    Bonzi for Ryan Bowen!

    Can you imagine the havoc that Bowen and Battier would create on the defensive end?!!? :eek: :eek: :eek: Opposing teams would be hard pressed to break 80 against us!!!

    Do it CD!

    Maybe you guys are right. The Rockets should keep Bonzi around so he can do nothing when the playoffs come around, just like he's done the entire season.

    One thing is for sure. If I had a lot a nickel for every excuse that Bonzi's has given for not doing his job, I would have a lot of nickels!

    What is the alternative, trade him for peanuts? Bonzi has more potential to help us in the playoffs than anyone we could in all probability trade him for.

    The bottom line is we might need him and we can't likely get anything better, thus it is best to keep trying to get somehting out of him.


    BTW Thumbs Spurs trade is the worst trade ever. Give them something that might be usefull to them while taking on their two crappiest players. That makes a lot of sense.

    He's one of the rare few on this team that can actually create his own shot and he isn't able to do that through what you're suggesting. His post game isn't lights-out/automatic all the time but he is a very skilled and smart post player.

    Tough game for the Bonz tonight and it is a great example of why I don't think he is right for this team.

    We need Snyder's athleticism more than Bonzi's post game.

    I never really paid attention to Bonzi before he became a Rocket. Could he ever hit a jumpshot consistently?

    Juwan is our 2nd best post up player besides Yao. Have you been watching the games?

    In his earlier days in the league he used to hit the mid range jumper nicely.

    And Battier has a nice one too.....we don't need Bonzi's post game......if he was a PG...it would be great...did you guys see Rafer get torched by Childress?

    But there are so many 2s and 3s that can beat Bonzi with quickness....he kills Manu......but that is about it.......

    We need Snyder't athleticism and aggression on the court, more than Bonzi's post game.

    I think Bonzi is fools' gold. I highly doubt that we will see the same guy we saw in last years playoffs. He is too slow and still seems to be out of shape. I mean I've seen numerous times where the guy has airballed free throws. Just inexcusable, lol..

    haha~!In my opinion Wells is the important cases of series games~!So far as he's on fire in one or two playoffs, his 200w's contract will be valueble!Anyone else at this price can't built this kind of contribution for our Roxs though it's short-term power!

    I don't think it's a matter of him fitting with the team. Weather he's playing well or not is a different issue. Right now he is very inconsistent but what he is capable of would be welcomed on this team. Juwan a post up player? not really, he's most of a face up player and is hardly gonna back down anyone his size. Most of his game is about 10-15 feet from the basket. Not that I have ANY problem with him. He's been phenomenal so far. I would like to see Snyder play though. It just seems that on a JVG team you either get some significant time or you don't get any at all which is fine in the playoffs but I would like to see him matched up against appropriate teams at least.

    Bonzi is inconsistent, but he is good player. He doesn't get alot of minutes and he's not really being used the right way. He is not really shooter, so more of his plays should be closer to basket, while Howard's should be away. Plus, one thing that I saw was that played better when Yao was on the floor.


    Bonzi can help this team in playoffs.

    Thus the : Bonzi does not fit on this team point I made.


    Bonzi will not provide an edge against any team other than the Spurs....

    The Jazz, Mavs, and Suns all have quick athletic wing players....they will KILL the Bonz....
