I actually watched some of the game last night. Nice to see them being competitive again. That said, I wonder if it's counter productive to Ujiri's plan.

A Weekend at Bernier's said:Great game last night, seat-of-the-pants ending and all. Lowry played great. I don't understand basketball, I guess, since resigning him seems like a no-brainer.
But I have to say, last night Chuck Hayes was absolutely brutal. I know he's basically the 11'th man and expectations for him are limited, but there was one sequence in the third quarter where he was on the floor and, not coincidentally, the Raptors blew a 9 point lead, looked like he was a recreational basketball player. Fouls, turnovers, missed assignment, mishandling the ball. And this was in four minutes, maybe.
Anyway, I know somebody has to fill that limited role off the bench and that you're not going to Dwight Howard to do it. But, holy mackeral, Hayes is terrible.

It's worth mentioning, though, that Hayes is really only in the role at all because of the injury to Tyler Hansborough. With everyone healthy he's probably a DNP.
