    You must have missed his alley-oop earlier in the game... its still there.

    He's being double teamed EVERY TIME he goes inside... which has an impact on what he can do offensively.

    Totally agree.
    And its so much better to see him recieving the ball in those spots tonite. I think its his post game that he needs to work on more than anyother. He needs to develop it like how Kobe Wells, QRichardson, and even Jrich and other big guards have. T-mac has the height, body, hops and quickness to be great at it.

    Okay, fair enough..but your original argument was that he didnt have any questionable or bad misses, I simply countered that. Yes, overall, J-ho isn't having a good or bad game

    If we had started the game cleaner (no turnovers) this game would have been over. Instead we are paying for our slow start. We have to play a strong 4th quarter on both ends. Arenas is coming back

    LOL... saw that too. Juwan has great elbow dodging skills. Probably got it from years of dunk dodging-- getting out of the way of a guy about to posterize him.

    No it was a good gamble. I am more worry about his scoring and passing game. He looked kinda lost on the offensive end and wasn't confident out there.

    It's nice to see T-Mac coming around.

    Hope it lasts.

    This is a true test. Let's see if both our stars are mentally tough to win this game on the road

    you make an excellent point. my statement on hayes' fouls was clearly idiotic. and that rhetorical question about the last time we had a player foul out in the 3rd was pure stupidity. wow...i'm sure no one else thinks chuck hayes needs to figure out how to quit committing stupid fouls.

    He has been guarded that way for several years now, especially when he was in Orlando. A lot of his shots after fouls are more like prayers nowadays, while in the past he would make legitimate shots and sank most of them.

    It was precisely because you were not watching the game.

    Keep talkin' on the phone, and we'll be good.

    Umm no. My original point was, J-ho was not having one of his awful/bad game that deserves the usual complaints and outcries and that he was actually playing a solid game for once.

    If you have tried a Baklava and a twinkie, you will know why one is an insult, while the other is highest of compliments.

    Vspan has been hesitant and inhibited on the offensive end the whole game. I think he's really scared of making turnovers or something.
