The Charlotte Bobcats went 35-47 in the 08'-09' season - the Bobcats best season since their inception since 2004. The Bobcats really have improved every season they been in the NBA - if this trend continues hopefully the Bobcats will make the playoffs for the first time in 2010. The Bobcats have a very young team - one of the youngest teams in the NBA. The Bobcats played some of their best basketball towards the end of the season, this gave fans of the Bobcats hope that there are just a few steps away from making the playoffs for the first time.
Head Coach Larry Brown is an all-time great coach who has turned around teams before and made them playoff worthy - this could be Brown's toughest challenge to date. What gives the Bobcats some advantage is that they play in the Eastern Conference. The lower quality teams in the East are not as good as the lower quality teams in the West - therefore, the Bobcats are fortunate they play in the East.
The Bobcats in the 08'- 09' season were a pretty good team at home, 23-18 - but the road record is what prevented them from making the playoffs, 12-29. If the Bobcats can maintain a good home record like a season ago and improve their road record, they will be close to a .500 team.
One of the questions the Bobcats will have to answer is who is their go-to man. When the game is on the line who will the Bobcats give the ball to in order to make something happen. F Gerald Wallace averaged nearly 17 points per game last season and will need to continue to do so this season. The future overall for the Charlotte Bobcats looks bright - with Michael Jordan as owner, that doesn't hurt much either.
