    silly rabbit trix are for kids!

    lol he deserves to be benched. The coach doesn't want to see that from his team who is 1-11. Maybe if they were 11-1, you can do whatever the heck you want on the court.

    I know McGee is a bonehead, but Flip Saunders must be fired asap.

    He made the basket...
    Does it matter? Lol. Dumbass coach; only movie coaches want to teach discipline before actual tangible WINS.

    I understand the benching. They need to focus on winning and not showboating. That is why god put Chandlers' ball in up in that guys snout.

    Do you mean wasted because he is stuck on a garbage team? Or do you mean wasted because you think he isn't living up to his potential?

    He isn't living up to his potential. So many boneheaded plays he makes. He's still a useful player, but he really needs to learn the finer points of the game.

    Don't understand the hate, the NBA is for entertainment and he damn sure did that with the dunk. If he missed it I'd understand the outrage, but why now? 2 points, great scene, entertained the crowd. Got back on D quick...nothing wrong imo.
    Is a 7ft dunk contest participant with huge hops supposed to do a layup on a 1-0 fastbreak when the whole crowd and tv audience is waiting for a huge dunk? You people would b**** about Jordan's free throw line dunk nowadays smh...

    Agreed. That is no worse than a player doing a windmill or some other fancy dunk on a fast break. That is only a slightly higher risk than a normal dunk for him. At home with a chance to get the crowd in the game down by 4 there is nothing wrong with that at all if he makes it.

    It would be a clear path foul if Kevin tried to stop him.

    Also, I don't want to see Kevin get injured

    I think he is realizing his potential pretty well. He is leading the league in blocks, his rebounds per 36 min are up, and his rebound percentage is up. Also, his fouls per 36 min are down. McGee needs to get off that terrible team. He would be a great fit in Portland if they could acquire him somehow. Cleveland wouldn't be bad either and that would allow Varejao to go back to the PF. Plus, Byron Scott or McMillan would be good coaches for him.

    That counts as 2 field goals and a rebound, right?

    John Wall must have been pissed about missing out on that assist.

    I don't see what the big deal is. He made it. And he got benched?
