    So are you guys saying that atleast JHo can create his own shot? Because now that you point it at JHo does make Hayes look like Ben Wallace but without the offense. :p

    Sure, I'll give him that. But I wouldn't want to depend on that shot he creates in crunch time.

    Neither does JVG because Chuck only played 19 minutes in a double overtime game. And he wasn't in foul trouble.

    Hayes is much less effective without T-mac's bullet pass.

    Agreed, but he plays better defense than Juwan at this point, though I do have to say Jho was doing pretty well helping on Kobe part of the time.

    Kobe scored 53 points, and the vast, vast majority came with Juwan in the game.

    JVG appears to have fallen back in love with Juwan at the expense of Chuck. And the results are as expected.

    LOL. At least he's hitting some shots. But our defense really suffers when he is in there. We are just too slow when Yao and Juwan are on the floor together and it is too easy for opponents to get us hopped up into a faster paced game, which causes our turnovers to inflate and our shooting percentages to go down.

    Hence my "part of the time" part of the comment lol. He did well when he was asked to come and help double team Kobe. Chuck's bad week of fouls is going to cause him some playing time until JVG gets desperate again. :) But it will just force Chuck to work harder on the things he struggles with.

    Well, Juwan made up for his inferior defense with super efficient shooting. You can't blame Juwan much for this loss.

    Hey Chuck was 2-2 tonight! LOL

    And he even dunked one of them like everyone has been wanting to see. (of course, he didn't get very high on it, but it went in!)
