Dare I Say it? The Charlotte Bobcats Don’t Suck?

It may seem strange to say. No—it is strange to say, but it is either true or one of the most elaborate schemes in the history of the world.

The Charlotte Bobcats don’t suck.

The team that set a new low for single-season winning percentage last year could not find a win if they were playing themselves last year. How the team got the handful of wins they did get was a mystery. They had a lot of raw talent, but they didn’t seem to know how to craft it and transform it into solid basketball team.

Enter a new head coach and a roster turnover and the Charlotte Bobcats barely look anything like they did last year. Heck, the team even redesigned its uniforms! For what it’s worth—it all appears to be working too.

Kemba Walker’s jumper Wednesday night with less than a second to go set the stage for something that the team had not seen in a very long time. It gave them a win, 89-87, but not just any win. It’s their third in a row.

Charlotte hasn’t won three in a row for nearly two seasons (about 20 months).

I know the team could still nose dive from here, but for now they are 4-3—they have a winning record! They have a young team that is only going to get better from here. Personally, I was unsure about Jordan hiring Mike Dunlap, but he appears to be getting the job done.

Going forward I hope the team is able to continue to build off their early success. There are few things that are more exciting than a team rising from the ashes.
