After a day of rest, January 18 came around, marking another hotly anticipated game day for the Bobcats.
Actually, not only were the games against the Nuggets Team on the 16th and the Knight on the 18th scheduled as big games, but so was the upcoming game on the 20th against the Miami Heat.
However, no one expected O'Neal to collapse that thoroughly, nor did they anticipate that the mastermind had already foreseen this scenario and had gotten rid of all the overpaid quality role players he had signed in the two summers before the championship wins, plunging the Miami Heat directly to the bottom of the league with 8 wins and 30 losses, the only team with fewer than 10 wins.
Originally, the Bobcats had three consecutive games broadcast nationwide, but it turned into just two.
