    Bobcats have clinched their first playoff berth in the franchise's young existence, however, how much sweeter it must be for Charlotte to clinch the playoff berth over the Hornets (who once were in Charlotte for anyone who doesn't remember).

    I actually hope they do well as a playoff team, I enjoy watching Augustin and Felton along with Gerald Wallace and Diaw.

    Whoever they play it's sure to be a good series.
    Props to MJ

    Cleveland better hope they don't get the Bobs.

    The Bobs match up well with a LOT of good teams, and have beaten some consistently throughout the year...

    The Captain Jack trade was gold. He's a straight baller even though he's a knucklehead.

    Wasn't it funny when the trade went down everybody thought Jackson was being sent to hell. Well, Charlotte is sure turning into Hell while Golden State is in purgatory.

    What's that supposed to mean? Winning is a curse? You have to start somewhere.

    Charlotte's gonna be a pain in the ass to face. Sure, Orlando will beat them but it's gonna be a physically tough series.

    If there is one team that can upset a higher seed, its the Bobcats.

    That is interesting that they clinched against the Hornets.

    Is there really anyone on here, though, who wouldn't remember that the Hornets played in Charlotte? They only moved in 2002.

    Yeah the Cats beat the Cavs during he 3 game losing streak. They've got size (and debatable) better PGs. They've got size in Chandler and Diaw who are younger than both Big Z and shaq. Plus Raja Bell and Jackson in the backcourt is awesome

    8 years ago? Some posters hadn't even hit puberty 8 years ago.

    Heat won't do much. I mean the talent would indeed allow it, but that coach is a clown. (Spolstra)

    Anyway, I like the 'Cats. I really want them to play ATL so they can put an end to this senseless Hawks hype machine. As long as they have S.Jax...they are SCARY in the playoffs.
