well ... it was better than what josh could have done ...
and hey, richardson missed an easier dunk than that the other day
Someone just started a thread titled "Barea is a JOKE" with a couple quick thoughts
Then a someone called viggenja or something like that started one titled “Roddy is a JOKE”, and in the body of the thread….just a stupid emoticon, kinda admitting even he doesn’t believe it.
he misses one a game

You guys think all this "JJ knows the plays better" shit is gonna keep up?
I mean, I like him, but Roddy is so much better. I’d take less playbook for more explosiveness.
they haven't even been running but about half the playbook anyway
with the new guys and no practice time. Roddy has to know those plays
"Drinks are on me if Lewis posts >168IP and an era lower than 3.86." by RangerMad on Jan 20, 2010 12:36 PM PST
JJ has been so scared about losing the #2 spot he hasnt even been running the plays...
He dribbles until there is about 4 seconds left on the shot clock and then puts up and ugly shot or passes to someone so that the violation is on him. The teams that play him multiple times a year all know that he doesn’t have any D and that his two shots are either 3 years where he’s left alone or the 5 ft arch layup and they’ve figured out that’s stoppable.
at this point, it looks like the playbook is about 5 plays, with 1 of those as an iso for dirk.
it has to be some sort of favoritism. i remember when carlisle came in, he said he wanted to find out who could play, and i distinctly remember him gushing about jj. maybe it was because avery had him buried on the bench, where he belonged.
Sexual harassment is no joke, sweet-cans.
JJ Knows the plays
but Beaubois knows how to play. Pretty simplistic to me

barea gets lost off the dribble and flynn gets to the basket. too bad flynn is an idiot and he can’t finish in such a situation.

yeah flynn. mixed bag.
