Emergence Of The Bobcats 2.0 - A Charlotte Bobcats Association (NBA 2K12)

Long story short, my previous association was corrupted, so looks like I have to start over. If a moderator/admin could delete the other thread, I'd really appreciate it. The link is right here.

2011-12 Season In-Review
The Bobcats finished the 2011-12 season with a disappointing, yet not surprising, 18-64 record, finishing as the worst team in the NBA. As a team in rebuilding mode, they were for the most part uncompetitive. While they aren't guaranteed to have the #1 overall pick, they definitely are in the drivers seat for said pick. With young players like Kemba Walker and Bismack Biyombo, the team can only go up from here, but the question heading into the 2012-13 campaign is will they be able to at least show some sort of competitive spirit.

Bobcats Fire Silas After Abysmal Season
In a not so surprising move, the Charlotte Bobcats have fired head coach Paul Silas after a disappointing 18-64 record. Silas took over the job in the middle of the 2010-11 season after the firing of Larry Brown. The Bobcats went 24-29 under Silas the rest of that season, but just were unable to take that into this past season under him.
