BOBCATS FACE THE CHAMPS FIRST

   They say, "the tougher they are, the harder they fall."  And, "when the going gets tough, the tough get going."  Well.. the Charlotte Bobcats will face one of the toughest teams in the league when they go against the #1 East seed Miami Heat on Sunday at 3:30 pm EST, live on ABC TV.

   You could also be right in saying that the Bobcats are also tough.  They've been on a streak lately, passing .500 and not looking back, winning games in a row, and eight of their last nine. They finished the regular season a respectable 43-39.  Granted, in that streak, they beat possible weaker teams like Philadelphia and Washington twice, and Cleveland, but they also beat Atlanta and Chicago.  In contrast, their opponent, the Miami Heat, have lost five of their last six games.

  We will cover the Bobcats playoff series with Miami, with posts on each game with highlights and commentary.  Hopefully, our team will give a good showing.  I'm not making a prediction of an upset.. not just yet.
