I wonder if there is any more post game locker room interview links from Hilltopper this season? According to this sohu.com article, before he left the locker room, Yao imitated reporter and asked Bonzi, who was surrounded by a group of real reporters, "How do you feel about grabbing the most rebounds for the team, Bon(zi)?" "I am taller than Yao!", Bonzi answered. It would be fun to watch if Hilltopper's colleagues caught this moment. http://sports.sohu.com/20071107/n253110926.shtml
Don't know if this sort will work in the link, http://www.nba.com/statistics/lenovo/lenovo_sort.jsp?pcomb=2&season=22007&split=20&team=Rockets If it didn't sort by ... "2 player combo" "07-08 reg Season" "Yesterday" "Houston Rockets" Shane and Bonzi had the best 2 player combo, next was Yao and Bonzi.
i wonder what would've happened if JVG played bonzi last season. against the jazz - bonzi would've caused fits at the 2 against fisher/giricek. probably given us the edge in the series. against the warriors - would've been in his element against all of those swingmen. could've averaged a double double that series. against the spurs - dominating. could we have shocked the world and made it to the finals last season had bonzi and JVG been compatable? could he have abused houghs, pavlovic, and jones in the finals?
He was there but he is only a "Spurs" killer not a "Mavs" killer - big difference. Dude, don't even put the thought in my mind because it is too damn depressing! I'm just glad that Gumby is gone! Now if we can get Rafer out of the starting lineup and in the role of 10th man, we would be doing even better!
Can Bonzi play some PF? He is strong and can rebound, if he can defend the other PF, why not try him there? He is 6-5, not much shorter than Hayes.
