More Chapu Please

Why doesn't Andres Nocioni get a fair shake, he plays great D... not gimmick bullshit (playing for steals and blocks)... he takes on the challange of gaurding the best player on the other team (Lebron) the other night, and does everything he can... to stay in front of him, move his feet, and contest the shot. He NEVER gambles on the passing lane, which puts the D at a huge disadvantage when you gamble and miss. He gives up his body every chance he gets, takes charges, boxes out, and plays with unmatched intensity (minus Noah).



Jack Ramsey picked Noce to win defensive player of the year in October and he was quoted as saying... "This bulldog loves the challenge ... strong and tough."

Thats just the D...
Did you know Noce is 12th in the Eastern Conf for scoring per 48 minutes at 25.6 points...thats ahead of....
Joe Johnson
Vince Carter
Danny Granger
Ray Allen
Josh Smith
Richard Hamilton
Hedo Turkoglu
Andre Iguodala and so on....

He's a great team player, he plays better D then everyone on this list.... and he scores better then everyone on this list....... Never complains, never misses practice, always plays hard...

Maybe someone just needs more of a chance???
What would he avg if he played 35 min a game +...

Noce has played 35 min or more 10 times this year....
He averages 21.1 ppg and 5.8 reb in those games.......

Boylan........WOULD YOU PLEASE JUST PLAY... i'm sure this is possible ...
KIRK, BEN, NOCE, DENG, NOAH 35 minutes all in the same game
That still leaves 20+ minutes for Gooden, Larry "Jack-City" Hughes, and Tyrus
