Chicago Bulls at Charlotte Bobcats 12/05

I'll take my chances with Emeka taking a shot in the paint versus our other guys jacking up 27 footers 7 out of 7 days a week.

We allow 53pts in the first 3 quarters but then allow 38 in the 4th? WOW, how does that happen?

Good job Vincent, When Herrmann is doing well, take him out. When Carrol is doing well, take him out. When, for once Primo is rebounding and playing D, let's also take him out.

Goodness. The streak is at 7, and the next 3 look like sure losses barring a miracle. We are going down like the Titanic. Right now, we have the 8th worst record. After the next 3, likely the 5th. Man, all the promise this season held just a brief 6 weeks ago.

Obviously, we need to get the ball more to Emeka in the post. He only had 7 shots I think, which is not enough. Gerald was doing a good job for a little while slashing to the basket and drawing the foul or the and one, but the Bulls started doing a good job of defending the drive in the 4th and he had to pass out to Felton who was shooting horribly. Then any momentum of the third Q was lost when Gerald had to sit with 5 fouls. Herrmann and Carroll should be getting those kick-out shots anyway. I understand that Dudley was trying to shoot through his shooting slump, but it seems like he is 0-8 or so from behind the arc for the entire season and he missed most of his other shots in the game. That is a lot of wasted possessions. He needs to get to the basket or make some good passes as I have seen him do. J-Rich was shooting well in the first half, so it didn't really show, but he needs to stop settling for such long shots, most of which he missed in the 4th Q. They need to run their screens and get more aggressive between the arc and the basket.

I was glad to see Herrmann in the game much more and I love him, but I am starting to see why he has not gotten much playing time. He is a good shooter and an ok rebounder, but he doesn't seem to be much of a defender. His defense is running around crouched wildly waving his arms around, which I guess is supposed to distract the defender into accidentily throwing the ball away or make him stop and laugh long enough for Walter to grab the ball away. Unfortunately, I have not seen it happen yet. He is also good at backdoor cuts to the basket, but that seem to work best in the half court defense that Vincent is trying to get away from.

I hope we get Hollins back soon. He brings some serious energy and aggression in the post.
