The 2010 NBA playoffs were the first time the Bobcats entered the playoffs in six years, their opponent was the powerful Orlando Magic, the first game was basically a true reflection of the strength of both sides, in the first quarter, the Magic's starting point guard Jamil Nelson began to fire, he scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting in a single quarter, and finally he scored 32 points and 6 assists on 10-of-18 shooting, and only had 2 turnovers, and power forward Rashad Lewis scored 19 points on 8-of-11 shooting, although Vince Carter did not play well, Only 4 of 19 shots, but the Magic's four muskets from the outside were good enough to shoot the Bobcats off the horse, Gerard Wallace of the Bobcats scored 25 points and 17 rebounds, Raymond Filton scored 19 points and handed out 4 assists on 7-of-14 shooting, the data is good but the personal performance is still not as good as Nelson Jr., Stephen Jackson scored 18 points on 6-of-18 shooting, 9 rebounds, but his turnovers also reached 5, Howard faced Tyson Chandler in this game, Nazel Mohammed, Terrence Thomas and Theo Ratliffe, the block king who was just traded from the Spurs in February this year, took turns to take care of him, and he didn't perform well on the offensive end, scoring only 5 points and 7 rebounds on 2-of-4 shooting, but he delivered 9 blocks in the game, perfectly protecting the basket, and the Bobcats lost 89-98.

In the second game, the Bobcats lost to their opponents 77-92, Jackson scored a game-high 27 points on 10-of-20 shooting, Gerald Wallace scored 15 points, 4 blocks, and 6 rebounds, Nazr Mohammed scored 10 points on 5-of-6 shooting, and no one else scored double-doubles, while the Magic team played at a normal level, the starting five scored all double-doubles, Carter scored 19 points and a team-high score, and Howard scored 15 points, 9 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 blocks and 6 turnovers, and the performance was still not very good.

In the third game, the Bobcats who returned to their home court vowed to win this game, the game whistle blew, the Bobcats players were alive and well in the game as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and the Magic's starting point guard Nelson Jr. went berserk again, he shot 7 of 7 in the first quarter, including 4 three-pointers, and scored 19 points! But with the combined efforts of Jackson, Felton Terrence Thomas and Nazel Mohammed, the Bobcats trailed the Magic by only 2 points at 27:29 in the first quarter, and the Magic offense suddenly short-circuited in the second quarter, hitting only 5 field goals in the entire quarter, the Bobcats seized the opportunity to start a counterattack, and it was Larry Hughes, a spare tire signed by Gerald Wallace during the regular season injury, who contributed 10 points on 4-of-4 shooting in a single quarter, helping the team lead the opponent by 5 points at halftime.

In the third quarter of the game, Nelson Jr. broke out again, he scored 11 points on inside and outside shots, and Steve Jackson responded on the Bobcats' side, who scored 9 points on 3-of-5 shooting against Nelson Jr., and at the end of the third quarter, the two teams were tied at 66. In the fourth quarter, the two teams played more anxiously, three minutes before the end of the game, Raymond Filton completed a three-point shot against Howard, which gave the Bobcats a one-point lead over the Magic at 80:79, and then Lashade Lewis hit the basket in a row to cause Tyson Chandler and Larry Hughes to foul, hit all four free throws, and the Bobcats trailed by 3 points at 80:83! At the critical moment, Larry Hughes shot and caused Vince Carter's foul, and after hitting both free throws, the score was rewritten to 82:83, and Nelson Jr. immediately responded with 2 points, and pulled the score to 81:85! Then the game entered a one-minute countdown, Dio first assisted Filton to sneak under the basket to score 2 points, 84:85, in the last 35 seconds of the game, Nelson Jr. missed the shot, giving the Bobcats hope of overtaking, but unfortunately Stephen Jackson also failed to hit this shot, there were only 24 seconds left in the game, the Bobcats could only foul the Magic players, Carter and Gortat hit all four free throws, In the final 12.7 seconds of the game, Filton failed to shoot the key ball with his last attack, and although Augustin hit two free throws, he was unable to recover, and finally the Bobcats lost 86-90.

In the whole game, Nelson Jr. had a super play, he shot 12 of 21 and scored 32 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals, and what is even more amazing is that he did not make a single mistake in the whole game! Howard had just 13 points and eight rebounds on 4-of-7 shooting, but he had a staggering 7 blocks! For the Bobcats, Jackson scored 19 points on 6-of-18 shooting, Gerald Wallace had 13 points and eight rebounds on 4-of-12 shooting, Felton had 13 points and six assists, and Larry Hughes had 14 points.

0:3 Facing a strong opponent, there is no way back in front of the Bobcats, although the chance of a comeback is relatively small, but now the Bobcats are also fighting for honor, and it is a success to win a playoff game at home this season, but will the Magic give them this opportunity?

In the fourth game, the two teams played a dull game in the first half, neither team had a player to score a double, the Bobcats led by 2 points at 45:43, and the third quarter of the game played the characteristics of the Magic team, Carter, Nelson Jr., Lewis and Barnes took turns volleying on the outside, and the four scored 7 points, 6 points, 7 points and 6 points, and Terrence Thomas on the Bobcats' side suddenly broke out, he scored 8 points in 4 shots in a single quarter to fight against it, but he was helpless, and after the third quarter of the game, the Bobcats were 68: 71 trailed the Magic by 3 points.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Bobcats still failed to play **, but it was the Magic's substitute Michael Petrus who broke out, he scored 10 points in a single quarter to set the tone for the game, and finally the Bobcats lost to the Magic in four consecutive games 90-99, the first playoff trip in the team's history, and left in disgrace.

