I actually went tonight hoping to get a hold of Chuck. Easily the best interview on the team since I’ve been doing this. Unfortunately he didn’t speak. When I got into the Kings lockerroom, he was speaking to a staff member of the Kings; just weird seeing him in the visiting lockerroom. Then, after getting some Jimmer, Cousins, Evans footage, I headed to the Rockets lockerroom just as Chuck was walking in. He went straight to his old locker–in the corner of the room–and quipped about Terrence Williams stealing it, saying the latter should be charged property tax. Then he spent some time with Kevin Martin and Luis Scola, catching up on old times. Just bizarre seeing Hayes in there as a member of a different organization. The whole postgame thing is pretty unpredictable – you just don’t know when guys will be available. But last season, I always knew that regardless of the day/game, Chuck Hayes would not only talk to me, but give me some damn good content at that. That’s just one of many reasons why Chuck Hayes is maybe my favorite Houston Rocket of all-time.
