    because you don't take behind the back half court shots in the playoffs?

    darn you got me ... i was being sarcastic and posting it to mainly get away from all the strictly serious stuff that comes up during the playoffs. Always good to get a change of pace. Mo Pet actually hit the shot in the vid but the article talks about Bonzi's trick shot.

    We keep Bonzi, and Skip goes down like he did, and now we have to rely on Luther Head and Aaron Brooks as our PG's.

    Think about that for a second.

    Luther Head and Aaron Brooks.

    Not saying I agree with him or you, but we did include Mike James in the trade. So we would have him also. He couldn't play worse than Bobby Jackson has in game 1 and game 4.

    Considering how Mike James got no burn when he was on the Rockets, and absolutely no burn after the trade to New Orleans, it's pretty clear that Mike James is no longer servicable.

    Not even in garbage time.

    For either teams.

    I was being sarcastic. I would prefer to have Bonzi still and play James instead of bJax but the way it is isn't much worse so it isn't a big deal at all.

    Bonzi brings it when it counts and is a matchup nightmare for opposing teams. I'm sure he'll be effective against San Antonio. Hopefully the Rockets can resign him in the offseason.

    Too bad he doesn't bring it when he's counted on. The guy is unreliable. He's a season away from being Mike James unreliable, but some stupid team will pay him next year. Good trade for us.

    Price you pay to dump MJ contract for an expiring. Now Bonzi is the Hornets problem to resign, Morey wouldn't have made the trade if he had a crystal ball to tell him Yao would be out for the season.

    Now lets see if Morey can use BJs expiring to get something next year.

    I think, so far, Bonzi did a 'ok' job.

    Why do we keep bringing this crap up? Bonzi STUNK here in Houston, he is only playing better in New Orleans because he plays with CP3.....

    And he is playing a very minor role.....

    Big FRICKEN deal.

    Bonzi is someone I can live without on this team. He was a contributor but not a key one. He would have helped when Yao went down though.

    Mike James is someone that reaaaaally had to go.

    As it is I'm happy we don't have to worry about resigning Bonzi, he is getting old and contributes less than half the time.
