Charlotte Bobcats - Mission Improbable?

Dallas Mavericks (28-48) @ Charlotte Bobcats (21-56) - Apr 10th 2013

Dallas have had a terrible season, and are going to miss out on a playoff berth for the first time since the 1999/00 season. Many of their players have had injury problems throughout the year, and they simply haven't been able to put everything together. Against us though, they appeared to have their strongest line-up available for them, and they showed what they could have been able to achieve if health hadn't been an issue. Despite how good Dallas looked, we also looked terrible. Just to compound our misery, Derrick Brown has broken his ankle, and his season is finished.

Final Score: Mavericks 92-75 Bobcats

POTG: Dirk Nowitzki (DAL) - 36 pts, 5 rebs, 2 blk

Notable Mentions: Kevin Garnett (DAL) - 18 pts, 10 rebs, 4 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk

Toronto Raptors (17-61) @ Charlotte Bobcats (21-57) - Apr 13th 2013

With Derrick Brown done for the season, Tyrus Thomas finally got his first start of the season, and did a solid job. We've had Toronto's number all season long, and tonight wasn't any different, and we comfortably won against them.

Final Score: Raptors 99-112 Bobcats

POTG: Kemba Walker (CHA) - 21 pts, 3 rebs, 8 ast

Notable Mentions: Andrea Bargnani (TOR) - 24 pts, 8 rebs, 2 ast
Gerald Henderson (CHA) - 17 pts, 4 rebs, 5 ast, 2 stl
Byron Mullens (CHA) - 16 pts, 8 rebs, 2 blk

Boston Celtics (39-41) @ Charlotte Bobcats (22-57) - Apr 15th 2013

The Celtics have confirmed their playoff berth, but are looking like they'll only be the 8th seed. Even so, they took us down with relative ease in this one.

Final Score: Celtics 101-84 Bobcats

POTG: Arron Afflalo (BOS) - 19 pts, 11 rebs, 2 ast

Notable Mentions: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (CHA) - 18 pts, 6 rebs
Rajon Rondo (BOS) - 13 pts, 6 rebs, 9 ast, 2 stl

Charlotte Bobcats (22-58) @ Washington Wizards (33-47) - Apr 17th 2013

Think our players are already thinking about their summer plans, we were flat all game long, and never deserved anything from this.

Final Score: Bobcats 83-98 Wizards

POTG: Jordan Crawford (WAS) - 32 pts, 10 rebs, 2 ast, 5 stl

Notable Mentions: John Wall (WAS) - 18 pts, 6 rebs, 9 ast, 2 stl
Thomas Robinson (WAS) - 17 pts, 14 rebs, 3 ast
Kemba Walker (CHA) - 17 pts, 7 rebs, 9 ast, 3 stl

Detroit Pistons (31-50) @ Charlotte Bobcats (22-59) - Apr 18th 2013

Last game of a tough, tough year. We wanted to finish on a high, but we couldn't get it done sadly.

Final Score: Pistons 98-92 Bobcats

POTG: Greg Monroe (DET) - 22 pts, 10 rebs, 3 stl

Notable Mentions: Brandon Knight (DET) - 17 pts, 3 rebs, 6 ast, 2 stl
Kemba Walker (CHA) - 17 pts, 4 rebs, 7 ast

So, that's the season done for us. Been a season with many lows, and many growing pains, but the guys have shown fight, determination, and at times have pulled off some real upsets. The win at Miami is an example.

I think it's an acheivment in itself that you managed to get above 20 wins with the team, and not finish in the bottom two.

That said, hopefully either the draft class is a deep one or you get a bit of lottery luck. Would love to see you get a star to build around.

good stuff here...is this league abandoned?
