OTHER PERSPECTIVES: Queen City Hoops

PREVIOUSLY, THE CHARLOTTE BOBCATS...beat Oklahoma City 100-92 on Wednesday night. It was Charlotte's sixth win in seven games, a streak which includes wins over both the Lakers and the Magic. The Bobcats, however, remain a terrible team on the road, winning just 10 of 34 away from home so far this season.

The Hawks and Bobcats have split their previous two meetings this season with the home team winning both games. The Bobcats won in Charlotte 103-83 on November 6th. The Hawks won 103-89 in Atlanta on January 22md.

Consider this an open thread for all pre-game, in-game, and post-game (but pre-recap) thoughts.
