If the Charlotte Bobcats go on to lose their first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic,Office 2007 Pro Key (http://www.windows7-key.ca/office-2007-key), it certainly won't be because of Gerald Wallace. Playing substantial postseason minutes for the first time in his career, the Bobcats' franchise player, first-time All-Star, and only remaining player from their expansion roster has delivered everything but a win; even a player of his considerable ability can't win a game on his own.
Because this is a Magic blog, and because Dan Devine, Henry Abbott,Windows 7 Ultimate Key (http://www.msoffice2010key.net/windows-7-key), and Brett Callahan have all touched on Wallace's strong play already, I won't belabor the point. But I did want to highlight how well Wallace has played in this series, even in defeat.
His per-game averages of 20 points, 11.5 boards,Office 2010 Professional Plus Key (http://www.key-windows-7.de/office-2010-key), 1.5 assists, and 2.5 blocks on 55% shooting are impressive enough, and prior to last night's games he was the only 20-and-10 guy also averaging at least 2 blocks. Also consider that Wallace was in a three-way tie for seventh on the postseason win shares list so far, with 0.5, despite the glaring fact that the Bobcats haven't won anything yet. Dwyane Wade is the next-highest player from a winless team on that list, with 0.3.
Perhaps this chart can underscore Wallace's impact better than I can:
Poss. UsedPts.Pts Per Poss.
Wallace32401.250
Rest of
Bobcats1331260.947
Oh, and he's turned the ball over just once, in 40 possessions, on a team that's coughed it up 37 times already.
And now that I've posted this piece, he'll probably shoot 3-of-14 with 4 turnovers in this afternoon's game against the Magic,Office 2007 License (http://www.windows7-key.ca/office-2007-key), at which point you're more than welcome to laugh at me. Or, if you're superstitious, thank me.
