THE ERA
* The Bobcats Cometh (2005-2010).
* Season: 2009-10
* Game: Charlotte Hornets at Miami Heat
David Walker joins to discuss the first Charlotte Bobcats playoff season which did not get off to the greatest of starts thanks to a rocky relationship between head coach Larry Brown and star player Stephen Jackson. How unexpected was the run to the playoff spot and how did Charlotte respond to having NBA playoff basketball again? We dig into the Charlotte Observer archives and find 5 Rick Bonnell predictions for the franchise. How prescient were they?

Era: Late Hornets (1996-2002). Season/Game: 1996-97, Charlotte Hornets at Denver Nuggets
The Boxscore
Our random boxscore generator, the Bees Machines, delivers an absolute rare gem of an NBA contest. In what would be the best Hornets season by final record in franchise history, the Hornets had an absolute knock out, drag out fight in the Mile High City resulting in an OT game where only 2 points were scored. ONLY TWO! It only gets weirder from there.

Era: Early Hornets (1988-1995). Season/Game: 1993-94, Charlotte Hornets vs. Indiana Pacers
A year after the Hornets won their first playoff series in franchise history in dramatic fashion, the Hive was alive with hope. The entire core of Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Muggsy Bogues and Dell Curry was back and the spectre of Michael Jordan was lifted from the Eastern Conference. The only thing that could hold them back is exactly what did, injuries. Both Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning missed serious time and it opened up other opportunities for players like Eddie Johnson and our guest today Marty Conlon. Marty gives us a window into a Hornets team that was revolutionizing NBA offense but who's season was teetering dangerously on the edge.

Doug brings back a classic bit from an episode of Locked On Hornets that covered this game. Walker takes us down a rabbit-hole about a former Hornet turned Pelican turned desired center. We also try to figure out what the heck happened to MKG and Dwayne Bacon.

Date: November 20, 2010. Era: The Death of the Bobcats (2010-2016). Season/Game: 2010-11, Charlotte Bobcats vs Phoenix Suns
The 2010-11 Charlotte Bobcats season was full of promise off a playoff appearance. The team finally had some talent. Stephen Jackson was a pure scorer with attitude. Gerald Wallace was an All-Star caliber defensive stopper and rim runner. Boris Diaw was motivated and clear-eyed about his role. We look at a game before it all went disastrously wrong for Larry Brown and the team. David A. Arnott, founder of Rufus On Fire gives us more insight into what Stephen Jackson meant to the franchise and the improbable career rebound Boris Diaw had in Charlotte.

Era: The Bobcats Cometh (2004-2010).
Season/Game: 2005-06, Charlotte Bobcats vs Golden State Warriors
A robbery, a car accident, weight gain, a series of unending injuries. These are not typical expansion franchise struggles, but the Charlotte Bobcats were not a typical expansion franchise. We discuss the Bobcats rocky start and the state of the fanbase with Bobcats expert David A. Arnott, founder of Rufus On Fire, what would become the SB Nation blog on the Charlotte Bobcats, now called At The Hive.

2001-02 Season - Game 10 - Hornets at Wizards. Michael Jordan is on a comeback tour and playing well but the Wizards team he chose to join is a disaster to put it mildly.
