u saw him on a night when he wasn't playing well... go to more games & you'll see him be a catalyst for the offense out there too... he's inconsistent & very streaky... when he's on, he's literally unstoppable, & it's a beautiful thing to watch
Yes, but he's a 38% shooter. If you're saying the success of the team relies on a 38% shooter being unstoppable, I think we're in trouble. I also saw how the offense stagnates when he's running the offense. Marbury and Francis are much better distributors than Chuckford. I think Chuckford needs to step into a Rip Hamilton-like role or get traded, because the style that he's been playing holds the entire fate of the team on him getting on a hot streak, which is a risky proposition.
the fate of the team doesn't rest in any 1 players' hands... it depends on the entire team playing well as a unit... that's a different topic... i'm just telling u Craw is not half as bad as u might think he is... you caught him live on a bad night... i've been at games when he absolutely lit up the Garden & let me tell u, there's not a player on this team that can do the things he can do when he's on his game... he's the closest thing to a true star go-to perimeter player that we have when he's got it going... Marbury can be great when he's on his game too, but he's never as unstoppable as Jamal can be at times, & not half as exciting of a player either IMO.
So your view of Chuckford is that he's a poor man's Sprewell? Hmm. That was what I hoped he'd be when he got here, but to some extent, it's been a little disappointing. You're right, though, when he's on, he looks unstoppable, just like Spree did.
Spree? no, he doesn't have the same type of passion or aggression that Spree did, & isn't the physical defender either... Jamal's much more of a finesse & flash type guy... when he's got it going, i see a younger version of Ray Allen in many ways, not as fluid of a jumpshot, but better orchestration & dynamic passing... Jamal's the type of guy who can shoot 0 for 12 in the 1st half & then go off for 30+ in the 2nd half... you really never know if a single made shot or layup will get him going, so i'm always on the edge of my seat when i'm watching him, cuz i always think after a couple made shots in a row, he's going off on another 1 of his tears where he's in the zone & no one can stop him... man, when that happens, i get so amped up watching this kid play.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
