- Charlotte Bobcats
Will the Charlotte Bobcats Make the Playoffs?
The Charlotte Bobcats have never made the NBA playoffs. They are hoping that might change this season. While the Bobcats have never been a successful team, they quietly had their best season in franchise history last year, finishing with a 35-47 record.
Meet the New and Improved 09-10
The Charlotte Bobcats went 35-47 in the 08'-09' season - the Bobcats best season since their inception since 2004. The Bobcats really have improved every season they been in the NBA - if this trend continues hopefully the Bobcats will make the playoffs for the first time in 2010. The Bobcats have a very young team - one of the youngest teams in the NBA.
Are the 2009-2010 Charlotte Bobcats a Playoff Team?
The Charlotte Bobcats are an interesting team entering the 09'-10' season. Why is this so? The Bobcats played well at the end of the 09' season and hopefully they can continue their end of the season momentum.
The Charlotte Bobcats are a professional basketball team based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The team plays in the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference in the National Basketball Association. The Bobcats were established in 2004 as an expansion team, two seasons after Charlotte's previous NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets, relocated to New Orleans and became the New Orleans Hornets. The Bobcats play their home games at Time Warner Cable Arena in uptown Charlotte.
Charlotte's NBA Development League team is the Maine Red Claws. The Bobcats were also the brother team of the Charlotte Sting of the WNBA before the Sting folded on January 3, 2007.
The Bobcats are currently owned by Michael Jordan. Robert L. Johnson, founder of Black Entertainment Television (B.E.T.) paid $300 million for the franchise in 2003. However, Forbes currently estimates the team's value at $284 million. On February 27, Johnson announced that he was selling the Bobcats to a group headed by minority owner and basketball operations head Michael Jordan, pending league approval. On March 17, 2010, the NBA's Board of Governors unanimously approved Jordan's $275 million bid to buy the Charlotte Bobcats from Bob Johnson. Jordan takes over the team immediately after serving as a minority investor with the final say on basketball decisions since 2006.
