I'd prefer Jrue Holiday to Hill as well.
LOL, that coming from someone that wanted Brandon-I shoot 28% from the field-Jennings. ROFLMAO.
Brandon Jennings has this thing called natural talent and elite athleticism.
He said he felt bad he didn't get him in the game, but he felt New York's guards were playing at a high, intense level.

After Wednesday's practice, Eddie Jordan talked about not playing Holiday. He said he felt bad he didn't get him in the game, but he felt New York's guards were playing at a high, intense level.
Jordan said he didn't feel comfortable tossing Holiday into that situation, but he left reporters feeling like he simply wanted to preserve Holiday's psyche.
and many of you guys wanted him ...lol
get him Toney!!!!!
Who did u want at 8 Paeds?
At the same time Jordan is sending messages to the team in general. He just got through calling Elton Brand selfish after our game. Jordan should have owned up and said "He was trying to win a meaningless Pre-Season almost at all costs and wasn't thinking about the rookie". The inserting of his starters back into the line-up late in the 4rth said it all. Some of these coaches are funny dudes.
"I like that he's aggressive," Jordan said of the player the Sixers signed in the summer of 2008 to a 5-year, $80 million contract. "He's putting the shoulder down, he's really looking to be assertive in the paint area."
Then came the caveat.
"I want him to execute a little better, as far as spacing for his teammates, his cutting for his teammates, not for himself," Jordan said.
Don't read too much more into it than need be. Jordan knows all his players are overloaded with what he wants them to do at both ends of the floor. He also knows full well that Brand is trying to rediscover himself at the same time. That's where the imbalance comes in.

I'm pretty sure the underline "he" refers to Eddie Jordan, not Jrue Holiday, so therefor it doesn't mean Holiday was scared to play against NY's guards.
The underline "it" if refers to the above quote.
