    When I first saw THamm's potential, I was amazed. I thought if this guy can lose some pounds, and work on his game some more, he can be a super-Shaq.

    But then I saw him clang 2 free throws. Then later on in some other game, I saw him clang some more free throws.

    I am HOPING that THamm is a combination of Stanley Roberts and Shaq. Someone who has a decent shot, free throws, and a finesse game combined with raw strength and power.

    What do you all think?

    someone explain this then:

    When Barkley body-slammed Shaq and there was a double technical...guess who came off the bench to shoot ours.

    Hamilton...

    I never could figure that out.

    the other team designates a shooter when a player is unable to shoot due to injury or ejection....therefore the lakers picked hamilton (the worst the rockets had to offer)....

    hamilton was 2-2 last night...

    Yeah....and didn't Houston pick Glen Rice? I didn't understand why they did that. Surely there was someone else on the Laker bench that shoots worse then him.

    bobrek's gets the cookie:

    from the rule books:
    Hamilton was on the floor as I recall, to play some hack a shaq.

    So, Alaska I think we have an answer from Phil Jackson about Hamilton's FT shooting ability. Don't reach though, Hamilton and his baby steps aren't going to take big strides in this league.

    I think THamm hit two important free throws tonight against Spurs.

    I am thoroughly impressed with this guy! He is a keeper and still improving.

    I think it was Malik Rose that went up for a shot near the goal and THamm stuffed him. Jump ball! Keep up the good work.
