That's 19.4 pts,9 assists and 3 turnovers game...The team is 4-1 with the only loss by 8 to the Celtics,all of the games without Gerald.I don't really think it's a coincidence.If you remember Raymond started out the season putting up these sort of numbers the first week of the season before the unfortunate incident against the Suns.We can only hope this is a sign of things to come.We're wed to Raymond,if he could finally become a consistent upper echelon PG then there's some hope for this team.Of course it's not like he did this sort of stuff on Southwest Division road trip.Most of those teams are well known for surrendering big numbers to point guards,Bibby has been a sieve most nights for example.

If Raymond and Emeka Okafor can keep this great play up along side Jason Richardson and hopefully a healthy Gerald Wallace, i'm saying this right now...we could definitly get that 8th or possibly 7th spot.

2.5 games back, i mean....it's stiff competition but the Bobcats can't give up, see the problem is, in my eyes is that when Wallace and Richardson are together the team feels obligated to give them the ball the most to score. The team has to keep playing like a team now, and if Wallace screws up the chemistry in his return, hell, don't start him, honestly...this is a hard road to the playoffs and the team has to be at it's best @ all times.

Only took 3 years and 2 coaches to figure out he wasn't a shooting guard. He's been great latly and his emergence is a big part of our winning streak
