Gerald Wallace, Bobcats Beat 76ers

Gerald Wallace Scores 24 In Win

For now the Bobcats just need to make sure they make the NBA Playoffs. That is the first step and they are in good position to accomplish it. Charlotte is now four games ahead of the Chicago Bulls. That is a four game cushion between their first franchise playoff appearance  and having to deal with another early summer.

Gerald Wallace helped the Bobcats beat the 76ers on Wednesday night with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals. More important than his stats is the fact that Philadelphia was held to 84 points, largely due to the incredible defense of Wallace.

The reason why that is important is that the only way Charlotte has a chance to advance in the playoffs is to play out of their minds on defense. They will need to frustrate their first round opponents and force them into ugly basketball. They need to build momentum as the NBA season winds down.

Charlotte does get a challenging stretch of games coming up. Their next game is against another young and upcoming team in the Milwaukee Bucks. That game is anything but a sure win. Then they get the Chicago Bulls in a game that will be a must win for Chicago. Expect that game to be intense. After that they get to play the Atlanta Hawks who are in a struggle with Boston for the third seed. If the Bobcats don’t play well, they could end up losing all three.
