The Charlotte Bobcats (18-19) finally beat the San Antonio Spurs at home for the first time in team history. This was a feel good win for a few reasons. They hold the 7th place in the Eastern Conference keeping them playoff eligible. Yes we have a long way to go. I know. The second reason is that the Bobcats have improved to 15-4 at home. But for me the real nugget in this is that Boris Diaw played like this game was important. He has not played like himself this season. Maybe he was hurt. Maybe he misses Raja Bell, maybe he starting to enjoy playing in Charlotte. Who knows! Whatever it is, keep it going. Diaw had 26 points, 11 boards and 2 assists.
Charlotte is 7-3 in there last 10 and have won 3 straight. Stephen Jackson had 16, 7 and 3 and Gerald Wallace had 20, 7 and 3. Flip Murray tossed in 11. Flip could be that shooter that the Bobcats really need. I think LB or MJ is starting to have an effect. I really this is all being driven by Stephen Jackson. This guy has galvanized this team.
Next up Phoenix on Saturday! Get some rest boys.
