Game 26: Bulls vs. Bobcats

[King Taharqa]

Seems like an eternity since the Bobcats got a win. The pressure is gonna continue to build on LB to win some games. I liked what I saw last night from Diaw, he gives us versatility and a nice presence in the front court. He also takes a big load of Okafor to score and rebound. The Bulls arent a great ballclub so hopefully we can take this one at home. GO BOBCATS!!!

down 3 at the half....Howard started, and has 6 points and 4 boards at the half....Diaw is playing well, while Bell struggles to get on track......Felton and Augustin both having good games, as are Hollins and Emeka

Wallace isnt playing....no idea why, injured im sure, but maybe there i a trade in the works and they dont want to risk an injury...anyone have the scoop?

Gerald's grandmother passed last week and his father passed a few days later. He's attending his father's funeral right now. Im sure everyone here at the Huddle's prayers are with G-Force and his family.

Looks like it was a good game...

Looks like it was a good game...

yeah, i wish i had seen the whole thing, but the end was awesome, DJ hit some very ckuth free throws down the stretch

he was fouled taking a three and made them all to tie the game

we really look better, and thats with Bell only getting 8 minutes before he was ejected, and Howard hardly playing in the second half

i honestly dont think we should trade Diaw, he looks like a huge upgrade at the 4

[merchman567]

how sick is it to see dj hit 13 free throws. He hit 3 in a row at the end of the 4th to tie. Talk about clutch!

[Kurb]

again

Despite the horrible record, looks like the TEAM is getting better.

Could really have a player with DJ.

Could Felton be a solid 2g in the league?

The biggest problem I've seen his how Larry is doing his lineups/subs. Wallace being taken out of the game at the end is dumb, but it could be he was tired. Putting guys like DJ to guard SF/PF's is just stupid too. I'm liking Diaw too. I honestly think DJ needs to start and play a ton, he's our closest thing to a scorer right now, Bell can come off the bench.

Once Gforce gets back and our guys play together some more, I think we'll start winning some more games. Diaw is playing great, I think he's showing people they were wrong about him, he's a fast big guy and passes very well.

Boris Diow has been better than advertised, and Raja Bell has been worse. I think Raja knows the clock is ticking on his career and wants to play on a contender. He hasn't had nearly the impact on this club in the defensive end that I thought he'd have considering he was a big piece in the trade that sent a proven 20 point guy to the Suns. If Jared Dudley pans out, we got curb stomped in this deal. The club needs to be patient and draft a big this offseason that can have an impact beside Okafor instead of trying to pay the price via trade for one. Diow is a good enough starter for this team right now, but I doubt he'll be on this team when this team is trying to make the playoffs unless he's a reserve.

Alexis Ajinca was a shot in the dark that missed, IMO. Can't fault them for trying it but the kid is just stick and bones and doesn't seem to have the mean streak to make it work in the more aggressive NBA game.

Alexis game into the Detroit game and had great defense, and he hasn't had much opportunity to do anything, so to say he was a miss, well, you can't, cause we haven't seen enough of him. Everyone knew he was a project and he needs some weight, but he can shoot very well and has nice length, so it'll take a bit of time to get him ready. A lot of people thought he wouldn't even be here this year that he'd be in Europe, so....

Looked like a phantom foul to this biased fan, but whatever.

Keep an eye on Rose, he had a crappy game against the Bobcat, but he will be a star in the Association one day.
