^ My friend Amber. The Bobcats games are alot of fun and the dancers are a big part of that.

Beat the Mavericks 101-97 in OT.  Kidd-Gilchrist had 25 pts and 12 boards.

Too early to tell if they are a good team, but without question they are improved over last year.

It was an amazing game...effort was superb.

All you Charlotte haters can go ahead and suck it

They certainly aren't going to be "good" but I agree they're definitely better than last year.  They need to get lucky in the lottery this next year or the year after.  And stay in solid position with respect to the salary cap.  Once the more punitive measures start hitting, the Bobcats could be in a good position to pick up some more expensive players for short-term deals.

then they can repaint the floor......

I'll take that bet and laugh at your ignorance.

All over the Wizards at the beginning of the 3rd.

Cats Win!! 3-3 woohoo.

wtf really?

Almost half way to last seasons win total in just 6 games, Cats are looking better and better

I am yet to get an answer to the weird (non) TV arrangement in the Raleigh market....

I live in eastern Wake county...and have DirecTV. However, the Bobcats games are NOT on FSN--Carolinas or FSN--South (WHY?), but instead are on SportsSouth. When I tune to SportsSouth, it tells me the games are blacked out on that channel. Is there some kind of FSN alternative channel on DirecTV that would have the games? Right now basically, there are no viewing options for Bobcats games...even on the off chance I wanted to watch them. What gives? Anyone?

Seems like I remember hearing the NBA has some kind of weird territorial blackout rules...but it's crazy for the team to try to build a market share in Raleigh and have the games blacked out. Makes no sense.

I'd love an answer to this also.  Heck, last week their game with Dallas was the game of the night on NBA TV and it was still blacked out.  wtf?

^It's utterly ridiculous to have a 'blackout' when there are literally no options to watch the games. But apparently the games are available on TWC on FSN alternatives for at least parts of the Raleigh market...and TWC doesn't even carry SportsSouth!

So DirecTV carries the network...and the games are blacked out. TWC doesn't carry the network...and the games are available on alternative channels.

Just seems like a complete TV cluster**** for Bobcats games.

If you had Time Warner you would be fine. Apparently DirecTV is not showing the Cats outside the 100 mile radius of Charlotte.

I found this post on a message board about this very issue:

^Thanks for the info!

ah...so there is a ******* match between the Bobcats and DirecTV that is at the root of this. Should have known. But I don't understand the '75 mile' stuff. Is that an NBA rule about 'local TV', or is that something DirecTV made up or what?

My understanding is that it is a decision DirecTV made on their own. It really is ridiculous that folks in North Carolina that want to watch the Cats can't.

^I don't understand how DirecTV can make up arbitrary boundaries (ie 'within 75 miles') where they will show the games and where they won't if they have an agreement to carry the channels that show Bobcats games.

That being said, the Bobcats should do whatever it takes to get maximum TV coverage in the state if they care about building a statewide following like the Hornets had. Of course, they also have to get a lot better for that to happen too.

Nice game last night, granted against the John Wall'less wizards, but that same Wizards team took the Celtics to the wire twice(guess that is not saying much so far either). Kemba is getting better it seems, even though he was under the weather last nite put up a nice game. Mullens didn't shoot well but played hard. Sessions was aggressive and provided some scoring, MKG played with lots of energy as usual. I think the team fed off him on both ends of the court, and he is really good in transition...something that we've been lacking for a while. Sessions, Gordon, MKG, and even Jeff Taylor are nice additions. ab

Tyrus Thomas seems to be reborn as well playing with lots of fire.

Only thing I wish is to see a bit better play out of Biyombo, he's still a baby, but it would be nice to see him make some progression, he still seems awfully confused out there at times.

Should be a tough one against Minny tonite, but maybe we have a shot with them being without Pekovic.

I kept flipping back and forth between the Cats and the MSU-KU game and everytime I flipped to the Cats their lead was increasing.  They should win tonight too to go, dare I say, 4-3.

Cats Win! 4-3

Kemba bails out the Cats with the game winning step back shot.

KEMBA WALKER ladies and gents!

I think the individual teams and not the league as a whole requires cable and satellite providers to pay for the rights to broadcast the Bobcats...

On the cable side, the Bobcats have never tried to work a deal with Charter Communications who has a large footprint in Western North Carolina and Upstate SC. I've even heard that people as close as Mooresville NC and Lancaster SC (non TWC cable areas) also don't have the Bobcats games shown.

I have always been under the impression that Time Warner Cable arrangement was a condition that was set in exchange for naming rights to the arena.

That was one reason why I was happy that I dropped Charter and got Directv...and BTW, I am farther than 75 miles away and can get them.

Bobcats beat undermanned Minnesota in an ugly game, but a win is a win and that is three in a row for a team that only won seven games last season. Walker and Sessions are making the Bobcats look respectable

It must be the fact that I'm not hard to please...but geez, I would be willing to break out the jiz mop to clean up after all 6 of them.

Another good win.  Bobcats are undermanned a bit also.  With Gerald Henderson and Ben Gordon out.

Lets Go Cats! They are racking up on wins against banged up teams, but hey that's way better than last year! Kemba is the man and Sessions has been great so far.

I'm frustrated too, I have DirecTv and live in Johnston County...can't get the Cats games. And like someone said earlier, even if I paid for the league pass I couldn't get them because they will be blacked out because of local tv. And then they are blacked out on the local channel! So basically no matter what package you get or how bad you want to watch the Cats, it's impossible with DirecTv.


What year is this?!

I don't understand the lockout rules, but I watched the game on Sports South on DirecTv and I live in Harrisburg.  Channel 651 (or 650).

Cats almost blew it.  In fact, tried to blow it.  I mean, who calls a timeout with no timeouts remaining?!?!  <insert michigan joke here>.  16 point lead with 4 minutes to go or so and the T-puppies tied it up at the end.  Thank goodness Kemba is playing like the UConn Kemba.

No way in hell they are the same girl ......... look at the tight bod on the one you call butter face. I know different strokes for different folks but I think your monitor must be jacked up. That little girl is fine and there is absolutely nothing wrong with her face.

I don't know. "Butter face" has an imperfect naval.

In addition to their TV rights being completely screwed up, the Bobcats also are an epic fail with their radio "network" (and I use the term loosely), which has NO affiliate in the Raleigh Durham market.  THat's right, they couldn't even find some AM station powered by an EZ-Bake Oven light bulb to carry their games.  And they wonder why they have ZERO fan base in the State's second-largest and fastest growing media market?

The people running the Bobcats make Lee Fowler look like management consultant material...

Bobcats get frontcourt help with Hakim Warwick joining the team tonight against Memphis. Dont know if Gordon is back yet , anyone else heard anything? 

Charlotte is playing the hottest team in the league in Memphis, maybe the Grizzlies will be a little tired after that tough win over the Knicks last night.

Gordon is back now. Report from Rick Bonnell that Gordon was a shootaround this morning.
