Weird to see Sidery calling out a Suns player because he's usually a huge homer.

Jackson is our best playmaker without Book. Might as well call it a season if there's not another move.

Just thinking something similar....Jackson is 0-5 from 3 and 1-11 overall. While you should take open 3s, you need to feel confident taking them or you are going to miss them. People still need to stick with TJ because he will score or cut and score. They will simply stop guarding you if you launch and miss 3s.

The notion "he will improve his 3 because he is willing to take them in games" is very bad because there are guys that take way too many 3s when they should not...Westbrook even being one of them.

Haha...just taking hate because he has haters...he's played 7 minutes, not missed a shot with 4 points, 2 ASSISTS, 0 turnovers, a steal and a rebound. Only guy on the team without a negative +/- other than Ayton who is +1

Based on how Jackson, Anderson and Bridges have played thus far in pre season, Ariza and Warren are still my two favorite forwards on the team.

And both times were assists.

I do not know where is the problem about knowing your limitations.

I prefer that than shooting the ball with a bad percentage.

0-5 is better than 0-0? Learn something every day. Even if neither are efficient yet I'd rather neither shoot any.

He couldn't net us that after they did what they did..Fox is their guy..he is their face right now pretty much. Not that I'd really want him anyway.

Funny thing is Warren is almost always productive, at least offensively, and even when other guys can't hit the broadside of the barn and Warren hasn't missed a shot and has 2 assists in 7 minutes when they say he never passes, and also a steal in those 7 minutes, they complain about TJ on twitter. It's hilarious.

I understand what he is not good at, but he's still one of the best players on the team, that isn't just necessarily a role player (3D or spot up 3 guy).

Yes we would just be trading a non-shooter in Jackson for a non-shooter in Fox.

Probably JJ's motto.

Edit: this is a great life quote....not a good thing to live by when you can't shoot.

I mean if JJ dont shoot it, who will? Ariza and Anderson have been passing instead of trying to create some kind of offense. Same for Cannon. Chandler really doesnt do anything on offense. Its between JJ and Warren to try to score.

Ive also notice that the defenders are noticing this trend and have been collapsing on JJ when he reaches 20-25 feet. They dont have to really worry about our other players (Besides Ayton who they triple team).
