Forget it. Nobody can force JVG do anything JVG doesn't want to. CD/Morey could either leave him alone, or fire him. FIRE HIM!!
So you're saying the biggest problem in Game 7 was offense, not defense... WHAT!? WE SCORED 99 POINTS! That is A LOT for a defensive minded team. Of course our offense is flawed, but our defense killed us much more than offense. All we needed to beat the Jazz in a 7 game series was a competent PF that could match up with Boozer's size and physicality. Hayes was not the answer. Howard was not the answer. Because of that, we were forced to put Yao on him. As we all saw, Yao was not the answer either, though he tried his best. Not getting rebounds late in the game killed us also. Don't you think a PF with size could've helped us? I can't even count how many times Hayes tried to jump for a rebound, but Okur or Boozer were able to get it specifically because they were taller. I love Chuck, but there's no way he should be starting! In addition to the rebounds we couldn't get at the end, what people are not mentioning is the fact that Okur was so wide open for threes at the end. We were fortunate he only made one of them. The defensive rotations were terrible. That's not all on Yao, like some people would believe. I'm guessing Hayes was supposed to be guarding Okur. What the hell was he doing out there?
