As the old saying goes, something has to give, and it will tonight at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, N.C.
Somebody has to win.
The Bobcats and Wolves enter tonight's game each having lost three straight and eight out of nine. Now, it might be for different reasons – Charlotte is still trying to get their young players to grow up while the Wolves are dealing with a slew of injuries -- but the numbers are the same.
"I think we could switch locker rooms and I'm sure the faces of our tenants would be the same," Charlotte coach Mike Dunlap said. Added Wolves acting coach Terry Porter: "They've already been in our den and won. I'm sure they'll come out with a lot of confidence."
Still, somebody is going to get a streak-busting win tonight.
More streaks? Charlotte has lost 16 straight home games while the Wolves have lost six straight on the road.
We'll see how it goes when the tip finally happens at 7:30.
Porter talked a bit this evening about talking to the team about playing hard through adversity. "We have to worry about things we can control," said Porter, who has gone 2-8 as the team's acting head coach. "And that is going out and trying to play hard, trying to play together, trying to right this ship, get through it."
