You've just confirmed what many have thought and that is that your awarding of Hammers will always be biased because you let your emotions be a factor.

Even better - just had a real quick look (don't have time to take it apart) but when Felts checked out of the game for the 1st time and DJ checked in there was 11:14 to go in the 2nd and we had an 8pt lead.

The next time Felts checked in and DJ checked out there was 2:35 to go in the 2nd and we were up by 13.

Also, Holiday played 41 something mins last night so he was defending and being defended by their starting PG pretty much all night - which flys in the face of that "he played against their 2nd unit" statement.

Felt played a good game. No doubt if LB had played him his standard 35 or so mins he would have done a lot more and stood out a lot more, but for me DJ did as much if not more in less mins. That's isn't a knock on Felts. Not at all. It was just the circumstance of the game.

So why don't we just swap Felton with DJ and play them in eachothers roles?

Let me answer that for you, we'd lose most games - that is why we don't do it.

I know I'm going off on a tangent here, but I don't get why it's easier for DJ to get a hammer than Felton. That's what this all boils down to. I admit I'm biased towards Felton - I root for him and I think he's the ultimate key to this team being successful. One of the other things I think of is "how would this game have gone if Felton wasn't playing". The answer for last night is it wouldn't have been good - the game would've been much closer.

Do you have the same expectations for a sophmore PG taken #9 over all as you do a 5th year PG who was taken #5 over all?

It's like Crash Vs Hulk.

If Crash puts up a 14 point, 8 rebound, 1 block, 1 steal game we'd probably say it was a so-so game.

If Hulk put up those numbers he would be in the running for a Gold Hammer.

You expect more from Crash than a 14/8/1/1 game.
