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