See Section, this is what I used to post before you started giving me pointers.
And now you've chosen to go the route of StR math

Don't get it. 1.2?
Lowest common denominator
3 game winning streak

And Minnisota tomorrow without Love

Delicious victory

I LIKE MY ICE T SERVED COLD

what a game. Especially since I only watched the 2nd half

Nothing to see in the first :)
Same! Got home in time to see the 4th quarter. I think we lucked out
Oh yeahhh

Is that Jerry Reynolds?

Or Gary Gerrald

SUPER BOWL ROPE GUY APROVES!!

oh fuck that, didnt work
Always preview :)
Hey Hornets

You got Spanked

Guys I'm too happy to do a recap right now

That was freaking amazing.

YES SIR!!

Take a moment to reflect on that wonderful fourth.

Theres your recap right there

Here's the video of that epic dagger three by Isaiah

Hope he and DMC get a mention nationally tonight
28/19 after a 21/20 game gets you national attention.

Plays like this tomorrow, and has a good showing against OKC and Cousins could get WC player of the week.

Great win

but also kind of a “fool’s gold” win because they had no business being down 18 to the Hornets in the first place.

::bouncer coming over::

GTFO!

The banhammer needs more blood for fuel

lol at folks balking at reality
Save it for the recap lol, this was great!
Right, which is why first thing i said was GREAT WIN

take a chill pill

this is the no but thread
Totally

If Fredette had stayed in, we never would’ve been down to begin with.

LOL we were down and got worse when he was in

Are you guys really suggesting getting behind was Jimmer's fault?

I seriously hope this is sarcasm. If not, go look at a replay of the game. During the stretch when Jimmer came in, we made up about six points. Then when it was IT and Jimmer, we went back down. Jimmer and Evans is a good combination. Jimmer and IT is a bad combination.

The only person with a worse +/- was Garcia

9.5 minutes, 1 assist and 2 fouls

I didn’t say it was his fault, I am saying the guys were not clicking well together..Just saying our defense is horrible with him and IT or him and thornton

While Jimmer was on the floor

The Kings had a 7-2 and a 7-1 run. But, yeah. No doubt it was his fault they fell behind.

Especially his 1 assist in the first 30 seconds

and his 2 and 3 pointers in the 2 following minutes.

Not at all

I’m suggesting that its ridiculous to claim that we don’t need to see a defensive effort from him as long as his shots are falling.

I’m guilty of bringing an “argument” from another thread into this one, which i’ll be the first to admit is a shitty and low-blow of a move. Either way, a win is a win, and whining about how we got it is just as lame of a move.

Didn't watch the first half myself so can't say much about it

however, when Jimmer came in he played a little over 7 minutes with Reke the Kings played evenly with the Hornets, they didn’t make up 6 points. When IT came in and he and Jimmer played together though they went -5.

Three line-ups when Jimmer was in

Prior to Jimmer coming in, the previous three line-ups were -9, -2, and 0.

Jimmer, Evans, Salmons, Hickson, Hayes were +4
Jimmer, Evans, Garcia, Hickson, Hayes, were -4
Jimmer, IT, Garcia, Hickson, Hayes were -2
Jimmer, IT, Thornton, Hickson, Hayes were -1

But I’m sure we were in a hole because of Jimmer. It had to be his terrible D.

I didn't watch the first half so no clue about the whole Jimmer D thing but either way sounds really suspect

that beig said, some of those lineups are incorrect

Jimmer, IT, Garcia, Hickson, Hayes were -2

Jimmer, IT, Garcia, Hayes, Cousins were -2

Jimmer, IT, Thornton, Hickson, Hayes were -1

Jimmer, IT, Thornton, Hayes, Cousins were -3

Blame old eyes and late hour on the east coast where I am right now.

Thanks for the fix.

Numbers dont lie

Therefore, your point has been proven well.

But pulling a quote out of thin air to use as a crutch to keep the argument going is unnecessary. Nobody stated that we went into a hole because of Jimmer’s lack of defense, unless you count the time when you just did.

This was the exact comment
LOL we were down and got worse when he was in

Take it for what you will. I’m sure it was a compliment and I just missed it. Seriously guys. Even in a win there are people on this site that have to take a swipe at Jimmer. And you wonder why this back and forth BS goes on and on.

I am not taking swipes at him soecifically..I am sayign that i didnt like the lineups smart was using at that part. and i said in the next post

didn’t say it was his fault, I am saying the guys were not clicking well together..Just saying our defense is horrible with him and IT or him and thornton
Understand

And not arguing specifically with you. When Jimmer is on the floor, I really prefer Evans to be on the floor too. That seems to work well. For whatever reason, Jimmer and It always makes me cringe. Both of them want to be bringing the ball up the floor, IT doesn’t seem to be very fond of passing to Jiimmer, and they are a bad defensive combination right now.

I wouldn't say he's not fond of passing to Jimmer

But I do agree they make a poor defensive combo.

I have no idea how we'd find out

But it just seems like every time they are on the floor, IT passes to someone other than Jimmer. Maybe it’s just a perception thing. But it feels like the two are competing with each other on the floor rather than playing together.

Think you're reading a bit much there
Like I said

It’s purely anecdotal on my part.

Jimmer and any guard

make a poor defensive combo. :)

Well

I know it’s popular to say how bad Jimmer is on defense. And Thomas is amazing. But actually they are only two point apart in defensive rating. I think it’s more a case of people looking for flaws in Jimmer’s defense so that every time someone scores on him, people are blaming him. But we’ll see.

Two points is a decent difference

Their PER’s against are vastly different.

Two points is saying that in a hundred possessions

Jimmer gives up one more basket than Thomas. To listen to most of this crowd, you would think Jimmer was giving assist to the other team. I know I should quit arguing this point because the anti—Jimmer crowd is going to see what they want to see.

But, especially for a guy who was not asked to play D in college, and has had precious little coaching time in the NBA, Jimmer’s defense is not nearly as bad as many of you guys make it out to be.

Seriously, I'm not an anti-Jimmer guy

But it’s clear who the better player is at that end of the court. And if you don’t like defensive rating, then how about opponent PER? At the PG spot:

Thomas – 10.4, eFG – .453
Fredette – 20.4, eFG – .542

These guys aren’t remotely in the same ballpark. I’m not sure there’s an adjective strong enough to describe Jimmer’s defensive failings right now. It is every bit as bad as many of us are making it out to be.

In how many games?

Against how many starting PGs? Remember again that a good chunk of Jimmer minutes came starting when MT was out and Smart was just taking over. You’re entitled to your opinion. But let’s revisit the stats at the end of the season. Or better yet, after a true off season of training and coaching.

Sounds good

I pulled the detail from 82games.com. According to their minutes breakdown, Isaiah has played 31% of the available PG minutes, and Jimmer has played 34% of the available PG minutes.

Jimmer played pretty good D against the T-Wolves

Good ballhawking and lots of steals. I think the sitdown might have given him something to think about.

They weren’t even really steals..More like the Wolves were passing it right to him..I am rewatching this game now, and they literally passed it right to him like 3 times

He still has to catch it

Hickson, for example, might have turned those “steals” into Wolves baskets.

Granted, but when it’s a pass directly to your chest, and you have decent hands, its not really hard

I'll take my fools gold over a pile of shit every day of the week
Now you are turning this into another Fire Westphal thread
I don't care if it's a win against a bad team, I'll take it

and second, I personally thought of this as a tough trap game before it started given we knew before the game their starts were out and the Love stuff. The Hornets don’t give up either.

IT'S TIME FOR SOME POLE DANCING AND SOME TITS!!!
