Chuck Burton / Associated Press When the Celtics were really, really good, the Charlotte Bobcats were one team that inexplicably gave them fits and made them work the whole game. Now that the Celtics are shakier (if, in fact, they are), the Bobcats, who just beat Cleveland in a week in which they blew out other teams, play like they're all up on catnip. It's a weird game. The C's wrecked Charlotte...
Larry Brown said he's never been more disappointed as Charlotte Bobcats coach than he was by his team's performance in a 108-90 loss Tuesday to the Boston Celtics. Certainly they've played this badly before. The difference, Brown said, was their...

Boston held Charlotte to just 7-20 shooting (35 percent) in the opening frame and kept...
We came really close late in the first half to a heavyweight bout between Kevin Garnett and Nazr Mohammed . I've never seen Mohammed mad like that. Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown says he's troubled by the notion that Allen Iverson might have to sign an unguaranteed contract to continue his career with the Philadelphia 76ers.
While Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown is glad the Philadelphia 76ers want to bring back Allen Iverson, Brown called it "troubling'' that the Sixers reportedly are offering only an unguaranteed contract. "That upsets me a little bit,'' Brown said in...
Many people know of Allen Iverson retiring from the NBA. He may be back quicker than anyone could have foreseen. Not only that, but he may be reunited with former team -- Philadelphia 76ers. Philly says they can’t wait to get their old point guard back. “He’s loved in Philly,” Charlotte’s Larry Brown, who coached Iverson with the [...] This post was written by the Super...
The new look Bobcats since the Stephen Jackson trade are 3-1 and on a three game winning streak. If you are a contender and coming into Bobcats arena forget about penciling in a win. If you don't believe me just ask Cleveland and Atlanta. Cleveland was down by 23 at one point and Atlanta lost by 20. Gerald Wallace played the way I thnk he is capable of playing every night if he has someone to play...
That's what ESPN.com is reporting. Young PG Lou Williams is out two months with a broken jaw. Two years ago now-starting PG Jrue Holliday was in high school. Holliday was viewed as a solid developmental project when the 76ers took him in the draft; they didn't envision playing him 35 minutes a game about 5 weeks into his rookie season. Which means that the 76ers have a vacuum at point guard. And reports...
They've installed surveillance cameras, hired armed guards to patrol the parking lot and posted signs telling dope dealers and gangbangers to take their bad news elsewhere. But it hasn't been enough to get the owners of the American Spirit Sports Bar on Northgate Boulevard off the hook. This week, the city of Sacramento filed a nuisance complaint demanding the closure of the northside drinking establishment,...
Stray thoughts on a butt-kicking: -- Larry Brown said post-game that he didn't know previous to this trade how wide Stephen Jackson's skill set is. I've had the same reaction: We all knew Jackson was a scorer and a marvelous...
Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown says he plans to contact Allen Iverson, to try to talk him out of his intent to retire. Don't confuse that with Brown recruiting Iverson to be a Bobcat. Brown has maintained throughout this process...
(By Rick Bonnell, rbonnell@charlotteobserver.com) The more coach Larry Brown trusts his bench, the more the Charlotte Bobcats win. That's what the data show 14 games into the season: Three of the four games in which non-starters played the most minutes coincides with three of the Bobcats' four victories.

Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown is demanding and meticulous. Sometimes that's mistaken for inflexible, and that's not the same thing. Case in point: Gerald Wallace and Tyson Chandler told me Brown has trimmed back the variety of plays he's using...
