Maybe we should get Yao to teach him how... dude seems to have it down

I swear though, with each interview I hear and every article that I read I get more and more excited about the possibilities this year!

I don't mind his FT at all, just hope he can add a little bit of range on the jumpers. Never doubt his passing, Hayes has a high basketball IQ and a big heart for the game, which is what I like of him.

I could be wrong. IIRC Novak lit it up in summer league too. Anyways, I hope you are right. I do have high hope on the kid. I hope he will become our PG of the future for years to come.

You remember right. He wasn't dominant, but he flashed skills that seemed would translate to NBA level comp. Hasn't worked out that way so far ...

bonzi's "great shape" is relative. He is, and always will, have some extra weight on him...at least with his work ethic

Maybe someone told him you've always been his No. 1 supporter! :D Seriously, great scoops - thanks, Clutch.

Too bad that 82 game stretch didn't include the 7 games that counted.

And if you want to talk about playoff perfermances, Adelman doesn't exactly have the best track record either. He's got a choking shooter of his own. *cough*Peja*cough*. But you aren't going to put that on the coach now, are you?

Great job by Clutch for asking the first two questions. I think the first question about whether the team will retain their defensive intensity under Adelman was a great, original questions. It actually had Tmac thinking for a few seconds.

I wonder if Clutch got this question from this board? I believe there is a thread about this same topic.
