On a completely different note, anyone else amazed with Chris Wilcox? The guy is a beast. (20+ in points and rebounds) I though Seattle really got screwed on the Radmanovic trade but they seemed to have gotten a guy they couldve really used. He's a Stro kind of player except instead of hanging out outside the paint jacking up bad jumpers, he's slashing to the basket to either get a rebound or catch a nice pass and go up for the layup/dunk.
Man, you can just tell that Bill Worrell hates Stromile Swift. He's such a homer, but whever Stromile makes a mistake, he lets him have it.
Exactly!! And they know there is no way this crappy sonic team will beat us when Yao is in the game...Thx ref
I have been saying we should make a run on him since his rookie year in LA. He just got caught behind Brand, he would be the PERFECT complimentary player to Yao at the PF position. Also, I think he is an Unrestricted FA this year.....the Rockets should seriously make a run at him. DD
The only remaining entertaining value of the game is wathcing JH. ... When he's out, I'm reduced to watching RA.
well I wasnt going to post on this board... because I really signed up to see what you folks were saying... but I think this is the best thing to happen to Yao in this mean nothing game... bottom line is Yao needs to get the respect that he deserves from the Ref's he is a 4th year star in the League and they need to treat him as such.... fouling out is just perfect... because people will start questioning why refs are fouing out Yao with 12 minutes to go in a game...(post Shaq comment too) infact having him foul out in the 3rd would have even been better... Yao should have went off on the Ref's and gotten a T... maybe even chuck the ball away.... kudos to JVG for atleast playing this the right way... Yao needs to learn to play aggressive even with 5 fouls...
Luther Head has gotten absolutely torched two games in a row (by Kobe, and now by Ray Allen). We have to draft a SG that can play defense this summer.
I dont think we would have enough money to go after wilcox (he would be nice to have though)... Saddled with Juho's horrible contract
What can he do? He's at high disadvantage night in and night out at the 2guard spot. If he doesn't develop his handle, he's a bench player. I've already said as much.
I agree. Wins/losses mean nothing right now. What matters is gaining experience and learning from various game situations.
