[CHRON] Taylor, Howard Finally Teammates with Rockets

I really don't have many concerns about our PF position this year. MoTay is EASILY the most underrated player on our team the past couple of years. The man is money from midrange and shoots a very high percentage for his type of play. The rebounding is somewhat of an issue, but I think Juwan does well enough to where it shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind that our starting powerfoward last year, Kelvin Cato, averaged 6.8 rpg and people practically had a lovefest in his honor. Many people felt we were giving up too much by letting a man that averaged 6.1 ppg, 6.8 rpg, and 1.4 bpg go in the T-Mac deal. Now, considering Taylor averaged 11.5 ppg and 5.1 rpg in almost the same amount of minutes, I don't really see why it is so fashionable to hate on him.

Now, lets analyze Juwan Howard's numbers. Most people will discredit any of his statistics by simply saying "Oh, well he played on crappy teams his entire career!" So, let's only take into account his numbers on teams that have made the playoffs. 96-97 with the Washington Bullets: 19.1 ppg, 8.0 rpg, 3.8 apg, and 1.1 spg. His stats with the Dallas Mavericks when he finished the season with them. In 27 games: 17.8 ppg and 7.1 rpg. That is pretty dang good! Keep in mind that he put up those numbers playing alongside Nash, Nowitzki, and Finley! The guy has been all NBA 3rd team and NBA Player of the Month before! Stop hating on this guy because it was popular to do when he was making 20 million a year.

 

Strength in numbers

We have 2 Wolverines
We have 2 Semonioles (I think)
We have like 85 Knicks (ok, more like 4, but still)

Poor Jim Jackson, we need to bring in another Buckeye.

 

vommitted?

 

And one buckeye in J.Jax. I wonder if there is some bad blood between him and the 2 Wolverines.

 

I think he means signed to play for the University of Michigan... but I'm sure he was doing a lot of that too...

 

Lets bring in Micheal Redd to even the odds baby!

j/k i know that wont happen

 

Maybe we can get Webber also, so we can have the most overrated and overpaid players to ever come out of Michigan.

 

We'd need Rose too because he is much more overrated and overpaid than Mo.
