If we only get 38 wins next year **** will hit the fan!

then you better hope the rookies play great, Sweets and JJ arent fat and Q is the impact player Bonn thinks he is and doesnt shoot < 40% for his FOURTH year in a row. Avoid those things and you wont have to duck if your near a fan.

Bonn.. is the average player giving his team more or less than 5 points and 3 rebounds, and would most teams offer that average player a 5 year contract. Stop pretending he isnt horribly overpaid

Per 15 min, the avg player probably is putting up those numbers, yes (if not worse). You're also good at ignoring JJ's career playoff #s, Fish.

Does the average player only play 15 minutes because he averages 3.5 PFs in that time?

Your right though.. forget about the 5 points 3 rebounds in 268 career games. I'm 100% we are going to only see the 9 points and 5 rebound type production he put up in his 17 career playoff games. 100% sure. After all ISiah does his homework and he wants to win now.

My bad... I'm done with my points. They cant stand up to the barrage of logic I've been assaulted with.

it's no use...fish woke up today and decided he wanted to bash JJ.

A couple of weeks ago, he said something along the lines of:
He'll provide a couple of good games and give us 14 points and 10 boards, but still average 6/6/2.

Well, like I said before, if he gives us that, we're 500 team easy.

And you are smoking some whacky stuff if you think every other team had the same injuries we had.

We lost our best shooter and arguably one of our best players Healthy for all but 20 games. Our back up SG was lost for time as was our starting SF.

So, to say we went through the same thing every other team went through is absurd.

We had a run of bad luck that coincided with marbs proclaiming he was the best PG in the league.

I'm not worried at all...I'm not even bothered by the waxing and waning of support from most posters. You have to give bobs credit, atleast he's consistent.

I'm sure fish will stop crying and suddenly realize JJ was well worth the market price and return to his kool aid drinking ways.

Why are you not bashing the 76ers have THREE of the top ten worst? or is he only right about JJ and the sixers did a good job actually?

Stop lashing out.

our injuries were a joke. The PAcers lost guys like Jermaine Oneil and Steven Jackson for 20+ games,and Artest for 50+ and still made the playoffs

We dont even have players that talented and we are crying. We simply arent talented enough to overcome injuries, so we have to hope and pray every possible thing goes right. If it doesnt we have our excuses.

Im not bashing JJ. He is what he is. We needed size, its just too bad we overpaid. I hope it doesnt hurt us as it has in the past.

As I understand it, Fish, you think we over paid in contract length not in average salary. Why can't you consider the possibility that after year 2 if it doesn't work out with JJ, they would buy out his contract? They bought out Shandon's for much more

Posted by rvhoss:

Do you honestly think JJ would have signed for 2 or 3 years?

Would you?

This $5 mill has NO impact on our cap.

He'd still be the lowest paid knick starter in 2 years.
