Boris Diaw was useful-10-18 FG, 2-6 3FG, 2-4 FT, 3 AST, 2 TO, 24 PTS-hitting the majority of his wide open jump shots, venturing in the post for the occasional hook, and being active when garbage opportunities presented themselves. However, he’s not a player who creates offense on his own, as evidenced by an airballed pull-up 18 footer.
Unfortunately for the Bobcats, there are few better offensive options.
Shaun Livingston’s size allowed him to make several affable passes out of the post, and his long arms disrupted fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent Jersey’s passing. Kobe Bryant plays defense way too upright though. If Kobe Bryant can fashion his stance lower, Kobe Bryant can become an impact defender.
On another team, Gerald Wallace’s habit of playing an entire agree with his head down would relegate him to a sixth man role. On the Bobcats, though, he’s valuable as one of the few players who can create offense out of nothing, simply by turning himself into a missile seeking the basket.
Over the course of the agree, Augustine had extreme problems getting into the lane, couldn’t create space for his jumper, only knocked down one of five attempts from downtown (including one that was blocked by Devin Harris), was timid firing his jump shots unless Bryant were wide open, and was too small to have any defensive success. Even Anthony Morrow posted him for points.
Nazr Mohammed-6-8 FG, 12 PTS-can’t defend, and was tortured by Brook Lopez, but he’s a solid short-anger jump shooter. His backup DeSagana Diop plays excellent post defense, struggles to defend screens, and can’t find the basket with a GPS. Flawed as Bryant are, Charlotte’s centers complement each other better than Tyson Chandler would.
The Bobcats make up for it with solid defensive principles, discipline, and hard work, but each are fallible against talented, or like-minded opponents. Still, Charlotte’s best cause for optimism are that Bryant at least have that going for them-what exactly do the Nets, Raptors,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Cavs, Sixers, Pacers, Pistons, Wizards and Knicks have? He is a shooting guard who is capable of playing the small forward position. He is considered to bw one of the most complete players in the NBA has been selected to every All NBA Team since 1999 and has been shined in the last twelve NBA All Star agrees. Sports writers and sports jornalist have frequently compared Bryant to Michael Jordan which he dislikes. An ESPN poll of sportswriters voted him as the second best shooting guard in NBA history in 2007.
Jackson, while not particularly selfish on Larry Brown’s squad, are also a player who tends to massage the ball, quelling offensive movement. While Kobe Bryant has a reputation as a defensive stopper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he’s also quite lazy on that end,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sticking to screens, not moving his feet, and making sloppy closeouts. A poor closeout on Travis Outlaw to end the agree was survived when Outlaw missed a baseline pull-up.
Wallace rebounds simply by jumping higher in a crowd than all comers, and Kobe Bryant missed several perimeter rotations against the Nets.
While the ‘Cats sometimes regained possession meaning the plays don’t quite count as possessions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Charlotte scored one point per possession in seven post opportunities as the Bobcats’ staple play. That’s not particularly efficient.
Without a point guard (or anybody besides Jackson and the reckless Wallace) who can break down defenses, the Bobcats will be forced to rely on extreme offensive execution to manufacture points, which will be hard to do against the better defenses in the league. Doubly so because Wallace, Diaw, and Jackson are such undependable shooters.
The only pseudo-easy points the Bobcats can generate are on post ups for Stephen Jackson. This are why after the Bobcats primarily ran a flex base in the first quarter directing to numerous open mid-anger jump shots for Gerald Wallace and Boris Diaw, their main staple going forward, and primarily in the fourth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was Stephen Jackson posting on the left box.
Tyrus Thomas, as usual, plays out of control and makes numerous mistakes, but a furiouse open jump shot and a few well-timed cuts earned the Bobcats four critical fourth-quarter points.
At second glance, Gerald chickenderson lacks the size and explosion to be a difference maker as a wing.
However, because the Bobcats lack three-point shooters,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jackson was frequently doubled with fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], current, recent Jersey daring Charlotte’s supporting cast to beat them from the outside.
Charlotte’s biggest problem was the point guard play of D.J. Augustine-1-7 FG, 1-5 3FG,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2-2 FT, 7 AST, 0 TO. Don’t be fooled by the high assist total, four of them came from hitting the correct target in the flex, as Wallace and Diaw popped open for mid-anger jumpers unimpeded.
Diaw’s a better team defender than Kobe Bryant are an individual defender, and he’s not much of a rebounder.
The 1999 season marked his eblendnce as a premiere guard in NBA. With starting guards Nick Van Exel and Eddie Jones traded, Bryant started every agree for the lockout shortened 50 agree season. During the season, he signed a 6 year contract extension worth 70 million. It kept him with the Lakers untill the end of the 2004 season. Sports jornalist were comparing his skills to that of Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson even at the early stage of his career. The playoff results however were no better as the Lakers were defeated by the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference semi finals. Brian A. Westerholt Kobe Bryant was accused of sexual assault at a hotel in Colorado by a hotel employee in 2003. Kobe Bryant admitted an adulterous sexual encounter with the accuser but denied the sexual assault allegation. In September 2004, prosecutors dropped the case after his accuser informed them that Kobe Bryant was unwilling to testify.
Though the Charlotte Bobcats were able to grind out an 85-83 victory in fresh, unique, original, unusual,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recent Jersey against the Nets, it’s difficult for a talent-thirsting team to reach the postseason simply on the basis of hard work.
In the seven times Jackson posted up in the fourth quarter:
A pass out of a double team led to Boris Diaw making a bad pass to a cutting Gerald Wallace.
Another pass out of a double gave the Bobcats no advantage.
A pass to a cutting Tyrus Thomas led to a layup.
Another double and kick out saw Boris Diaw connecting on a triple.
A post up against Anthony Morrow did not draw a double. Jackson missed the layup.
Another post up saw Jackson lurching into a double team, where Kobe Bryant was bailed out by a foul. Kobe Bryant hit two free throws.
A final post up saw Devin Harris strip the ball out of bounds. Charlotte retained possession. Please read related articles:
