Bobcats / Bulls preview

Tonight at 8:30pm the Charlotte Bobcats(6- will be facing off against the Chicago Bulls(3-10). How a team as talented and deep as the Bulls can start the season losing 10 of their first 13 games is a mystery to me. Here a ffew theories that I'll throw out there:

•   Age has finally caught up with Ben Wallace. Looking at the numbers, his pulling down a modest 7.5 rebounds per game which is 3 under last years rate, and hes shooting 37.1% from the field which is mind boggling because for Big Ben thats another way of saying that hes only hitting 37.1% of his dunks.


• Ben Gordon is letting his offseason contract talks linger into the regular season. Something is definitely wrong with him, hes shooting a stellar 36.9% from the field.


• Maybe half of the roster was mentally worn down over hearing their names involved in Kobe Bryant trade rumors over the past 3 months


• Maybe it could be the Skott Skiles / Tyrus Thomas bickering.


• Or maybe Kirk Hinrich is mentally wrecked after having this happen to him. 
  
  

 

Whatever the cause of the Bulls collapse may be, lets hope that their team remains a disaster through Saturday night allowing our Bobcats to climb one game closer to .500.
