Point guard might be the Bobcats' deepest position, yet it's currently the team's most perplexing spot.

Raymond Felton and D.J. Augustin have both regressed from their midseason play nearly a year ago. Flip Murray, a veteran combo guard, is outplaying both of them severely, and coach Larry Brown hinted, following a loss Friday in Milwaukee, that he might shake up the lineup.

"He defends," Brown said of Murray. "And we're more efficient (offensively) with him right now, in my opinion."

Felton and Augustin are anything but efficient right now. They combined Friday to shoot 1-of-8 and finished with two assists, four turnovers and four points.

So a shift, perhaps as soon as Sunday's home game versus the Indiana Pacers, could leave both of them playing off the...

Bucks coach Scott Skiles rarely gives glowing compliments. Even he's having a tough time containing his excitement for rookie Brandon Jennings. "You'd be hard pressed to find a rookie's first 10 games better than this," Skiles said. "Maybe somebody has, but he's had as good a 10-game start as anybody I've been aware of in my 20-plus years in the league."...

Elton Brand reverted back to his All-Star form. Instead of watching the fourth quarter from the bench, the two-time All-Star forward was right in the middle of the action for Philadelphia. Lou Williams' layup with 3.1 seconds remaining lifted the 76ers to a come-from-behind 86-84 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Wednesday night.

Stephen Jackson wanted out of Golden State so badly for so long. When the team finally called to tell him he'd been traded, he already knew. At long last, he got to say goodbye. "I always stay ahead of the game," he said, smiling. "Always." The Warriors granted the disgruntled swingman's wish Monday, trading him to the Charlotte Bobcats in a four-player deal that pairs him...

Rashard Lewis watched several Orlando Magic games on TV this season. When it was finally his turn to play, it took him a while to stop being an observer. After a slow start, Lewis finished with 10 points in his first game back from a suspension, helping Orlando beat the Charlotte Bobcats 97-91 on Monday night.

The Golden State Warriors found a home for the disgruntled swingman Stephen Jackson on Monday, sending him to the Charlotte Bobcats in a four-player deal that pairs him with coach Larry Brown.

The Detroit Pistons' rebuilding plan revolves around Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva. If the newcomers can play like they did Wednesday night against the Charlotte Bobcats, Detroit might not experience the demise many expect from its new-look roster. Villanueva scored a season-high 30 points, outscored the opponents by himself in the third quarter and Gordon had 22 points, eight assists and...

Vince Carter's tender left ankle was aching so much at the morning shootaround he couldn't participate, and Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy ruled him out of Tuesday night's game against Charlotte. Then a wet walk back to the hotel in the middle of the remnants of Hurricane Ida changed everything.

It really wasn't too long ago that Joakim Noah was a rookie clashing with teammates and coaches. Now, John Salmons calls him a "glue guy." Salmons scored 27 points, Noah added a career-high 21 points and had 16 rebounds, and the Chicago Bulls beat the Charlotte Bobcats 93-90 on Saturday night for their third straight win.

For a night, the roles were reversed. The low-scoring Bobcats were suddenly efficient on offense, while the high-scoring Hawks turned in a stinker that led star Joe Johnson to question his teammates. Raja Bell shook off his painful left wrist to score 24 points, Ronald "Flip" Murray pestered his former team with 15 points in his Charlotte debut, and Gerald Wallace grabbed 18 rebounds in...
