The Bobcats just didn’t play well enough to win last night plain and simple.

Stephen Jackson had another solid game for the Bobcats last night with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. Flip Murray pitched in with a solid game off the bench scoring 17 points, grabbing 5 rebounds and dishing out 6 assists. The Bobcats are now 3-9 on the year.

The Bobcats just didn’t have quite enough firepower on offense last night to beat the Sixers in Philly. Stephen Jackson was outstanding for the Bobcats last night finishing with 26 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals. Gerald Wallace also had a decent game with 11 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals. Flip Murray only shot 4 of 11 from the floor last night as he finished with 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists. The Bobcats are now 3-8 on the year.

The Bobcats shot 50.7% from the floor last night but it just wasn’t enough to beat the Magic in Orlando. Flip Murray led the way for the Bobcats with 31 points and 2 steals in 34 minutes off the bench. Boris Diaw also had a solid game with 21 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals last night.

The Bobcats are now 3-7 on the year.

The Bobcats have acquired 31-year old SG/SF Stephen Jackson and 24-year old PG/SG Acie Law from the Warriors for 33-year old SG Raja Bell and 28-year old forward Vladimir Radmanovic. Jackson will bring offense to the Bobcats and they are in dire need of it. He played in 9 games (all starts) for the Warriors this season and he averaged 33.3 minutes, 16.6 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.6 steals per game. Jackson has now played in 608 games (517 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 32.5 minutes, 15.5 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.3 steals per game. Jackson has flown to Orlando and he will play against the Magic tonight for the Bobcats. Acie Law played in 5 games (0 starts) for the Warriors this season and he averaged 13.2 minutes, 6.2 points, 0.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 steals per game. He has now played in 116 games (7 starts) in his NBA career and he has averaged 12.9 minutes, 3.7 points, 1.0 rebound and 1.8 assists per game. The Bobcats wouldn’t have made this trade without Law who they think has a nice upside as he was a former first round pick of the Hawks.

Raja Bell has been banged up this season as he has a partially torn ligament in his wrist which could require surgery at some point this season. He played in 5 games (all starts) for the Bobcats this season and he averaged 31.4 minutes, 12.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game. Radmanovic played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Bobcats this season and he averaged 16.6 minutes, 4.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game.

The Bobcats have had such trouble scoring points that this was a good risk as Jackson is a good offensive player. Getting Law back in this trade was a cherry on top of the cake for them. The Bobcats won’t miss the gimpy Bell or the overrated Radmanovic.

The Bobcats only shot 36.6% from the floor last night and it killed them in the end. Boris Diaw led the way for the Bobcats last night with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Gerald Wallace (12 points, 8 rebounds, 1 assist) and Raja Bell (11 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists) both pitched in offensively for the Bobcats last night. The Bobcats are now 3-6 on the season.
