Look..I don't want to be known as a Bobcat-hater here. In fact, I wish them the best, I like Okafor, Kapono, and Woods. However, let's be honest. This teams starting line-up will look something like this:

PG: Jason Hart
SG: Gerald Wallace
SF: Jason Kapono
PF: Emeka Okafor
C: Melvin Ely or Loren Woods

Can that team honestly win 10 games this season?

Yes it can. Look at flip murray. There are a lot of promising young players that just need to be given a chance.

Okafor is too good not to win 10 games anyway. Guys like Okafor are winners. He'll have a bad season but i see them as a .350 team, which isn't too bad for an expansion team.

I doubt they win more than 10

They are going to have it tough. I am not so sure Okafor is going to be the immediate contributor everyone expects. He is going to need time to adjust and he is still pretty mechanical. They are going to struggle scoring and Okafor wont be able to do a lot to help that.

They will win more than 10 games, They only way a team could lose only that few games a year would be if they called in the season in an attempt to improve draft chances.

sometimes i honestly think that the bobcats are goin to be the first team ever to go winless in a season (0-82) but then again that seems impossible maybe 8-74...or 12-70

You never know. They are looking pretty bad right now unless a couple of their relatively uknown young guys blow up. But if Orlando can win only 21 games (although it was somewhat a fluke) with Tracy McGrady, Juwan Howard, and Drew Gooden on the team, it is possible Charlotte could win only around 10 games.

No disrespect here, but how can you call yourself a Bobcats fan if you don't even believe that your team can't win more than 10 games?

aZn.JuStIcE · 08-08-2004, 10:57 AM

yea...i agree with pdogg84...i have seen him on many bobcats boards, as i myself have subscribed to many other boards...if you are a true bobcats fan then u will have faith that they can win at least 10 games

I don't know if you guys remember this but the Raptors had this lineup heading into the 1995-96 season:

PG Damon Stoudamire
SG Alvin Robertson
SF Tracy Murray
PF Carlos Rogers
C Zan Tabak

Now, we don't know the final Bobcats' roster so I cannot say its better or worse than the Raptors' was, but I know that they'll bust their tail off with effort. And a young team with effort ought to win at least 20 games. My prediction is that they'll win 28 games.

**texan** · 08-08-2004, 11:22 PM

I predict they win around 18-24 games. Gerald Wallace should have a breakout year and Okafor should contribute right away(numbers around 12-8-2). They are a young, determined team that will go out there and stick it to every team they play. They will def. win mor than 10 games.

Matiz · 08-10-2004, 07:11 AM

That's even a question?
they'll win more than 20 imo, after they'll sign some free agents...

McGrady is greedy and self-centered. We don't have any players like that on our team. McGrady wants to go out and score 35 and 40 points everynight. I've seen games where he would try to do that and they would lose a lot of times.

**texan** · 08-10-2004, 09:48 AM

Gerald Wallace will be after this year.
