Thoughts from Bobcats Tragedy

• Jared Jeffries picked up a bunch of charges, and leads the league. He flops more than professional soccer players.
• Gerald Wallace is the antithesis of Jared Jeffries. Jeffries gets easily knocked over from minimal contact, Wallace plows guys over with maximal contact.

Doing what they do best.
• The Bobcats jersies have really stupid collars that don't go all the way around the neck

Who designed this?

• Danilo "Dikembe" Gallinari had 2 blocks in just 21 minutes last night. He is averaging 1.5 blocks and 1.3 steals per game in December. Who says he is just a glorified Wally Szczerbiak?
• I love Mike D'Antoni, but why can't he play Gallinari for 36 minutes per game? Or throw Toney Douglas some minutes when Hughes and Duhon begin to falter.
• Jonathan Bender is only 28. He is 7 feet tall and has been training with an olympian high jumper for a long time. I am drinking the Bender Kool-Aid right now and can't wait to see him in action.
• I said to myself heading into the fourth quarter "this is one of the games the Knicks usually blow, but they are different now." I guess I was wrong.
• Jeffries for 3!
• JJ was +15 on the game and Gallo was the only other Knickerbocker in the positives with a +2. Hughes and Al were -15 each and Wil was -14 despite playing well.
• 43 turnovers makes for some ugly basketball. Gotta take better care of the ball.
• I hate when Eddy Curry is in the game. It is like telling the opponent "ok we aren't trying to win for a few minutes, we need to force it to Eddy so we can showcase him for a trade." Winning should be the top priority.
• The Bobcats don't have many fans.
• The Knicks have been playing a lot of zone. I personally hate playing against a zone, and it is amazing to see how much trouble NBA teams have against the Knicks nebulous 2-3/3-2. Jeffries is the crux, his length and agility up top can close out on shooters, disrupt passing lanes, and come with the help block.
• Duhon missed 2 out of 3 foul shots and Gallo missed 1 of 2. Rare.
