why we need to get rid of jameer nelson!

I don’t think it is fair to expect Jameer to be a defensive stopper as a <6ft PG. He’s not. We all know that.

But, as you allude, it is a team game and team-wise, Orlando does pretty well. Jameer’s physical strength makes him pretty good at fighting over/through screens…which not a few of the league’s taller point guards are not wiling to do.

btw, nobody really stops the top PGs in the league from getting into the lane….that’s the new NBA. No hand-checking. And Billups was in All-Star form (i.e. the top in the league) when he used to score over Nelson.

Like I said, Jameer has his flaws, but he’s not the problem with the Magic. Some of the reasons I think we lost the Boston series are:
> wing defense (Pierce and Allen killed us),
> Lewis was sick,
> Boston had the greater heart-and-hustle (Orlando has some, but Boston’s was more consistent),
> got away from the P&R offense entirely too much (1/2, 1/5, 2/5),
> and no wing player consistently able to get to the rim and either finish or get to the line.

Looking at the list, imo, Carter was more of a problem in the ECF than Jameer (but that’s for another thread….we’ve been over it ad infinitum).

Rondo’s season averages are: 13.7ppg on 50.8fg%, 9.8 apg in 36.5 mpg.
ECF stats?: 14.3ppg on 42.3 fg%, 8 apg in 42+ mpg.

Looks like Nelson’s/Orlando’s defense matches how the rest of the league, over the course of the season, handles Rondo….maybe slightly better…-8% on fg%

So, while it may look like Nelson’s defense is the team’s biggest hole, the numbers tell a little different story.

I liked it, it made me feel good about my spelling.

Its hard to follow with all the missing punctuation and misspellings. If I’m not mistaken, he is saying that we need an upgrade over Nelson. That or Mop and Glo isn’t the best to wax wood floors. I haven’t quite figured it out yet.

If you ever used Microsoft Word-

1. your paragraphs would look like christmas trees because EVERYTHING would be underlined.

2. it would delete everything you wrote and replace it with
    “Please stop typing and enroll in your nearest elementary school.
     Thank you and come back when you have a third grade education”

3. your computer would contact the Microsoft Corp. and track down every teacher you ever
    had and punch them in the face.

4. your computer would shut down because it would think it was in the year 1542, before
    everyone but the worlds richest had the luxury of education

5. your computer would just simply explode

but it’s hard for me to take something like this serious.

And I quote,
“I was scared Orlando Magic fans!”
I really think we should trade Peaches and re-sign Matt to that type of contract. We’ve had a revolving door at the 2 and 3 for quite some time now. Once we are set there, we should be able to win a few ’ships.

I remember footage of this kid playing one-on-one with Jamal Crawford (who is a Seattle resident), and Crawford schooled the kid. He might only be 11 years old, but a loss is a loss.

Paul makes $14.9 milion, Williams makes $14.9 million and Nelson makes $8.1 million. (Rose is still under his rookie contract at $5.5).

But sure, if I could get Paul or Williams for Nelson money I’d do it in a heart beat, but for what Jameer is paid he is a good deal.

There aren’t any reasonable, available alternatives to Nelson.
