It's only that no one in the media gets to watch the Rockets on a regular basis. I could make a whole mix tape of Chuck's passing... that's one thing (other than setting solid screens) that he does very well offensively. Oh and shouldn't the Rockets be a lion face for getting rid of Tracy before he could drive Rick Adelman into an early grave ;) I think we all know now why he was sitting in Chicago and not with the team. Kudos for the return of lion/lemon face! It's one of my favorite bits to read. Chuck Hayes has been passing very well all season.

In fact, he was before Chris Paul went out and I expect him to be back in the starting lineup when CP gets back. But... you have to cut Jeff Bower some slack on this one if you look at the Hornets roster. Darren Collison has no backup. Therefore, Thornton is coming off the bench to get 5 minutes a game as the backup PG. If he started, there'd be no one who has the ballhandling to do that. I'm not exaggerating. There'd be no one. And Collison is already playing minutes in the mid-40's lately. So, I don't really hate on the Hornets coaches for this decision. There's a reason for it.

Watch the game against the Rockets from Monday. This was a pathetic display of defense and basketball by the Raps. This is what it’s going to look like if you leave this summer. That’s a horrible thing to do to a group of people. I hear Toronto is a lovely city so that can’t be the problem. And the money looks funny so you probably always feel like you’re playing Monopoly. That doesn’t sound too bad either. Don’t do this to Canada. Don’t do this to the Raptors fan. Just suck it up, sign another three-year deal and tough it out. Thank you.
