Comments on: The ‘start Jonas Jerebko’ movement gains some national steam

I still think Prince should start because he is a dependable ball handler and passer and is one of the best players in nba history at not turning the ball over. Jerebko starting would be infinitely more palatable if he brought some of those qualities or if Knight and Monroe were capable of averaging at least 1 turnover a game less each. Maybe they can but I would need to see them do it before I would agree that Jerebko should get consideration. At least I won’t have to watch Ben Gordon’s misadventures of handling the ball for the Pistons anymore.

“You’ve kept all my comments on files”

I didn’t do that. It’s just kind of how the internet works.

“ all I do is write my opinion and just becuase I don’t agree with every single opinion the media or Chad Ford(your closet bf) says you attack me”

Nope. Zero issue with you disagreeing with anyone. What’s aggravating are both your unwillingness to back up any of your more outlandish opinions with data that supports it and your willingness to say that people who do things like talk to sources or are plugged into the league have zero credibility. That’s not disagreeing with them. There’s a difference. If you can say that Chad Ford or Zach Lowe or whoever has no credibility for an opinion they express, why can’t I say you have no credibility for thinking Charlie Villanueva is better than Ryan Anderson?

Hahahaha, wow Pat I didn’t know you cared!! You’ve kept all my comments on files, I’m blushing right now knowing I have a secret admirer…Then to finish it all up you call me the L. James of trolling…That’s truly classy bro, all I do is write my opinion and just becuase I don’t agree with every single opinion the media or Chad Ford(your closet bf) says you attack me…I’m still not seeing where I said “Gordon is starting caliber player”…Go through more of your secret files and dig that up for me…

@Tarsier: I see your still trying to be cool by co-signing…Be yourself buddy…

I mean no disrespect with that compilation. Jodi is an artist when it comes to commenting. It takes just the right mix to hit all of the points of a terrible comment — outlandish opinion supported by no data, being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and calling anyone who dares have a more reasonable opinion names. Many people get one or maybe two of those things into their comments, but not many people can get all of them into nearly every comment they post. He does it almost every time. He’s like the Lebron James of trolly commenting.

This would be rotation -

Knight/Stuckey
English/Stuckey
Singler/Middleton
Monroe/Jerebko
Drummond/Monroe

I’d go 8 man rotation of our best young players and tell the rest of the roster to forfeit their contracts and leave if they don’t like it.

We need shooters in the SL. Stuckey is a better PG than Bynum. 2 upgrades with 1 move. Upgrade shooting in the SL with English. Upgrade backup PG with Stuckey.

Singler is an upgrade over Tay from an energy standpoint and just pure playmaking ability. He impacts the game, Tayshaun does not.

Drummond upgrades defense, rebounding, shotblocking, and PIP over Maxiell.

4 capable shooters – Knight, English, Middleton, and Singler. 3 Inside scorers in Stuckey, Drummond, and Monroe. And a little of both with Jerebko. Much better balance than this current rotation. Gets the young guys big minutes, develops more chemistry being tighter rotation, and imo will result in more wins just from the pur passion and effort these young guys will give every night cmpared to the old bums who dont care anymore about winning.

When Tay said he preferred to sign with a lottery team over a contender, that shouldve been all Joe needed to hear that this guy is not about winning anymore.

I give JJ no chance to start over Tayshaun. Haven’t we all been paying enough attention to the way this organization has been run to even discuss it as a possibility? I do think we badly need to trade Tayshaun, because his replacements are finally ready, and seven million bucks is too much to pay for veteran leadership and little else. Veteran leadership costs the vet’s minimum.

I’m sure we’d all look bad if someone compiled some sort of “greatest hit list” for us. But Jodi’s is special in that it doesn’t require hindsight to see the flaws.

Just for the fun of it, since Jodi is fond of calling several writers incompetent, let's take a look at some of his greatest hits (yeah, I have nothing better to do right now):

Never change Jodi. Never change.

@Pat: I never said he was a starting caliber player, but I did say he’s a good player…I always compared Ben Gordon to Vinnie Johnson…

@Tarsier: I like UCONN players(no homo), I can’t deny that…Charlie V would be decent player if he was given the right opportunity…Atlanta or Phoenix would be nice fits for him…

This is why I’m excited for the regular season to start. I can understand experimenting during preseason, but he’s got to tighten up and start winning. If the starters can get it back to 3 but the bench loses 21 points, then point made. Bench can’t complain. Let’s move on and start coaching to win.
