ZaZa Ticked Me Off Last Night!!!!!

[1524]

I dont expect him to stop Shaq, but I do expect him not to be SCARED of him. He played liked a bitch when Shaq got the ball. At least Big John wasn't scared!!!!

I feel ya. Big John even blocked a Shaq attempt, but of course.....Refs called a foul! But J-Ed didn't really back down too much from him though.

I say it again. Big J-Ed would be a nice center if they can develop him properly. I think he could be very much like a poor man's Kevin McHale, but with Rik Smits-like stats. Now with a solid PF (Bosh/ Frye/ Garnett) starting next to Zaza, and J-Ed as a backup C, this season will have already done wonders for us inside and soildified our nucleus for the future.

So I say it again. We need to develop Big John into a tougher, more aggressive low post threat, and better shotblocker. Because he has the size and ability.

Yeah...I have always seen a huge weakness in his defensive effort. He is very scrappy on the offensive boards and offensively, but he can't guard anyone on the defensive end.

That is why I try not to overrate him based solely on his offensive numbers. A lot of people on this forum do that. His numbers are always great, but he is not putting any fear in anyone on the defensive end.

ZaZa pretty much stunk it up the whole game. He definitely looked intimidated - and on both ends of the floor too.
