Bulls @ Bobcats Postgame Thread: Noah brings the HUSTLE.. 

Post#1 » by kulaz3000 » Thu Jan 3, 2008 2:21 am

Our defense was really week in the first half, giving up lay ups on a consistent basis. In the second half, Bobcats decided to implode.

Deng was consistent throughout the entire game, made shots, grabbed rebounds, offensive rebounds, and had a stella game.

Gordon did his thing also. I just like his mentality off the bench, he plays loose and he plays with more convinction. Its strange that since he has come off the bench, his three point shooting has increased by quite abit.

Noah's play in the fourth quarter was just contagious for the entire team. Wallace even seemed to be more energized with Noah hustling alongside him. We definitly need to see Noah alot more game in and game out, Boylan you need to find him around 15 minutes a game, and more when he plays like tonight.

We generally played a decent game, but in the first half we almost played down to our competition and in the second half we picked it up, and in the fourth with Noah giving us a boost we took over and played with alot more hustle. We rebounded well, play good offense without turning the ball over too much. We are playing more loose, yet we seem to be making less mistakes. Our defense needs much more tightening up and improvement though, and giving more mintues to Noah will be a great start.

But we've got bigger fish to fry tomorrow night against the Blazers. A win is still a win..

I'll give you teh early sticky.

I'm amused that Stacey King keeps going off about what a big win this is. Beating Charlotte isn't really a 'big' win.

We found a good lineup

Ben
Kirk
Deng
Noah
Wallace

Wouldn't mind seeing it start. Still going to have to do something about Duhon doing nothing as a starter eventually.

Noah needs to play more.

TT just needs to be able to play.

Noah really seemed to give a lift to Wallace in the fourth quarter. It could have been just a once off, but the Wallace and Noah tandem is intruiging.

No more Noc at PF and no more Thabo ever. That's all. Joe, Noah and Tyrus should get 99.9999999% of all PF minutes.

Noah was just great. I'm not going to say much, we started off poorly defensively but we did pick it up slightly. It wasn't a great win but it was still a win.

Noah was great. I'm excited b/c he should get a little more burn now, but man, why was he not given the opportunity earlier?

I love Aaron Gray. He really roughs up the players out there. So much fun to have a guy who knocks around some of these bitches on the court like Gray does. Wallace likes to give a cheap shove and all, but he knew not to go further because he would ahve been horse meat.

Your right Doug, not a big win. Solid yes but tomorrow is a big win. Man I can only imagine the Tyrus/Pax hate if LaMarcus scores anything 20 or over lol.

Maybe playing the young guys isn't as TANKING A SEASON as some people think?

I still hope to see a Noah, TT and Deng front court, it'll be a very good and fun group. Noah's passing with Tyrus' athletic ability and Deng's great slashing and jumpshooting.... only need a very good playmaking PG to really get the most out of them.

Now, who's ready to take on Portland? It's going to be a tough game tomorrow, but with this play we've seen pver the last 4, who's concerned?

Joakim Noah.. I.. I don't know how to describe him..

*Wooooow*

Yeah, thanks Stace. My words exactly. I also really enjoy..

*Pops out at the right side..*

Tom! Dude, the game is over.

*Who won?*

We did Red.

*Oh, great!*

Sure is guys.

Thank you Bulls, for a victory where you came back from being down big. Reminds me of when we used to be good. Play Noah more please.
