This is the start. The start of a new dawn. The start of a new beginning. The start of a new team. The Charlotte Bobcats. After being bought by Micheal Jordan, the team seems ready to give its new owner the best team it has had. I have started this Franchise already, and I'm 4-3. I'll give you recaps. I don't have pics though, and probably won't take pictures until the playoffs (If I reach them) because my NBA Live 10 on Xbox has Lazer Burn. Google it. Anyway, it always messes up when I'm hooked up to XBL, so I probably won't do it till then. Here is my roster currently:
Center: Tyson Chandler
Power Forward: Boris Diaw Small Forward: Gerald Wallace Shooting Guard: DJ Augustin Point Guard: Baron DavisHere is the recap of my first game
CHARLOTTE LOSES FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON AT THE CELTICS 84-96!Boston, Mass
The first game of the season wasn't the greatest. Especially against the Celtics.
With everyone in the flow for the Celtics, they rushed on with a 96-84 win over the Bobcats. "We felt like if we shut down Gerald [Wallace] that we had a chance. And we did that." said Doc Rivers.
Wallace only had 12 points and 11 rebounds. The game leading 32 points by Boris Diaw was pretty much all the offense for the Bobcats. The second highest scorer for them was DJ Augustin with 15 points, who also had 15 assists. "It's really frustrating when you come off an amazing season, being the 20 point per game guy, and only have 12 points. This game is going to be stored away in my memory for a while." said Wallace.
The Bobcats poor offense wasn't just to blame for the loss. The Celtics had 5 guys in double figures, who include Pierce, Rasheed Wallace, Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, and Ray Allen. Rondo also had 15 assists. "We did eveything we could to score on those guys when we had the chance. I mean me and Rasheed [Wallace] had 31 rebounds together. We just grabbed the boards." said Kevin Garnett.
The Bobcats were struggling the whole game, down by 20 at one point in the game. They started a comeback, were at one time, only down by 10, but the Celtics overpowered them. The thing that surprised Charlotte the most, was the lack of scoring by others. Larry Brown called out others, saying this may be the last for some players, "You better watch out, we need a secondary scorer, so watch out.
Of course, no one on the Charlotte bench took this as a joke. They know that the old man never lies.

The Bobcats had pulled the trigger on a blockbuster trade.
Chris Brussard of ESPN has expected a deal like this to go through after Charlotte had mysteriously signed 'The Answer'. "They'll probably trade him to a team for a secondary scorer." Baron Davis was "excited" to join the Bobcats. A.I on the other hand was upset that the Bobcats used him as trade bait, even though Micheal Jordan had told him that he was going to be traded, "That's messed up man. Stupid." he said to the media. Larry Brown praised the move, saying that Baron is an unbelievable competitor and will help this Charlotte team make the playoffs. Will we see tempers fly when these two teams face off?
