I know the boards are getting flooded with all these Jameer threads, but it seems like we're not the only ones talking about this.

It wasn't just Alston that missed open shots. The whole **** team did. We have an inside out game. When the crash on Dwight he made almost every pass to our shooters and they missed. A lot. SVG better be doing some game planning. But in the end it comes down to us making our shots. Live by the three, die by the three.

well, when Rafer misses 4 consecutive shots, he's lucky he saw that much time. Alston is the true definition of "inconsistent".

i am really frustrated hearing this whole rafer nonsense. HE IS NOT THE REASON OUR TEAM IS DOING SO WELL! my gooodness, his weaknesses are in the worst spots, JAMEER'S STRENGTHS. Rafer does not control the game when jameer is on the bench, Hedo does. I don't get why people think he is helping us soo much..If he is making his shots, fine he is contributing, but JJ can contribute.. The thing is when Rafer shoots I cringe, EVERY TIME. he hurts us alot of times, and still gets credit at the end of the game for leading the team.

 

I love the guy, I think he has a great attitude, understands the game VERY well, and can control a game if need be. But SVG doesn't give him that choice, it's Hedo..If we did some sort of statistic where it says who controls the ball most on this team with Jameer out, I would bet a good amount it's Hedo.

 

With all that said, going back to the article. Jameer coming back hurts nothing and no one.. It gives us a spark, another passer, a leader, a person who truly understands how this team works..It's not like we signed a big name FA for the postseason. If Rafer plays like garbage in the first quarter, then what happened tonight should happen again. If he comes out with a focus and an energy, plays smart basketball, then Jameer should lose minutes. I think last night Jameer played so much becasue Rafer was playing SO TERRIBLY. That's all, Rafer and the team need to come out more focused next game, and people will not even talk about who plays what minutes and how long.

So Meer was the reason Rafaer missed what was it 3 open shots, 2 and layups?

I call BS.

This is worse than Kobe's under-bitting growl...

 

Yea, I know it looked cool when LeBron does it, but it's just very disturbing when you do it.

I can shoot a higher percentage from half court than Alston can with his layups.

Combine that look with his pointy, deformed ears, and he looked like a goblin from Lord of the Rings.
