Was Fes' Play Last Night An Aberration?

[InGameStrategy]

Al has scored 27 pts (and 23, and 20) in games this year. He has had 15 rebound games, and is averaging 10/game. He is a proven scorer and rebounder in this league, with 6 solid years in the league.

But, to the Fess homer, it is all "garbage" and Fess has "proven" himself to be better than both Memo and Millsap too.

Heh.

It is absolutely ridiculous that you are defending Jefferson's performance when the #1 reason that the Jazz won vs. the Heat was Sloan's decision to abandon the defensive "black hole" (AJ's words) and sit him down starting in the 4th quarter. The quantity of his lack of effort in rebounding (despite the numbers you cite) is inexcusable, and his poor grasp of the offense is frustrating. And your hyperbole is tiring, as the focus has been on benching Jefferson, not Millsap. I do maintain that Fesenko's effect on the court (except in clutch time) is similar to or superior to Okur's, given that Memo is soooooo slow.

P.S. As of pre-Magic, AJ is not averaging 10 RPG. He's averaging 9 (9.4). Your statistical selectivity smells desperate.

Jefferson with a nice Weezy.

But Air Canada drives down the paint with ease on the next play.

Kudos for AJ hustling harder for the offensive putback (although it's less laudable to hustle for a score. Gotta start somewhere.).
