Bobcats schedule pretty reasonable. Longest road trip 5 games late-Dec to early Jan. Starts in Atlanta, ends in Sacramento.

No Bobcats games Dec. 24-26

no national tv appearances other than vs Knicks at home on Fri Nov 8 and vs Bulls at home on Sat. Jan 25.  All Home games at 7pm except the MLK day game at 2pm and closing night at 8pm.  No respect in the schedule making despite our improvements.   We always seem to be at home closing night though.

When is our first preseason game?

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Preseason games haven't been released yet.

 

However, according to StubHub we are playing the Heat in Kasas City, Missouri for some ungodly reason.

We'll get some nationally televised games in the playoffs. ;)

We'll get some nationally televised games in the playoffs. ;)

i hope we don't haha.    But yeah because they will be the heat vs bobcats.   Hawks pacers ended on nbatv most of the time.

[bLACKpANTHER]

get ready--

 

i just did a quick W-L going down the list and have us going 43-39

i then factored in the "homer-rule" and flip-flopped 10 wins for losses and came up with a 33-49 record

 

that is improving +12 wins from last year.. reasonable??

 

this would result with us picking  around the #10 - #11 in the lottery

[ZB1224]

30 wins or so certainly isn't unreasonable to think about. I hope that we only win 30 or less games and have good luck in the lottery, though, because I do not want to be a treadmill team. However I do want us to show major improvement this season (especially MKG and Biz), and build upon that while adding a top player from the 2014 draft. Pretty much my dream scenario. 

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Everybody hoping we lose needs to just go away. Its fuging annoying. Who cares about the lottery. Oh its been amazing to us so far
