Raja is struggling as much as CJ. Both are shooting under 36% from the field. For what it's worth (and that ain't much), CJ can at least drive to the hoop. Neither is a very good option right now. I hope KOC will be burning up the phone lines trying to find us a "Making" guard. Raja Part Deux and CJ "yet another chance that's failed miserably" are just turrible. If the Jazz could only send both to the D-League.

I think CJ looks pretty good when he puts the ball on the floor, even when he misses. It's those step back, off balance jumpers that are killing the team. If CJ can pull his head out of his ***, and make smart plays, he'll be a much better option than Raja.

Because Raja was not hustling and was worthless. CJ got some big rebounds and assists in that game and was playing with energy. I agree his shot selection is terrible at times but he is not the reason we are losing. Raja is getting too many minutes and Price should not be playing at all.

Price not playing at all? Give me a break dude.

 

[GVC]

Ya, I don't understand the Price hate. He's looked decent this season.

Raja can't shoot. Price has no place on the floor: not a PG, not a SG. He should have been cut in favor of someone who can make a shot beyond the arc.

Deron was tired and Sloan was expecting CJ might create something himself to take the pressure off him. We know how it turned out but that was his probable reasoning.

What ever happened to that Matthews kid?

I'll take a non-hustling and worthless Raja Bell over a non-hustling and worthless Catch 'n' Jack Smiles nine times out of ten.

Well then you were hoping for a loss against the Clippers because with Raja in instead of CJ that game is almost a sure loss. Even with Miles' shooting problems he outplayed Bell.
