Bobcats are playoff bound

   Congratulations to the Charlotte Bobcats for making the playoffs. Their success is a testament to the men who acquired the players, the men who coach the players and to the players themselves. There's nobody in the NBA who plays the way Gerald Wallace does. His style is his; nobody else uses it. And Stephen Jackson is the best player the Bobcats have ever had and one of the best Charlotte has had.

  Those of us who were in the gym when the Charlotte Hornets first made the playoffs will never forget the experience. I remember Larry Johnson talking about Kevin McHale of the Boston Celtics, saying that he and his friends would watch McHale on TV and promise each other that those long-armed moves would never work against them. They worked against the Hornets, Johnson admitted, laughing.

   I wont compare the experience that awaits the Bobcats with the experience of the Hornets. Before the Carolina Panthers, there were the Hornets, and a thing is new only once.

   But the NBA playoffs are new for the Bobcats, and I think Charlotte will respond.

This team really deserves our support. They are playing with power, grace, and hustle. It's a lot of fun watching these games and last night was a nail biter. I hated Bob Johnson but I love this team: Go Cats!

Get over the Hornets. It's like talking about an exgirlfriend when trying to praise your current girlfriend. She dumped you, you got angry because you got dumped, and until you get over it you'll never appreciate what you do have, which is a franchise on the rise that is playoff bound.

thank you Joe. Tom is obsessed with the Hornets. They are history in this town. The Bobcats rule now.
