    Mucho Grasias Jesus Christ! I had a dream Sam got fired and a warrior on a horse took his place. Fire was everywhere and their was a 2008 Celtics Championship banner burning. Okay, i really didnt but still, thank god they fired that b@stard

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:07 am
    now i can go back to dreaming peacefully about nude Barbie Dolls riding Bunny Rabits while acomplishing GLOBAL DOMONATION!!! (i dont really dream about that either but it is closer than that last thing)

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:11 am
    I am happy as hell right now.

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:11 am
    get me a whooper! trade me a new Power Forward! sign me a new Point Guard! start me a DYNASTY!

    BET, you’ve been missed. If Michael was going to hire a former coach that has ties with Carolina and can deal with a young squad why not go all out and get Dean Smith.

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:19 am
    !

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:20 am
    Dean Smith?! No, he is a college coach and UNC could use him (roy just cant do sh!t for them)

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:25 am
    !!!!!!!!SAM FU(KIN VINCENT IS GONE!!!!!!!!

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:25 am
    PMS!!! PMS!!!

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:26 am
    PMS = Poop My Shoes

    comment #10 on sam vincent getting fired: this move deserves 10 thumbs up!

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:33 am
    11!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we have 11 (eleven) comments about Sam getting fired.

  • Solito Posted: Apr.28 at 10:35 am
    Sam Vincent gone is one thing, but Larry Brown is bad news. Matt Doherty sound good in comparison (to stay in the UNC cult).

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:39 am
    Matt Doherty? He couldnt win a ring with those stacked UNC teams he had (VC, Haywood, Jamison, and others) so why the hell would the Bobcats want anything to do with him? That would acctualy be a step DOWN from Sam Vincent. PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS PAUL SILAS Paul SILAS!!!!!!!!!

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:46 am
    i cant belive i said Matt Doherty could not be hired on comment #13! D’oh indeed

  • Solito Posted: Apr.28 at 10:49 am
    Of course he couldn’t. I was making a point… To bad the Bobcasts have no former players turned TV Analyst… yet.

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:50 am
    15? Nobody else cares?

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:51 am
    Henry Williams is a former player turned tv analyst who is a bobcats fan! he had a horrible playing career but he played

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:52 am
    Its also nice to see Steve Martin (Bobcats announcer not bad actor) and Stephanie Ready (also Bobcats announcer) still on tv.

  • Eboy Posted: Apr.28 at 10:52 am
    I vote BET for successor to Mr. Vincent.

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:53 am
    for all that were wondering, Martin was the deep voiced announcer on TNT yesterday, doing Pistons-76ers and Ready is the light skined lady with a small gap between her teeth who appears like a magician on NBA TV to talk about the Magic-Raptors series

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 10:55 am
    I would be a good choice, i would play a half court press on D, and isolation plays for Gerald Wallace and pick and rolls for Raymond Felton all the time (this is my NBA LIVE stratgey, not sure how it would work in real life)

  • Solito Posted: Apr.28 at 11:08 am
    Step out/doubles would kill your pick and roll. You’ve got no shooter to punish the 3 and 4 for rotating to the post. Except if you are counting on AMO to be healthy (and confident) next year. Then you might be on to something…

  • BxBaller Posted: Apr.28 at 11:14 am
    Stephanie Ready is HOT!!!!

  • riggs Posted: Apr.28 at 11:33 am
    Steve martin a bad actor? BET your cred has gone down (even lower than it was already)

  • what Posted: Apr.28 at 1:03 pm
    I am crackin up right now. I’m sure I’ll feel the same way when Mike Woodson is fired.

  • what Posted: Apr.28 at 1:03 pm
    Cosign BETcats thoughts on Steve Martin the actor.

  • B. Long Posted: Apr.28 at 1:13 pm
    If “Scary” Larry Brown ends up there I fully expect him to either get fired or quit within 2 seasons and MJ taking over as coach and trading for Melo. They will ne known as “Knicks South”.

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 1:39 pm
    BxBaller- If you have mid-level standards then i would agre with that

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 1:40 pm
    B Long, you forever will be known as ‘Idiot North’ for that comment

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 1:40 pm
    B Long, you forever will be known as ‘Idiot North’ for that comment

  • B. Long Posted: Apr.28 at 1:41 pm
    BxBaller: With beer googles on.

  • B. Long Posted: Apr.28 at 1:43 pm
    I’m just saying LB would be a horrible choice. What about JVG?

  • B. Long Posted: Apr.28 at 1:46 pm
    Adam Morrison on JHo’s comments: “Ditto!”

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 1:48 pm
    no, JVG is heading to A-Town because they make Diet Coke their. I want Paul Silas. I now resind my ‘Idiot North’ comment, congratulations on being the first person up in here to make me change my mind. YOu could wind a award for that

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 1:54 pm
    if you guys read my first 4 comments it will explain everything

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 2:00 pm
    j-rich LEAD the NBA in 3pters made, is he a shooter?

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 2:01 pm
    38

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 2:03 pm

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 2:03 pm
    40!!! hooray 40 comments on the firing of Sam Vincent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • B. Long Posted: Apr.28 at 2:05 pm
    Silas got a raw deal in Cleveland so I guess I could cosign that move but the big question is could he coexsist with with MJ looking over his shoulder.

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 2:07 pm
    yeah because the state of North Carolina loves Paul Silas

  • BETCATS Posted: Apr.28 at 2:08 pm
    He already lives in Charolette, so it is a perfect fit

  • Bro. D. Posted: Apr.28 at 2:23 pm
    Isos for Wallace kind of kills the ‘Cats offense. I would kind of like to see him traded for an offensive 4 or 5.

  • Bro. D. Posted: Apr.28 at 2:26 pm
    Dittos on Steve Martin and Steph Ready though. Henry Williams and Martin are pretty funny together. Still miss the G-Man though. Although when Williams kept challenging Ready to 1-on-1 was priceless.

  • Bro. D. Posted: Apr.28 at 2:27 pm
    Though I’d much rather see Silas or Carlisle than Brown, Larry would sadly excite the fairweather fans around Charlotte a lot more.

  • Bro. D. Posted: Apr.28 at 2:29 pm
    Yes I’m a Bobcats fan.

  • Gerard Himself Posted: Apr.28 at 5:26 pm
    Silas!

  • Kevin Posted: Apr.28 at 6:58 pm
    reading Sam Vincent’s deluded comments about his performance as a coach make me feel zero sympathy whatsoever for his firing.. not only was he a terrible coach, he also has an ego and thinks he did a great job or something. i hope to never hear his name ever again.

  • The Promise Posted: Apr.28 at 8:02 pm
    COME TO DETROIT LARRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • B. Long Posted: Apr.28 at 8:23 pm
