He was the highest scorer in the match today with the 3rd most attempts.
He was the second highest rebounder in the game today.
He had the equal most assists, but they were eliminated by the turnovers.
I'm fine with him being criticized when he's deserving of it.
Was it his best game? No
Does he need to quit whinging? Yes
Does he need to take better care of the ball? Yes
But JT is basically copping all the blame around here when 6 of our 9 man rotation didn't show up anywhere near close to the level they can. These 6 did not move without the ball to provide JT and Smart with better offensive options to pass to and were as much to blame for the turnovers. If JT didn't pass everyone would be whinging about the ISO crap.
I think this board is pooping the bed far more than JT did.
You don't think his turnovers, missed fts, and not getting back on d could be the difference between a W and an L? It's a huge problem. It needs to be fixed going forward.
Of course it's a contributing factor. Even Jayson would say he needs to be better. But he's not even close to the main issue today, but is being talked about as if he is.
