I'm not one of the Afflalo bashers - I like him as a player and defended the signing all summer...

That said, I think what I am noticing with him is that it is kinda matchup dependent. A guy like Korver he can post and toast and beat on the perimeter. Teams like Orlando with big, physical guards give him trouble and can push him off his spots on offense and basically shut him down.

That Triangle play where DWill bounces a three off Atlanta's head and Melo taps the rebound out to Afflalo for an open three is nice!

Are you really comparing Jr with AA? AA is a pro's pro. He has the most value on this team comparable to his contract.

my issue with Afflalo is that he doesnt pass or defend much and unless he has a hot shooting game like today he doesnt help much

I'm surprised by how poor he's been at passing. Defense, is again, I think matchup dependent.

Like, he didn't have a hope in hell of guarding Jimmy Butler - but he can guard Korver okay.

But, yes, sometimes he has looked very bad on D.

He's a proven starter and legit 2nd or 3rd scoring option in this league for a long time.

the same bonehead posts showed up when JR hit a billion 3's in a game and couldn't miss. Yay for him. That proved that he was a great player.

It proved that we need the scorer, we just got offseason to score, to score. Not to pass like you fat guys that sit on a couch want everyone to play like. Because that was probably your best attribute as a player 40 years ago. Did you wear a head band and tight ahorts? Wait bad thought, i dont want to know. Let me guess, you hate the way Curry and Klay T play?
