Bulls lose to Nuggets 101-114.

I can't believe that we lead 99-96 with about 5 minutes remaining and then only score 2 more points.

Rose had a nice game again. 15 points (7-16 FG), 6 assists, 2 blocks in 44 minutes. Not great, but ok.

But it seems like a trend that the opponents are shooting well against the Bulls. In the last four games they shoot 171-342 (.500). This is too much for Bulls to win continuous. The opponents also getting 11.5 steals per game while the Bulls having 18.5 turnovers.

Kenyon Martin shooting 10-10 against Bulls. Also too good. I'm thinking more and more that the Bulls really need help at front-court. Rose still leading the team in FG% (.479), the best front-court player is Gray with .452.

Other big men: Gooden .444, Noah .400 and Thomas with only .316. This is bad.

But where to find and get a big who can help? I don't know. Golden State don't want to trade Kaman or Camby. So they say at least.

Anyone have an idea?
