James Johnson and his lack of minutes

[JWiLL02]

All I've learned in this thread is that James Johnson is better than Ross and GV even though he's likely still drunk from the night before.

Agreed, but as Jack would say, GET THAT GARBAGE OUTTA HERE. If you wanna develop a good culture (think SA), you don't reward such behaviour.

This sounds like the same narrative we heard during the BC days. That certainly ended well.

I want our most effective players on the court and JJ is one of them. A player shooting 60% from the field, with a PER of 17, who has the ability to be a difference maker on both sides of the ball should not be getting DNP-CDs.

The team has had a couple shakey wins against weak competition the past few games...which is nice because a win is a win. But this whole starting GV, moving our All Star PG off ball style of play isn't going to win us anything long term.

We need JJ for the playoffs.

Demar was a horribly inefficient player last year, and continues to be one this season. He does some things well, but he also has a ton of flaws. Whether you want to call him a all-star or not doesn't matter (it's just a silly label). The reality is that he's a good player, but not even close to a great one.

And our record was just over .500 without Demar because we went through the toughest part of our entire schedule during that time. It's more than likely that we would have had the same record with him in the lineup.

WTF are you even talking about? Horribly inefficient?

You are aware that we all watched last season and can verify you haven't even the slightest clue.

This site has some of the brightest posters, and some of the dumbest. Guess what side you are on?

According to your sound logic, most SG's in the league are "horribly inefficient" compared to what Demar put up last season. See, if you just spoke to facts, opposed to your silly narrative that is almost insulting in that you might believe I am dumb enough, ignorant enough, and possibly I do not even watch games, that I would mildly accept your absurd opening sentence in your ignorant statement above.

The only thing you accomplished is showing me that you are not worth paying attention to.

He was ranked 36th overall among SGs in TS% last year and 14th among SGs with usage rates over 20%.

That's not good efficiency by any stretch of the imagination.

Keep ignoring facts though if that makes you feel better.

But but....ur not worth paying attention too. We apparently all watch the games last year lol.

Said it before and I'll say it again, why not just play JJ instead of Hansbrough if he really does like to go small. Other option would be to hope Ross steps up again and Vasquez is back on the bench.

So now offensive efficiency is distilled down to just one statistic? Will wonders never cease.

a few people here are realistic about what's going on but the majority are in denial...it's not caseys fault jj can't be a pro off the court...and no you don't reward players for that type of behaviour ever

I asked EKOREEN and Wolstat and what's up with JJ and EKOREEN responded to me on Twitter. How do I post the response on here?

Casey is definitely an idiot...

You need to stop running your mouth about facts and logic.

Take a look at his FG% for last year, it was his 2nd worst FG% year through his entire career (not counting this terrible year)..

.429 from FG and .303 from 3pt is not horribly inefficient? Okay then.... what does it take?

Rudy Gay the ULTIMATE CHUCKER and CANCER shot .482 FG and .312 3pt for sac after he left that year mid season... This year? Chucker boy Rudy is at .448 and .378 ...

DeMar is not, has not, and will NEVER be an efficient offensive player. PERIOD. Get that through your head. You have a player that can get buckets at a high level and that is literally all. You give him enough shots, you will get enough points...

This year ... .403 fg% and .233 3pt% ... absolutely TERRIBLE. One of THE WORST shooting guards (edit forgot we made him a 3 guard, shouldnt call him a shooting guard anymore) in the league looking at those two numbers in isolation.

Casey is stubborn, he will cause the team to lose a game just to make a point, look no further than the Pelicans game.

LOL wut?

He had GV on Evans when his best perimeter player is on the bench, why didn't he insert him for that one play?

Casey doesent deliberately try to lose games, but he does coach not to lose rather than to win. All he does is play with fire and hopes he doesent get burned. He doesent coach to win, to put his mark on the game. He just lets the other Coach dictate the game, and hopefully his counter (no matter how questionable it might look) works out.

My twitter rant from earlier,

@WolstatSun @ekoreen can one of you media guys ask Casey why James Johnson isn't playing when Ross and Vasquez have been trash the whole yr!

@wolstat @ekoreen we brought him in b/c we got abused by big SFs yet our coach starts Demar at the 3 & plays Trashquez at sg who shoots 39%

@ekoreen: @YaBoyAplus @WolstatSun It's been asked. If you don't like the answer, that is a different issue.

@ekoreen well what was the answer, I must of missed it....

@ekoreen: @YaBoyAplus starting both PGs limits # of minutes available for bench wings. Not sure it holds up to scrutiny, but that's the answer.

@ekoreen that's BS! Why limit JJ minutes when he's actually been playing well. So now we have no backup pg and a starting sg who shoots 39%?

@ekoreen: @YaBoyAplus Just because you disagree with it doesn't mean it's not the reason. (I disagree with it, too.)

@ekoreen please challenge his reasoning the next opportunity you can b/c we are going to need JJ more than Vasquez, possibly even Ross later...
