That Noah is 2nd on the team in assists and Boozer is 3rd says a lot about our wing play, aside from Rose.
Bobcats are having a bad season. That being said, they scare me, at home. We play down to our competition. TT will keep Rose from doing his thing sometimes. They have enough talent to beat anyone on a given night. Korver has to snap out of his slump, and Deng has to play much better on the road than he as so far.
Should be nice and easy, but as Tina Turner sang, "We never ever do nothin' nice and easy." I'll take a road win with no injuries however I can get it.
Asik negates Tyrus. Seriously (at least, while he's out there). But aren't the Bobcats 5-1 since Silas took over (heard that on the Score, so...)? Boozer's the kind of strong, crafty scorer that makes a living off of Tyrus. I'd like to see Ronnie play over 30 minutes, Korver over 10 and Deng under 40. Go Bulls!
Stephen Jackson is on a tear, and if he played all season as he is now, he'd be an all-star. During the broadcast on Monday, the Charlotte announcers were speaking about how they were looking forward to tonight as a measuring stick. None of that sounds particularly good to me. Let's just hope talent wins out and the Bulls are able to grind out the W.
Rose needs to start playing like he did in December, he hasn't been the MVP candidate people were talking about as of late
I love the way Rose steps up when he needs to! That being said, I would love for someone like Boozer or Korver to hit the big shot every now and then! Depending on one guy brings it's risk.