To sum up, although the Bobcats were shaved by the Magic in this playoffs, they showed super strong interior thickness when facing the Magic's strong center Dwight Howard, under the care of Tyson Chandler, Terrence Thomas, Theo Ratliffe, and Nazr Mohammed. Howard averaged only 9.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game, which was a huge gap from the regular season, so Terrence Thomas was offered a big contract with 5 points and $40 million after this playoffs. Thomas was so happy that he proved to the team's management that they were looking away again.

For Terrence Thomas, the Bobcats paid for the 2010 NBA first-round pick, and the second-round pick was also traded, so the Bobcats did not have a chance to draft any players in the 2010 draft, but they completed a number of large trades involving multiple players, and in September, they sent the injured Tyson Chandler and Alex Atkinsa to the Mavericks, and got the big center Eric Dampier, veteran Matt Carroll and Mexican player Eduak Nahoola, Nahura is 203 cm tall, mainly inside, mediocre physical, and has no ability to attack with the ball, he can survive in the NBA purely by virtue of a momentum that is not afraid of death, so he is at the bottom of the league except for the excellent rebounding convenience in the front court, Matt Carroll returned to Charlotte after a season and a half, at this time he is no longer the courage of the year, no longer the bench bandit of the year, but has become a thorough water cooler administrator, in this transaction, The Bobcats focus on Eric Dampier.

Dampier is 211 cm tall and weighs 120 kg, like most black insiders, Dampier lacks offensive skills, and occasionally can bully and bully when he meets a short and thin person, and he can't dribble, he can only shoot the ball on the inside, and he will definitely be stealed by a small one if he shoots more, but thanks to his height and weight, Dampier can play a big role on the defensive end, and his excellent strength makes O'Neal unable to top the basket, the awareness of rebounding is prominent, and the protection ability of rebounding is good, the most interesting joke about Dampier is " I am the second center in the West", saying that in 2004, Dampier played 56 games in his first season with the Mavericks, averaging 9.2 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, such a performance made Dampier forgetful, in the first round of the 2005 playoffs, the Mavericks vs. Rockets, Dampier made a big fuss, claiming that "the Sharks (Shaquille O'Neal) are the first center in the West, and I am the second center in the West!" The words did not take their all-star center Yao Ming in the playoffs in their opponents seriously, and as a result, after the series, Yao Ming averaged 21.4 points, 7.7 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, shooting 65.5% from the field. Dampier, who averaged only 6.3 points and 6.4 rebounds per game, is not the end, after the Mavericks eliminated the Rockets, he played 6 games in the Phoenix Suns, and the Suns' Amare Stoudemire played the starting center, averaging 28.8 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game in six games, and once again beat Dampier, who averaged only 8.8 points and 3.8 rebounds per game, into a sieve, and the "second center in the West" has since become a laughing stock.

It's just an interesting joke about Dampier, who didn't actually play a game for the Bobcats, and just two months after the trade, the Bobcats cut Dampier, and the Bobcats didn't like Dampier because of his ability on the court, but because he was saddled with a whopping $12.12 million in salary space.

On August 23, 2010, Charlotte Bobcats signed Kwame Brown with a $1.23 million contract, and signed a two-year, $7 million contract with former talented point guard Sean Livingston. Let's talk about Livingston briefly, now he is playing well with the Warriors, in fact, Livingston was a talented high school student in the United States, the name was bigger than Kobe Bryant, and after entering the NBA, he was the representative of the league's tall point guard, on February 26, 2007, Livingston twisted his left knee in a fast-break layup, the text can't describe how terrifying the picture was at that time, if you are interested, go search for the video, and then Livingston went through two years of brutal rehabilitation before he stood on the court again, coincidentally, the opponent of the game in which Livingston was injured that year was the Charlotte Bobcats.

In the 2010-2011 season, the biggest change for the Bobcats came from the coaching staff, the opening 28 games, the Bobcats' record was only 9-19, which made Jordan, who was aiming to get closer to the playoffs, unacceptable, so head coach Larry Brown became the scapegoat, Brown left, Paul Silas took over, Silas had played in the league as a player for sixteen seasons, as a two-meter-tall interior player, his career average was basically maintained at about 10 points and 10 rebounds per game, Lacks offense but good defensive ability, entered the All-Defensive Team five times in his career, and once won three championship rings, Silas was an All-Star in the 1971-1972 season and the 1974-1975 season, and is also a well-known star, after retiring, Silas entered the league management, and began to coach the San Diego Clippers in the 1980-1981 season, and then coached the former Charlotte Hornets, Cleveland Cavaliers, and coached James for two seasons. He was fired by management for not improving his performance, and then spent five years at home, and returned to the mountains in the 2010-2011 season this year to replace Larry Brown to coach the Charlotte Hornets, and before that, Silas had a win rate of 45%, which is far from the win rate of some NBA coaches, such as Rick Adelman's career win rate of 58.2%, Larry Brown's career win rate of 54.8%, Greg Popovich's career win rate of 69.2%, and George Carr's career win rate of 58.9%, Jerry Sloan has a 60.3% win rate and Phil Jackson has a 70.4% career win rate. All in all, Paul Silas is a hard-working manager with limited talent.

In the 2009 offseason, Raymond Felton, the Bobcats' main point guard who has become a free agent, accepted a two-year contract worth $15.8 million from the New York Knicks, thus leaving Charlotte, and Felton played in Charlotte for five years, as of March 15, 2016, Filton represented the Bobcats with 5311 points in team history, 2573 assists ranked first in team history, and 565 steals can be ranked second in team history. The total number of appearances in 399 games is also the second in team history.

Felton wasn't the only major player to leave this season, as the Bobcats made a surprising but plausible trade ahead of the February trade deadline for the 2010-2011 season.
