Jv isn't that good. Pretty medoirce defender, efficient offensive player, good rebounder. Hes no where on the level as Noah, hortford, etc. He really hasn't improved during the three years hrs been here. People should stop expecting him to suddenly become an all star.

 

Everyone probably said the same thing about Marcin Gortat when he was coming up.

[dineke]

People have a problem with JV? Really? The dude is 22 and already a starting caliber C. Big men usually take a longer time to develop than guards... Guys like Noah and Marc Gasol weren't even in the league yet at 22.

Lou Williams and James Johnson have easily been our best second unit players.

[burlingtonbandit]

Holy s*** these Refs are bad. They aren't calling any fouls at all. Reminds me of the Ted Donahue story of how they would bet money on who could go the longest without calling fouls. Would not be surprised if these guys have a bet on this game between themselves.

Well it sure as hell hasn't been Vasquez or Handsborough lol.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

This second unit is horrible when Patterson isn't making his shot. Basically just GV and Lou dribbling around in circles with absolutely zero rebounding presence on the floor.

 

Hansborough is terrible. He should not be playing more than 8-10 MPG.

I think hes in there cuz they don't want to give too many mins to Amir.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

This is the difference between a good coach and a bad coach. A good coach makes adjustments and tightens the rotation when necessary.

 

Your second unit is clearly not clicking right now and Vasquez is killing us. How can you let them play almost half the game like this?

 

Just waiting for JV to get benched for the rest of the game because of some minor mistake.

So give extra minutes to your 22 year old centre who has barely played this year..... Hansborough should be in there for 3 minute spurts. Let JV play 35 minutes.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Getting destroyed on the fastbreak by a team who played last night.

 

This is really ugly.

Ever thought of maybe he doesn't have the stamina to play 35 min/night? The guy he is pretty heavy and doesn't seem in the best shape..

Dude its the first f***in half. You sounds like you are going jump off a bridge because the raps are down a few in the first half. Look at the queefs tonight. Theyre losing to the 76ers of the NHL.

Well I think we can both agree that he should be playing more than the 23 minutes that he's currently playing

I would say so. Biggest reason the team is losing though is the non-calls. I mean Lowry just got hacked on that last second attempt and no call. I don't believe for a second one of the best teams at getting to the line has only 2 FT attempts by coincidence.

[Orgfiller]

Much better effort to start the half.

[dineke]

I don't know why JV bothers pump faking when everyone knows he's not shooting.

[burlingtonbandit]

Wow that was such an athletic play by Ross. Ball was passed away from the rim and he went back and got it.

[burlingtonbandit]

I don't know why JV bothers pump faking when everyone knows he's not shooting.

 

Its gotten to the point where its just a habit.

[Orgfiller]

JV has 14/13. Yeah...

[burlingtonbandit]

Am I the only one that really hates the Lou Iso at the end of quarters? He's made a couple but more often than not he bricks that crossover jumpshot.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

They just can't finish this f***ing team.

 

Starters should be on right now.

[Orgfiller]

Please be okay JJ

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Oh FFS. JJ please be ok.

[Orgfiller]

Completely twisted his ankle. Hopefully it passes.

[burlingtonbandit]

Get some ice on that ankle asap! Hopefully he can play against his former team.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

They don't play again until Wednesday so hopefully he doesn't miss any time... Would've been nice to see him finish this game at the 4 spot tonight. Patterson isn't doing anything well and Amir is a pylon out there right now.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Lmfao how are the starters not on the floor right now.

 

This is madness.

 

Hilarious.

lol jinxed it

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Huge 3.

 

Now get your starters back in and close out this f***ing game.

[burlingtonbandit]

Damn Cavs are killing the Hawks right now. 40 point lead.
