Haywood has a text-book case of "I got paid, bichez"... It's like a Dampier clone. He'll probably pick it up in the last year of his contract.

They don't have great offenses. Like I've posted, even Kobe said the triangle was boring. Both offenses are playoff tested and not dependent on one player. The Lakers and Jazz have had good players running their offenses. That's another reason why you think their offenses were great. The players were great, not the offense. Kobe, Shaq, Pau, Stockton, Malone, will make either offense look good when they have good complimentary players.
Because players don't play better in contract years? If a player has a good year one year it doesn't mean that will play the same the next and vice versa. Common sense I would think but maybe not for you.
I've seen that comment a lot on ST. That's ed up, but make no mistake, they will need Haywood.
Maybe he is sulking and dragging ass because he's pissed that he is not starting and thinks he should? That would be stupid, but if he is healthy there has to be a reason why his play has fell off.
To make judgment on a player/team I would think you would ideally want to see they play before making that call/thread and making your self look foolish.
He was Wizards material before Dallas. Stupid is certainly a possibility. But I'll go with lazy.
I have a perception of both players from the times they played the Lakers and I made this thread based off of that. Based off of my perceptions of them, I asked the question of why Chandler starts. I don't see what is wrong with that. It's hardly foolish. Ignorant, only because I haven't seen the Mavs play this year, but not foolish.
Foolish in that your basing it off a contract year Haywood and a Chandler that hasn't been healthy. Chandler is obviously healthy this year and playing good. Haywood not so much. I've seen a few Mav games and I'm basing my opinion off what I've seen from them this season.
Chandler hasn't been since he was a senior in HS. He has no offense unless he is spoon fed. Against the Lakers, who is he going to post up? Pau? Bynum? Odom (maybe)? If he isn't catching lobs or getting putback dunks, what good is he on offense? Healthy or not, Chandler ain't .
He could still start for your Hype though.![]()
Well now we know the reason behind your stupidity. ESPN highlights![]()
Haywood is probably a more talented player than Chandler though. When he wants to, he has shown much more of an ability to score in the low post, and seems to have great timing on his offensive rebound put-backs and slamming missed shots in.
Problem is he has consistency issues, although I don't neccesarily think its due to laziness like Dampier, as opposed to not being happy coming off the bench, although he has seemed to be getting better and more accustomed to it as the season goes on.
Gotta say, Mahinimi has been a nice surprise though. It's really nice to be 3 deep at the center position, with 3 quality players.
