I think Jordan is Back
I'm talking about Mr. 4th Quarter, Ben Jordan (Gordon). He's averaging 29 points since being benched. It's just amazing how that works. Maybe he's just better coming in cold turkey. Last night's win was significant because they came back from a large 12-point deficit to win by 12... a 24-point turn-around! In order to make make 4th quarter runs, you need some scoring power off the bench. So far it's a good strategy by interim coach Boylan... going back to the beginning. Wallace played one of his better games. 6 players scored double digits. Deng had a double double. In the past few games, everyone played good minutes and stats were spread out. Things are looking good and they're going to need this positive energy because they're facing the Blazers tonight. Portland is a team modeled after the Bull's building process, looking at personality more than star power. I guess they learned their lesson from the Jailblazer days. They're also coming in with 13 wins in their last 14 games. It should be an interesting mirror match.
