Diaw's impact—dramatically improved interior passing—made for 44 points in the lane against the Celtics. But it was more than that; they're sounder and tougher on defense and getting more scoring from different places. Six Bobcats reached double-figures Tuesday.
BOBCATS 114, CELTICS 106 (OT): The defense got five straight stops in overtime against the Celtics and rookie D.J.

Brown: May won't play until he's in better shape
(Tue, 30 Dec 2008 16:56:59 PST)
Sean May feels he's in good enough shape to play. Charlotte Bobcats coach Larry Brown thinks otherwise. So there was May on the inactive list for the ninth straight game Tuesday as his frustration mounts in what's been another disappointing season for the oft-injured former first-round pick.
