Looking only at the last 38 games, the Jazz Team's performance has not been as good as the Bobcats', since the Jazz Team began the season with a 7-3 record, once outpacing the Nuggets Team for the top spot in the Northwest Division, but in the following 38 games, they only managed 16 wins against 22 losses.
In this respect, the Bobcats were in a similar situation. Before Okafor began experiencing injuries, the Bobcats had started their season with a 3-1 record.
After Okafor got injured, Gerald Wallace, Zhang Yang, and Felton all received more playing time.
After Boozer's injury, Deron... still waited impatiently on the bench, but Okur took the opportunity to shine, currently averaging 18 points and 9 rebounds per game.
Perhaps this deepened Deron's dissatisfaction with Sloan...
At 8 o'clock, the game started on time.
Felton and Gerald Wallace launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the game, leading their team to a 10-6 start.
