Jarvis Hayes!?!?!

Detroit Pistons reserve forward Jarvis Hayes came in today and had a riot on national TV. Hayes scored 29 points, tying a career-high. He hit seven three pointers, setting a career-high, and he shot 10-13 from the field. Hayes was the man for the Pistons today coming off the bench, and the Pistons beat up on the Hornets 105-84.

Hayes is averaging 6.5 ppg on the season and his production and minutes have dropped considerably since the beginning of the season.

Hayes is a chucker, a guy that likes to shoot the rock when he gets it and he's very streaky, today was one of those days. I don't expect to see more games similar to this from Hayes this year. If Hayes can somehow find a way to give them 40-50% of his effort today on a consistent basis, it will make the Pistons a much more serious contender.

So to the announcers; don't call this guy Hayes "The Microwave" just yet.
