Midterm grades

Steve Aschburner of SI.com gives the Bobcats a C+. I think that's fair. Thoughts?

Charlotte Bobcats: With 10 victories in the last 17 games, Larry Brown is starting to get results from a team that is retooling on the fly. But only the Lakers have played as few road games as Charlotte's 17 -- and the Bobcats haven't built up quite the same cushion at home. Rookie D.J. Augustin has turned Raymond Felton into trade bait. Grade: C+

I don't agree actually. If you compared us to when we started this year or when we finished last year, it's like night and day.

Right on.

I give us an A- so far. DJ Augustin has proved to be at least in the top 3 of his class so far. Our trade with Phoenix will turn out to be one-sided. While I loved Dudley's work ethic, I am not sad to see Richardson gone and we got 3 quality players in return. Bell is playing with renewed enthusiasm; Diaw sees this as his time to shine. Okafor, Wallace and Felton are flourishing with a passing big that spaces the floor much better for us. I may be biased about Sean Singletary but I have had my eye on this dude since his freshman year at Virginia. He's got the passion and skills to be a dominant PG in this league if he has talent around him. He lead that Virginia team to many more wins than they deserved because of his sheer athleticism and desire. Getting rid of Carroll and Hollins is incredible, they were ghosts on the court anyways. Diop and Juwan Howard has bolstered our bench greatly. I thought Brown was waiting until Feb. 6th to pull another big trade b/c that's when Bell/Diaw/Singletary would become available but I don't know anymore... I like what I see so far.

of course we are, but this isn't just judging the new look team, its on the whole first half of the season. In that aspect A c of any sort is a good grade with the start this team had. If you want to grade the new look team, i'd give them a B overall with loads of room for improvement.

    • It didn’t feel like we’re the Bills bc we’re not a consistent conference contender yet we’re a rebuilding team. But with the game on the line we played just like the Bills went straight down the field and scored a tuddy then converted a 2pt conversion I have to give credit where credit is due. And the chiefs played us like we were the Bills in an AFC championship game, drive down the field and kicked a walk off FG to win at the end very similar to me. Are saying our defense stunk yesterday? Vs an elite offense team with elite coaching an elite QB man idk what you want them to do. KC does these things to the best defenses in the league consistently to win AFC chips and Super Bowls let’s not devalue who they are. I saw us play KC to the wire and barely lose defense did its thing as much as it could. Bingo!!! We’re also forgetting how injured we’ve been defensively this year, yes we need to build up the D but adding a few pieces and D Browns successful rehab should make us a very strong unit again. Couple that with the offense we saw yesterday and we’re winning our division.
    • Canales deserves a lot of credit. I'm very pleased. He's definitely making strides with Bryce. I also think some of his lack of commitment to Bryce as the starter is to motivate Bryce. I think he liked what he saw when Bryce was benched.  Even the Defense looks tremendously better with just a couple more pieces getting healthy. Wonnum has made our pass rush viable again.  I would love to see this team with one more good player across the defensive front, DT or an edge rusher.  
    • I didn’t see any limitations yesterday
