An Open Letter to Dahntay Jones

DJ,

we all know that you can be an excellent defender.  You're tough as nails and like to body up to your opponents no matter how sweaty they are or how badly your jersey smells at the end of the night. 

Everybody knows that you like to pull the chair in the post.  We get it.  It's just like when you pulled the chair from your buddy in the lunchroom back in sophomore year in high school.  It's fricken' hilarious to see them lose their balance and fall flat.  It's a great move, don't get me wrong.  But do me a favor.  After you pull the chair, don't give up on the play.  Remember when you did it against Dirk and he *almost* lost the ball?  Remember when you did it against Kobe and he *almost* didn't make the easy layup?  Well, I remember how in each of those game you guys *almost* won.

Pull the chair, but then go for the ball.  I know you got hops, when Kobe is off balance he doesn't get any air under him.  Block the damn ball.

Just some advice from a guy who sits on his couch while willing you guys to victory.  However, I did beat my boss in a game of H-O-R-S-E the other day, so I have that going for me.

Sincerely,

NuggBuckets
