I can't believe some of the replies to this post. Why would anybody make this up? Also, I didn't need any third party information to tell me that Hawes is intimidated out there. Unless you're blind, you can clearly see that for yourself. The guy is 21 years old. We all forget that sometimes. Pretty much every 21 year old on the planet is totally insecure about everything, especially one that is constantly getting ripped by the fans and the media.
While I too have my frustrations with Hawes, we need to remember that this is a KID who is averaging 11 pts, 6 reb, and 1 block a game in 27 minutes. He's really not behind schedule. If somebody were to say he would be averaging this in his 3rd year at the time we drafted him I don't think we would have been all that surprised.
IMO, it's not Spencer we need to be worried about -- it's JT.

Whether or not the story is true doesn't matter. I already knew Hawes was afraid. You can see on his face every time he plays. He's 20 or 21 years old. Playing against some of the most physically gifted people in the world. His body is not even close to it's prime so I can understand his fear. He needs to get in the gym this upcoming summer.

lol..... that is hilarious.
you know it happened just like that, he's so tall... she assumed that he was a tough guy and was like, "but youre so tall i bet you never get affraid on anything." he replied, "thats not true, how often do stand around 7 foot guys all day, they can be pretty scary.. they weigh like 300 lbs and are running right at you." then she got all googly eyed and just gave in to him.
he's probably been struggling because she was working him out something fierce. he doesnt have any juice left.
i believe mediesel... hawes is just a simp. he looks like the type, i so believe that he just told her that.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm not accusing you of making up anything. All I'm saying is that your relaying hearsay. Too many times people see what they want to see, and hear what they want to hear. I have a friend thats a psychiatrist. He taught me a little trick to use to make sure someone understands what your saying. Try it sometime and you'll be amazed at some of the responses.
The next time your having an important conversation with your girlfriend, wife or just a good friend and you want to make sure your understood, just ask them to repeat back to you what you just said, as soon as you finish saying it. You'll be amazed how many times they can't do it, because they wern't really listening. Or how they heard something entirely different than what you intended.
Its for this reason that I just don't put much stock in hearsay. Its not that the person is lying, its that they just didn't interpret what they heard correctly. I'll make one up. Lets say that Hawes could be talking about his first year in the league and how he felt intimidated the first time he had to go out and match up against Shaq. Not an unreasonable thing to say for a player that was 19 years old at the time and weighed 220. But she could have come away with him being intimidated by all the centers in the league. I'm not saying thats what happened. But that type of thing does happen more often than one would think. I see it happen on this very fourm all the time. I've done it myself.
Truer words have never been spoken. I asked my wife to get me a soda out of the fridge, and she (literally) came back with a ham sandwich. Not that I didn't eat the thing, but it's soooo not what I asked for. I just asked her to go back for the soda like nothing weird had just happened.
OMFG that is hilarious. My wife actually does a pretty good job listening and I am the bad one 
LOL.. seriously.
Or it's exactly what you asked for, but you just didn't know it. Sounds like a keeper to me.

At my age it wouldn't matter because I wouldn't be able to remember what I asked for five minutes after I asked for it. I would have eaten the sandwich and forgotten I asked for the coke.

This is an excellent thing to do as a parent. My son would tune me out all the time. So, If it was importatn enough, I'd ask if he heard what I said. He'd roll his eyes and say yes. Then I'd ask him to tell me what I said and he give me such a sheepish and sly smile, then laugh. Of course, he still wouldn't do whatever I'd asked, but at least I knew he heard me, he just didn't think it was important.
And my short term memory is declining. I may be down to 30 seconds.

She actually went and made the sandwich. What's nuts is that, had I asked her to make me a sandwich, she would have said no.

Have I unlocked the secret to getting women to do what you want? Is there a cypher somewhere that will help us break this code?

No offense to Merdeisel, but I knew an absolutely beautiful woman who had the opportunity to be around the Maloof brothers a few years ago. She learned all kinds of things about certain players that I would never share on a public forum. I guess that's just me.
Not even for cash money?

Not even privately, my friend.
Who cares about that? What I want to know is do you have the beautiful woman's phone number?

Inquiring minds will always want to know...
I see where you're coming from but come on now, It's not like I told you his **** size.
If anything it's a good thing for Spencer. Who knows, maybe it will get people to be a bit more patient with him and let him grow up a bit.

I hope that Hawes has a solid game tonight.
