If Stro had Chuck Hayes' hustle and rebounding instincts, he might be an All-Star. Some guys just have a nose for the ball coming off the rim.
YESSSSS...... I love Hayes, but thank god he can not hit free throws. Orlando won tonight, we are now in 9th place on lotto night.
Rox lost, Juwan took the last second shot from the right corner and made it but the shot clock expired. It was close and the refs reviewed it but he definitely didn;t get it off at the buzzer.
Assuming Yao's foot injury doesn't have any long term effects, this game was probably the best thing that could have happened. Yao's gone for the rest for the year, pretty much guaranteeing we'll lose the rest of the games. We gave a very strong effort. Hayes demonstrated why he's worth keeping on the roster next season. And we lost.
Thank God Rafer crumbles under pressure and chokes. If he cant keep track of the clock in a meaningless game agaisnt the Jazz, how do you think he will manage the clock in playoff games? He wont be able to handle the pressure cooker. Another climb on the lottery ladder!!
This is most depressing, cursed season I have ever witnessed. I mean, whe the rockets were bad or the texans/oilers were bad, you knew they were bad, you expected them to be bad. This is unreal. McGrady, Yao, Alston, Wesley, Swift... all were down for extended periods. And the worst part is, they are a good team especially with Mcgrady and Yao.
random observations: with yao's broken foot, hopefully he can rest recoup over the summer amazing game by chuck hayes stro only played 13 mins mutombo gave harpring a black eye and knocked him to the ground....glad to see deke can still be an imposing figure & force in the paint back to back double figure nights in points for juwan, hopefully others are taking notice and we can trade him in the offseason
