We have so many problems, it its hard to resolve so many.... Yao's defense has been consistently atrocious....I know he cant guard the Al Jefferson types but his court awareness on pick and rolls and back cuts have been consistently exposed....Besides his defense, he has never and will never be as aggressive as we want him to be.....For one bright spot in the 2nd quarter of the Minnesota game we saw how great he could be.... T-Mac I feel still feel is a great player if he can get over his psych issues...He is soft and his mentality is as fragile as a premature egg....No way do you let Bogans or OJ Mayo get the best of you when you are 29 yrs old....You can't live on your past success and migrate it to the present thinking you are the player you use to be...How does a 29 yr old player think that he is a modified role player??? Our success starts with fixing the above....Ron Artest is a good player but never a great player...he a fantastic role player and his criticism should never be taken seriously..Never should he be allowed to go on on one unless the clock is running down Shane Battier I feel is giving all that he has but injuries and unsure of what his role is on this team has affected him, his defense has been average at best and I think the criticism and his undefined role has cost him his confidence Rafer has been surprisingly consistent....It's bad when Scola and Rafer are the only consistent pieces on the team....He has actually played better that last year... Mutombo -----alot of people on this board think that he is a god send....Is it me or does he look extremely old out there.....Sadly enough, during the memphis game when Yao was getting his sack handed to him bu Gasol and Milicic, Mutombo played better defense and was more mobile... Scola has been a blessing....I really like his game...for the money he makes, he is definitely an over achiever....I would also put Landry and Wafer in this category.. Brooks has been inconsistent...when he drives, he is more effective....But we shouldnt realistically expect more out of a 2nd year player Barry should be our primary backup to Rafer....He is not getting enough minutes.... Head should stay where he is and Chuck Hayes is a specialist and should be where is is...regulated for certain players....IE Duncan or Garnett... What do you guys think??
I find it kind of ironic that you find Hayes only worthy of playing against two of the most elite players in the league.
