1.)We need some help in the damn 4th quarter. Heck, just put Hakeem in the 4th quarter for all I care. The point is, that when the game is close, he knows what to do. He knows when to pass, who to pass it to, and whether he should shoot it. 2.)It will diversify our offense. We should definately keep doing our new form of offense, but mix it in with a little bit of posting up. I really don't want to rivert back into our crappy offense of before. And i'm sure it's not gonna happen, because our players will be used to the new offense by then. Plus these players are more suited to this new offense of ours. But, it would give us another go to guy. 3.)Hakeem is willing to accept a lesser role as evidenced by the article in the newspaper. 4.)For the first time in a long time, he is not playing with pain. peace
OH YEAH. Forgot something. Even though he's not as good as he used to be, he is still in the top 5 centers in the league.
I only see one good thing and its.... ( Drum Roll please) ........ NO MORE PLAYING TIME FOR THE FAT "2 SANDWICHES" THOMAS HAMILTON!!!! HE SUCKS!!! I think we should only play him when we play the lakers. I want to see shaq vs Hamilton.
yeah Francis3. But like I keep on stressing, wait until next year to judge Hamilton. Maybe he'll get into shape and become the next Shaq! Even if he dont become the next Shaq, he could still help us a lot if he got into decent shape.
Yeah! Give THam a chance to get into shape. He has shown flashes of being a good rebounder even at his enormous size now. Imagine how could he could be if he trimmed down. He has also shown great ability to hit guards on the outlet pass, leading to easy fastbreak points.
Nevermind his game. He needs to get in shape (seriously) so he doesn't drop dead of a heart attack in his thirties. Can you imagine how hard that guy's heart must be working to keep blood flowinging through that very large body?
THam has looked good to me every game he has played in and keeps looking like he has lost some weight - he's is working at it. Yall shouldn't expect him to be another Shaq or Hakeem. He is very good and his size. Like Van Chancellor says, "He won't be getting any shorter!" Hamilton is a keeper unless we have to. Francis3 you seem so young! Develop a little patience and openmindedness. No offense!
I keep going for the secondary subjects. lol. To the subject, there are no "bad things" about Hakeem coming back. He can only bring good with him. Hurry back, Dream!
Why do you like Thomas Hamilton? I dont see anythinng good about his game only the fact that sometimes he can power other centers in. He loses the ball 90% of the time. He cant catch the ball. ANd he travels 10 times a game plus he doesnt run the floor. I dont know what rudy saw in this guy. [This message has been edited by Francis3 (edited December 23, 1999).]
