Lol Chuck just standing there not even giving a shit... If this happened today we would have to hear Mike Tirico refer to this as "disgusting."

@sosdkny ... intriguing fact, though: Maxwell led the 1994 championship Rockets in assists per game at 5.1.

[joekiddlouischama]

@sosdkny When Houston won those two championships in 1994 and 1995, Maxwell failed to shoot .395 from the field or .325 on threes in either season and those rates came despite playing in a post-up offense orbiting around Olajuwon that created open looks for perimeter shooters. So certainly, Maxwell represented a player who opposing teams needed to be aware of (he could go off at any moment), he played tough defense, and he played with great heart. But his rates of conversion proved very low.

@sosdkny Maxwell was a shooting guard who shot .398 from the field, .320 on threes, and .733 from the foul line for his career; I don't think that those rates can be written off to anger management. Yes, he constituted an all-purpose, two-way guard: tough, athletic, acrobatic, explosive, and an incredible streak ("binge" may be the better word) scorer for a quarter or a half. But ultimately, he proved to be a highly inefficient scorer.

Top ten, why not??

@TheTomSt ... Chuck's shorter brother, maybe ...

[joekiddlouischama]

@mabrignani ... actually, the Suns were pressuring the Rockets defensively, so Phoenix wasn't conceding anything. In that situation, Houston should have still tried to score.

@sosdkny ... of all-time? ... kind of an extreme statement. Maybe of his time ...

@JosephCLawrence1 His defense, however, usually proved incredibly soft.
