Of course this happens on the day on which I'm getting drunk, having a good time, celebrating the New Year and taking some time off from the depressive habit that is watching Bobcats games. Now, I'll probably see every one of their games from the next losing streak.

About to watch the game, will probably post some thoughts afterwards.

For a moment I caught myself thinking that Stacey King is surprisingly bearable. But seen enough he started to get on my nerves. The icing on the cake was that both he and Neil Funk were confused about the Bulls hacking-a-Bismack. They genuinely thought those were just too quick fouls in a row, that their guys are idiots for getting called for their fourth and fifth team fouls and Stacey even said that "he's simply denying the ball, that isn't a foul" while the replay of Gibson intentionally wrapping up Bismack was being shown. Priceless...

I loved how our guards attacked the paint, it was basically the main reason why we won the game. Some beautiful layups and scoop shots were made by Sessions and Kemba.

I was very surprised that Chicago didn't trap our guards on pick-n-rolls in the first half. They were killing them and their bigs kept sagging back towards the basket.

Chicago didn't play a particularly good game on offense, however, I did like our defensive rotations. Everybody seemed to help out and the Bulls players kept hitting two or more guys on penetrations.

Warrick had a very Tyrus Thomas-esque game. That's if we forget that amazing poster dunk, Tyrus hasn't yet attacked the basket that hard in a Bobcats uniform.

I find the fact that we lead almost all game amazing. It's very rare that something like that happens in the NBA, usually every team has ups and downs and will blow a lead sooner or later. Moreover, it happened on the road, at Chicago. I felt like the crowd was absolutely stunned, enjoyed hearing those boos. Imagine how disappointed they were to see their Bulls lose to us just before the New Year's eve.

Loved how Warrick, Biz and Taylor all hurried up to help out Kemba after he crashed after a layup. Chemistry seems to be good. Meanwhile, Turtle seems to be totally out of it. Dude's body language was terrible when all of the players huddled up before the game.

I said "almost" because the Bulls did tie the game at the end of the third. So we were probably in the lead for 47 minutes or something.
