I'm sick of seeing JT ***** on every play.

Boogie's attitude is holding him back. He could be playing a lot better than he is.

I agree on Jason and Demarcus whining over plays. Demarcus is worst because if things are not going his way its a guarantee he is going to commit a couple stupid fouls.

Over. Especially after he didn't get much burn against Atlanta when he played so well against Portland.

Yeah, that **** is getting on my nerves.

He knows if he keeps his emotion under wraps that he'll play better, yet lately he's just been letting it go and not giving a ****.

He's taking us outta the games.

[sfgiants5518]

Id be frustrated too if opposing players keep beating me up without foul calls.

Same thing happen earlier this season. It was the OT game, Demarcus was missing shots and getting frustrated and I told myself he is going to do something stupid, well he did two stupid things, he pushed David West to the ground and got a foul called on him, then the Pacers took a shot that looked like it would not go in and Demarcus did a obvious goaltend. I am not saying we would of won the game, but he basically destroyed any chance of us winning. I was hoping for him to progress this season, but 9 games in and I dont see any improvement.

Has Demarcus ever missed a inside shot that he did not think he was fouled?

[iMac]

Its funny, because last year everyone was like... GET JIMMER OUT, GET ISAIAH IN!

[thesprite]

Cousins, 20+ rebs, 10+ missed shots. Can't Smart start Brooks and Thornton this time?

I was part of the minority of, give jimmer more time because it won't hurt.
Now, I have a jimmer jersey I got for 10 bucks at Sleep Train Arena, and am hoping they give him the keys to a game just once because if smart told jimmer, "Take over the game kid...be confident, and shoot!", then I think he will show he can be a real threat in this league.
Throughout his whole basketball career, he started out slowly, then progressed. He wasn't much of a factor his freshman and sophomore year...then he showed lots of improvement in his PG skills and shooting ability his junior year, then senior year, the world found out bout jimmer land. He can do the same thing in the NBA. I believe it. A guy with that much work ethic, that much range, that much raw ability, that much basketball IQ, and the heart of a leader is destined to be great. And I'm not saying it'll happen this year, but the guy has earned 20 minutes off the bench, if not a starting job.
