one thing that I should have looked up, yet never did - who the hell wrote that article on a "defensive Jefferson" putting us in playoff mix!?

Seeing a joke of a roster last night actually has me missing this guy and I've been one of his most vocal detractors this year. I definitely hate Cho more than anything about this team.

You could keep adding to that video, but it would eventually become so long it would stop the internet. I don't miss him out there one bit. I just wish our staff had the **** to play him on the second unit when he returns. The person who wrote the article should be fired

Cho might be tryna tank on the low now that Higgins ain't around. Higgins might've been in Cho's way of continuing the tank like Hinkie on the Sixers for year after year after year. Afterall he did sign Messy Marv and Urkel Roberts. I don't even wanna hear about he tried to sign Gordon Hayward because that was dumb or a smart coverup to the blind knowing that Utah would match and all the good players would be signed before the Jazz decided to match.

Funny how Al went from the GOAT that was the only reason we won last year to the SCAPEGOAT that's every reason why we lose this year.

He deserves credit for what he did through the majority of last season, but it was not sustainable.

Now he's back to being the guy that no team other wanted to spend a pretty penny on.

I'm not a fan of the flat out disrespect of one of our best players period. It's distasteful and childish and borderline ignorant at this point.

Albus has been out of shape which eventually resulted in him getting injured logging heavy minutes with a lot of dependency.

His job, which he gets paid very well to do, is to be ready to help this team win. He chose to come into the season in pathetic shape. He deserves some ridicule for being to lazy to do his job properly.

Plus no one is asking Al to shoot over double and triple teams. But in his head he has to "carry the team."

Him being outta shape is another example of him being lazy and selfish. Stop dunking cookies and doughnuts and start dunking the basketball. His teammates are doing there part, why should he get away with it. Biz spent his offseason doing crossfit and getting better. MKG worked on his shot. Zeller hit the weight room and got stronger. If it were Lance instead of Al, he would get constant ridiculing over it.

To be consistent, Lance came into the season out of shape too and that's part of the reason why he's having hamstring and groin injuries. There you go.

I totally agree and have made it clear in the past that I am not happy with him. I have posted that I would trade him, and I wanted that deal earlier in the week. Most fans feel this way about Lance, so the question is, why does Al get the royal treatment from a lot of people? He has been as much and probably more of the problem than Lance.

And Lance has been attacked about it all season. Why should it not happen for Al as well?

What royal treatment do Al get from a lot of people? The only person that give him royal treatment is Clifford and I hate the fact that Clifford do.

My stance with Al is that he's one of the few maybe 2-3 players out of 15 on our team that can actually put the ball in the basket. And although he can't play defense for sh*t we still had and have a top 5 defense with him on the floor. I think we could consistently win big and not blow leads despite his bad defense if Cliff subbed him out when it's obvious that teams are going to exploit his pick-and-roll defense for 8 minutes straight in the 4th quarter.

LamarMatic7 · Post #19 » by **LamarMatic7** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 6:55 pm

There's always the possibility of giving him the Chicago Carlos Boozer treatment. Let him play first and third quarters.

I don't see anything that radical concerning Al happening this season though.

I do agree with that, however the problem is that want happen. Again, Clifford favors Al and will do whatever to keep him happy. You can bet Al want be happy if he can't get his. That would expose his attitude the way Lance was exposed, but it want happen because of the royal treatment.
