Jeez everyone hates Jarret Jack

I agree with everything mojo has stated on this topic thus far.

-

To make it clear, I have NEVER stated I hate Jack and
I cant recall anyone else stating that aswell. BUT aslong
as the guy thinks hes a PG he will never reach his potential.
What really gets me is Jack is held to a double standard, hes
inconsistent, turns the ball over more then anyone on the team
& handles the ball way to much. If you dont believe that then take
off your homer hat. Anyway, im not going to rehash what mojo wrote.

All of this doesnt matter tho, Jack will be traded, its just a matter of time.

I also agree with Mojo's comments.

I don't dislike Jack, but Jack's aggressive tendencies, while welcomed some games, becomes more of a detriment than a help.

His turnover ratio for a guard, and he does end up with the ball in his hands allot in Nates system, is TERRIBLE.

Jack does have value in this league and will have a good career, but with Rudy coming over and with what I think is a need for a pure 3 -point shooter & defensive player to put next to Roy he is and should be expendable.

Again...I don't really anticipate he'll be on the team next season. And after this exchange we're engaged in, he'll likely go out tonight and absolutely stink up detroit, if only to make me look the fool for tacitly defending him.

I guess I called that one...5 turnovers early in the 3rd quarter

I won't defend him again...even if I've been drinkin

Atleast you admit wrongs after defending a point of view.
Many in this world dont!!

I think we can all agree Jack isnt a bad player, hes just
trys to do what he cant which gets him & the team in trouble.

i reallly don't understand why he gets so much playing time...
possible reason might be to boost his trade value,, but he's current playing isn't doing him any favours...

Why is it, that someone with good speed, good finishing skills, and pretty good ball handling skills can't combine all 3 on a fast break to save his life?

Lack of vision.

Reasons why I hate Jack:

1. Tunnel vision. Just sees himself & the basket. Really nothing else, the guy never passes unless he's got his dribble tied up.

2. Always looks really high.

i don't hate him, i really like him, but i've only seen what? like 6 games of the blazers this season and i have seen some points of how many game after game go against him because of his mistakes and not making the right decisions.

i think that he is a valuable player and will have a steady nba carreer, he can do good things on offense and good things on defense, plus he seems to have a great character and attitude, willing to work and work and work, things GMs and coaches like.

and i think that's why nate and maybe kp like him, as a player on the team or as an asset for a trade.

Jarrett Jack shall now be known as The Human Turnover.

By my accounting a nice shinny head outweighs all negatives.

Edit:
I'm sure Nate agrees.

Maybe him being bald makes him not the smartest player??

Jacks seems like a good guy & good teammate.
But when Nate has double standards for Jack it
just hurts the team. Thats why he needs to go.

who else can get to the rim like J. Jack? Roy is about the only one, that's why Nate favors him. Portland is already a settling jump shot team, without Jack it would be ridiculous.

Why did I think Nate was bald? I never noticed he has hair.
