    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Rookie Emeka Okafor, Gerald Wallace and Brevin Knight all recorded double-doubles for the Bobcats, who have lost five straight and 11-of-12. Okafor had 15 points and 11 rebounds and Wallace 13 and 10, while Knight added 10 and 10 assists.

    Even with some solid individual performances, Bickerstaff still wasn't pleased with his team's effort.

    "There were spurts," Bickerstaff said. "But in terms of pure basketball, like you like to see, it wasn't there. I know why we're not playing, in terms of execution, we just haven't gotten it done in a practice session. Unforced errors hurt down the stretch. I think there might have been three or four cases that we didn't get a chance at the basket."

    The Bobcats shot just 36 percent (32-of-89) in their latest loss.

    In its inaugural season, Charlotte (8-26) has swept Houston and owns wins over defending NBA champion Detroit and Minnesota, which reached the Western Conference Finals in 2004. But the Bobcats have won just once since Christmas.

    "(Losing today) was very frustrating," Wallace said. "We know that we're going to be there every time at the end, but what we don't know is how we're going to finish in the end. That's what frustrating. It's something we have to build on as a team."

    The Bobcats just didn't show up at all this game, this isn't looking good at all. Bobcats really need to step their game up greatly if they don't wanna be there along with NO, because at this rate, they're a lottery team for sure.
