal percentage and three-point percentage, shooting just 36% from the field and an abysmal 17.9% from downtown.á
Not all is bad in Charlotte, though, as ...
