Chicago Win

Another win against a good team! 10-9, above .500.

The Good:

KG. Dominated Wallace on offense and defense.
Davis: I've been one of his most vocal critics, but he's been solid
over the past three games. If he keeps this up, the Wolves will be a
better team.
James: Averaged around 20 over the past 4 games. Did a good job of
keeping Hinrich in front of him.
Jaric: He deserves more minutes. Love his energy and defense, and the
offense flows better when he is in the game.
Casey: He's finally settling into a good rotation (although I still
think EG should get minutes).

The Bad:
Smith getting in foul trouble--although I think a few of those fouls
were calls that went against him because he is a rookie.

This is was one of the only games I have seen this year (besides the
Blazers game) and I would have to agree based on his performace last
night. Has Casey tried a lineup rotation of James, Foye, Jaric, KG and
Smith (Blount) very much? Jaric does a great job of running the
offense from the 2 or 3 position and this would free up James and Foye
to score. Put Smith in to help KG on the boards (Jaric is under-rated
as rebounder) and run.

>From last year it is apparent that Jaric can't be the starting PG BUT I
think he could play a very large roll as a player that can come in a
handle the ball, score, and help on the boards. Jaric may be much
better of the bench in the mold of Ginoboli (SG for the Spurs) than a
starter. I am not ready to give up on him yet.
