ROTATION: Starters -- G Raymond Felton, G Jason Richardson, F Gerald Wallace, F Emeka Okafor, C Nazr Mohammed. Reserves -- G Matt Carroll, F Jared Dudley, G Earl Boykins, C Ryan Hollins.
PLAYER NOTES: --Coach Sam Vincent appears to be settling in on using rookie Jared Dudley as a starter. It makes the Bobcats somewhat small, but finding Dudley minutes the rest of the season will pay dividends in the future.
--After several games of disappearing offensively, Emeka Okafor hit his first five shots and finished with 19 points and nine rebounds.
--Gerald Wallace has been asked to concentrate more on defense the rest of the season with Jason Richardson carrying the primary load offensively. A big steal against Seattle, combined with his tough defense on Kobe Bryant on Wednesday, shows he's adapting to what his team needs.
--Jason Richardson won the Seattle game with his free throw shooting. A notoriously shaky foul shooter, he was 7-of-8 from the line.
