Start Chuck Hayes, at least he can grab more than 1 rebound

yeah this doesn't relate to any ex-rocket player pics at all but when in rome

 

That is the most tainted poll question I have ever seen.

It's right up there with "When was the last time you beat your wife?"

 

If only Stromile would bang.

 

The sentence after "No" is lame. I chose "No", anyway. Hayes is good off the bench, but not yet a starter. Head is a good example.

 

It's an interesting issue. 'cause on the one hand, I can see the Chucky Brown similarities. Clyde would make a sweet move to the basket and finish off by putting the ball in Chucky Brown's hands for an easy basket. TMac could do the exact same thing for Chuck Hayes.

But then on the other hand, I really like the way we go to a lightning-fast youth movement off the bench. Rafer, Luther, Chuck, Baxter and TMac (or another starter-type) are FAST and FURIOUS. When we go youth like that, the ball's up past half-court within 2 seconds. Everyone's running, forcing the other team to get down there as quickly as possible. Man, I LOVE when we play like that.

But then, maybe Juwan Howard could offer some scoring punch off the bench. Or would he not be as effective coming in cold off the bench?

GRR! At least this is a good problem to have.

 

Deuce, I totally agree with you. Bring Hayes off the bench and start Swift. Surround Yao with some young athletes and a weakside shotblocker. JVG has never started Swift with Yao, let's see what happens, what do we have to lose at this point.
Hayes is a phenomanal rebounder and defender, but I have still not seen his jumper and that is what he is going to need playing alongside Yao. If not the lane will be clogged all game long, cause Hayes plays close to the basket.
