we need a win big time, losing 4 in a row really hurts

[ziggy]

I'm hoping that Chicago's problems continue at least through tonight's games. We don't want them to get well playing us.

This is the perfect game for the Bobcats to get back on the winning side of things.

Also this will be on WGN tonight.

I'm pretty excited for this game. We have a chance to bounce back against a quality team that has their usual slow start. I see Okafor having a big game, and I hope that Tyrus Thomas doesn't light us up like he does in the preseason.

We need this game BAD! Crash, Richardson, and Felton all have big games as we cruise to a 101-94 victory over the Bulls.

From the starting 5 on each side, I think they all cancel out. I think the J-Rich vs Ben Gordon match up will be the telling difference. One of them will get hot, and other will struggle. the other difference will be who's Bench comes thru tonight. I actullly think the difference in the game will ultimately gome down to the point production from the Bench. This is in Chicago, so too close to call.

We are coming off a 4 game losing streak, and we really need to turn it around. The Bulls just won a game after their very own 4 game losing streak, but IMO I think we can win this, and I think we need to win this, 2 games under .500 would be terrible for us, even if it's early on in the season, Chicago is still struggling, and we need to make them continue to struggle.

I think felton has a real good game tonight with 21 pts 9 ast, while Wallace scores 24 of his own. Okafor will get 13 and 14 rebounds, and JRich will still somewhat struggle with 16 points. In the end though I think it'll be enough to win. We win 111-104...

The Catz will win, if they make their free throws.

The Bobcats should be 11-3 right now. They have lost 5 games due to their free throw shooting. Tonight they will overcome.
