JJ's game can be so weak at times

I was waiting for the first "let me single out one guy" thread after a game in which everyone played like crap. Congrats on winning the race.

forgive me for being mad and disappointed....threads like this is 95% frustration from watching the team you support get beat like dogs.

I understand. And I know you aren't a blind hater. But the blame goes up and down the roster, coaching staff, and (yes) refs tonight. I know you know that, but I figure it's worth saying aloud.

Give credit to Smoove, he delayed the blowout until the middle of the 2nd quarter.

Yeah. It's not like he bitched at refs instead of getting back on D, ignored rebounding, took several stupid jumpers, missed a couple easy layups, and was half-assed closing out on D.

Oh wait...yeah, it is.

Anyone else want to try and give someone significant credit without a significant share of the blame? Because the only player on the roster who didn't do more harm than good tonight was RandMo.

And maybe Teague.

Everyone else was straight terrible. God this team pisses me off so much. We all know of the matchup problems with ORL, but to be down by over 50 at one point? That shows little pride. I don't want to hear about bad matchups, ORL's rest, bad calls...good grief. That was a damn shame of a game.

Teague: 3-9 (2-8 before the practice-style 3 with 5 seconds left), 0 assists, 2 turnovers, and several weak drives. More harm than good for him too.

MAX DEAL!

everyone didn't play like crap, why is it ok for there to be threads about everyone else having a bad game. But as soon as someone does one about Joe. everyone else is to blame.. Joe sucked more than anyone has tonight..

I saw his first couple minutes and then turned it off. Looking at the stats, you are right. Looks like he fit right in. Problem is, he is a bench player...the starters + Craw were just as bad.

Yeah, you're right. No one bashes Joe or defends Smoove around here...jsmoovefan. JJ played like $h!t. So did everyone else. Even your boy, unless you just averted your eyes at all the right times.

There's no sense in assigning relative blame in such a complete, total, and utter collapse.

Absolutely no disagreement from me. They were an embarrassment.

With a little more polish Teague will be shining like sterling silver. Vaccinating himself from anything Mike Woodson related and he's looking at fairly bright future.

Joe was making lazy passes, weak moves to the basket.... just playing overall bad basketball. How can this man think he's worth $25 mill per playing like this on the biggest stage? And I'm a JJ fan! Man he makes it hard to bump for him at times.

I agree to a certain extent, but...

2) sayin.'

Why can't Zaza get some credit?

Had 2 good offensive rebounds and putbacks when he was in in the 2nd quarter, and then dominate Gortat is garbage time...

Smoove didn't play like crap, I'm not arguing with you on that the end .Joe is our best player so you, and the rest of his fans better get over it when we talk about how much he has sucked in a game..

[TheNorthCydeRises]

The 5 turnovers by JJ is unacceptable.

He needs to understand that he may have to be less of a facilitator in this series, and more of a scorer. He only had 6 shot attempts in the 1st half. That's not going to be enough in this series. He's going to have to be waaaay more aggressive than what he played tonight.

Get your shots up JJ and be more aggressive. Less dribbling, and trust your jumper . . because with D-Howard lurking in the lane, the floater may not be the way to go.

Zaza will come up huge in Game 2. I liked the way he played tonight. I know one thing, he should get in the game before Jason Collins.

That's the most frustrating thing with Joe. Either he's making dumb passes or waiting for the defender to bump-n-grind.
