Davis stays dropping dimes . Looks like you have a pretty good team if you're beating teams like Orlando and Portland.

BLAKE GRIFFIN NAMED NEW STARTING CENTER


Blake Griffin has been named starting center after Tyson Chandler, the old starting center had been struggling and Blake had been rising up. Coach Brown said, "Tyson had been doing a good job, but since we got Blake [Griffin], he's shown why he was the number one pick. I hope this will help out team rise." ESPN insider Chris Brussard says that he thinks it's the end for Tyson in Charlotte. "He has one year left, and he had a 14 million dollar contract, I think the best is for Charlotte to let him go." How will Blake Griffin do in his first start? And will this be the end of Tyson Chandler Bobcat Era?
