Jason Collier had 22 against WASHINGTON!?!

Jason who? I thought this was an NBA forum, you know, about basketball.

 

nWo34Life,

I agree with you. I really liked JC's hustle when he was here & felt that he never really got a chance to develop his game. It's good to see him doing well in his first 3 games back.

Game 1

33 minutes
4-9 FGM/A
8-8 FTM/A
5 Rebounds
0 Blocks
5 PF's
16 PTS

Game 2

31 minutes
4-7 FGM/A
3-4 FTM/A
3 Rebounds
1 Blocks
5 PF's
11 PTS

Game 3

26 minutes
7-8 FGM/A
8-9 FTM/A
5 Rebounds
1 Blocks
6 PF's
22 PTS

He's going to have to watch those fouls though.

 

I am waiting for someone to bash the cheap management for letting Collier go.

 

I wouldn't call them cheap, just nonvisionary.

 

Guys we let a player go that leads the NBA....in Fouls per Game. I bet Mike Wilks can go for 20 a night if he played on Atlanta.

 

Mike did play in Atlanta and his career high is 19 points

 

So, you're saying you wouldn't want that kind of scoring from a reserve player, just because he's getting a lot of fouls? I don't think anyone here believes that Collier will ever be more than a solid role player. But, a guy that size, that works hard on the floor & has a nice shooting touch, could help most teams. Besides, the fouls will most likely taper off in time.

Although, 3 games does not a career make. It's just good to see that what Rudy saw in Collier, may actually be starting to come out.

 

I like Collier.
I think he did not get a good shake here
he could not find a way to get in

But he had a good shot and soft hands
[the man could catch the ball in traffic unlike Cato]

Rocket River
glad to see him doing well
