In perhaps the most one-sided game of the entire postseason, the Charlotte Bobcats are trying to claw their way to a win in their series against the Miami Heat. Mind you, they’re not fighting to win the series itself — although that’s the supposed endgame — rather they’re fighting to win just a single game against the team many believe will complete the three-peat this year.

The Heat are a domain force, but they’re not invincible and the Bobcats are going to try and get physical with Miami to try and have any hope possible. We saw that on Wednesday night when Michael Kidd-Gilchrist went to the rim and floored LeBron James in the process.

It’s not as though this is a game changing play, but it at least shows that the Bobcats are trying to be physical in the series. It’s still a one-sided affair, but it’s cute that the Bobcats are trying so hard to puff put their chests and it’s actually pretty promising for their future.
