Bobcats start keying up for playoffs.

The Charlotte Bobcats have had a good season and looks like they should make the playoffs.  I have really fallen in love with this team.  I hope Michael Jordan gets the team.   Here is how the Bobcats look now and could look come playoff time:

PG  Raymond Felton--He is a good leader on this team.  His minutes have gone down slightly this year from 37 to 32. So, accordingly his stats have dipped a little.  But he will be more fresh at season's end and make this team go.

SG Stephen Jackson--20pts 5reb 4ast 2st.  And, he makes 1.5 3's a game.  Oh, and he can defend too.  Not too shabby for a second round pick.   He has been rock solid for this team.

SF Boris Diaw--11pts 5 reb 4ast  He does a little bit of everything as well.  He logs in a lot of minutes and is this team's anchor.  You can't leave him open, he'll hit the 3.

PF Gerald Wallace--18pts 10reb 2 ast.  The heart and sole of this team.  He has worked himself hard to become the player he is now.  He is undersized to play inside. But he is doing and causing matchup problems.  He currently has a spained ankle, but that will be fine soon.  He is one of my favorite players.

C  Tyson Chandler--6pts 6reb 2 to.  He has been a dissappointment his last 2 years in the league.  Tons of injuries have slowed him down.  His size and athletisism cause a lot of problems for opponents.  He is working his way back from injury.  I just don't know how effective he is going to be in the playoffs.

PG DJ Augustine--6pts 1reb 2 ast.  He is healthy this year which is great.  He is not shooting it as well as last year.  But, he doesn't need to just yet.  With the others on the floor he doesn't have to score.  This is only his second year and he is still growing.  He is a very good guard to have as a second option.

SF Stephon Graham--He has started the last 2 games for Wallace averaging 15pts 7reb. He is a nice bench player.

C Theo Ratliff-- 3pts 2 reb 2 blk.  This guy has filled in nicely with all the injuries they have had inside.

C Nazir Mohammad---A solid defender inside.  He hasn't played in over a month due to a bad back. He is getting closer to coming back.

Overall this team is fun to watch and is good.  If they can get healthy inside, they could cause problems and make some noise in the playoffs.  Seeding is going to have a lot to do with it too.  They can't finish 7th or 8th and face Orlando or Cleveland.  But a 6th or 5th place finish could put them against Boston or Atlanta, whom they will have a shot at.
