Can the C.J. Miles experiment please end?

[DukeJazz]

I've seen CJ play solid defense, grab key rebounds, set up his teammates, space the floor, even though he has not shot well in 2 of those games. He has been finding other ways to help the team even when he doesn't have his offensive game going, which he used to never do until last year.

Exactly. Raja bell shoots worse then cj so why isnt there a thread bashing him?

 

[candrew]

Cj miles is a 30% 3 point shooter this year. If he had 4 more misses that would mean he just shot 1-5 which would be 20%. Hes not going to miss 4. What is your evidence to support that?Also hes averaging almost 10 points a game off the bench with 23 minutes a game. Thats not bad especially when you are not the go to option on offense.

Nice try though but put some logic in your posts before you click reply.

Thanks and have a good day.

LOL - you're a fool.

Miles has missed 19 out of his last 21 3-point attempts. That's boderline criminal.

He's averaging 10 points per game - on 11 shots per game. That's pathetic.

I could go on and on; but you'd probably stay up until 4am with your calculator trying to prove CJ is the next Reggie Miller.

 

[DukeJazz]

In the season hes shooting 30 percent from 3 which is not horrible.

10 points game off the bench which is the best off the bench. shooting 36% but hes helping in other ways like ak usually does.

You just hate cj and cancel how logic with cj hatred. Even if he plays well you still say he played bad so you are a hypocrite.

Well, we know CJ will be the most microanalyzed player in Jazz history. The guy can't take a shot without someone having an opinion on it. Every game means something serious. He played pretty well tonight. I look forward to finding out how great/mediocre/horrible he'll be after the Charlotte game. I predict this will be a fun thread for the CJ fans in the long run.

YES! The clank finally hit a three! I think he closed his eyes. YAHOOO!

Jazz in a winning streak on the road and all you can bother to do is bash one of our player. Your a hater and this is the proof. Troll somewhere else.

agreed. A whole thread bashing cj when there are worse players on the jazz then cj. Even worse shooters. Also the jazz keep winning so whats the point in bashing anybody?

Actually, Bell's shooting percentages - overall, 2-pt, 3-pt, even FT - are all better than Miles, although only just. Where they differ significantly is in their number of attempts. Bell averages one shot per four minutes of playing time. Miles averages a shot every two-and-a-half minutes of playing time. In fact, on average, Miles misses a shot more often than Bell takes a shot. The only reason Miles hasn't tallied more more misses than Bell has attempts is Bell has played more minutes.

They have different roles on this team. Miles is coming in as the only real scoring option off of the bench while Raja is there to play defense and stretch the floor for Deron, AJ, AK, and Millsap.

Probably another reason why there is no thread for "Bell haterz" - he isn't expected to score. Having said that, his shooting performance isn't acceptable either, remember when he was signed and his career 40% three-point shooting was supposed to replace Korver's shooting, except he could play defence as well? He needs to pick it up too.

I agree that they both need to shoot better. However CJ is actually contributing in other ways better than Raja and his defense has been just as good in most games. The reason there is a thread bashing CJ is because for some reason there is a lot of fans here that just plain hate him. Even during a winning streak in which he has been in during all of the runs to come back they continue to bash him.

Yep, everybody hates CJ. And for good reason. HE's TERRIBLE! And a cry baby like you Bonkers. I cannot stand watching him play. Just one game without him would be a gift. It's hilarious though seeing you try to defend him by crying about how everybody is a hater. Keep the entertainment coming though Bonkers.

 

[write4u]

However, aside from Deron, CJ is about the only guy who can create a shot off the dribble with consistency. We could use another player like that. AK can do it sometimes, but just as often he turns the ball over.

Cry baby? You ****ing moron. Your the one in here bitching and moaning about a player during a winning streak and have still to post anything about the Jazz that does not include him.

Funny thing is there is more people in here defending him from your retarded posts than backing you. I'll admit your not entertaining anymore though your just pathetic. Here is a clue for you I defend a lot of Jazz players taking undue criticism. I have defended AK, Memo, Deron, Miles, Fess and others on these boards. Your just here to hate so I will say get over it and get a life.

Haven't read through much, if any, of this thread - so my apologies if I repeat anything. But C.J. Miles needs to be starting and finishing games for us. He brings a skill set that no other 2 guard or 3 on our roster brings. If he's playing consistently at the level he's shown he can, we are a championship contender. We are already dangerous with D-Will and a very nice inside game - only C.J. can bring that third attack from the wing....

Like someone a couple posts earlier said, AK sometimes can do that - but is mostly effective catching and shooting, slashing, or passing out of the high post. C.J. can put it on the deck.

C.J. haters need to save their beef for the cow

Good post. I disagree though. I like Cj off of the bench, without him there we have no other players that can be the main scorer and the guy to attack the basket in that lineup. Move him into the starting lineup and he takes shots away from the other players or becomes the 4th option. I like him with the backups and also like that he is finishing all of the games.

bell hasnt really played amazing defense this year. A charging foul every now and then. IMO i think cj has been more help for us coming off the bench then bell starting.

Exactly i dont see how people can call efficeient players bad players. Efficiency is how much they helped the team win and how well they played overall with rebounds blocks points etc. Cj miles is one of the top 3 efficient players on our team so how can he be a bad player?

YA cj is good off the bench so he will have energy during crunch time. we don't trust bell in when the games on the line or in the 4th quarter.
