    I like his efforts this year, but his lack of offensive power is really hurting our team. should we get rid of him in the summer?

    here is the quote from MoT. I love his frankness when commenting about his teamates. This quote is from today's chron.


    Taylor, who had been on the bench down the stretch of the past two games, forced the Clippers to defend the power forward by scoring 13 points through three quarters. Then when Elton Brand moved out of the lane to stop Taylor, Taylor had four of his season-high five assists in the fourth quarter.

    "When (Kelvin) Cato was in, they weren't really guarding him," Taylor said. "They were jumping two guys in front of Yao. When you see a team doing that, I don't think it's disrespect, it's the game plan. But it is a challenge for me to step up and knock down some shots to try to open it up for Yao a little bit. I try to catch the ball within my range. Even if I don't shoot it, the four man has to come up and guard me."

    I just observed that CATO as PF is not a good option. Spoon also has limited contribution to ROX' offense. CATO as backup C is OK.

    I think JVG exaggerated Spoon's deal. Yes, when the opponents ingore Spoon, he may hit some open-shots. But if the opponents know Spoon has some thread and put defender on him,jusk like Sonics did, Spoon would suck.
