I’m hoping JuJu’s progressing well too. The last thing you want is a slow healer in this league.

Good news: we’re 2-0 against Western teams. Bad news, we’re 1-2 against Leastern teams. All games, win or lose, were ‘close’, but seriously… what the f

Is there something we don’t know about Julian Wright, injury wise???

They close-upped on him on the bench and he looked sad. I looked sad, too. That was a despicable game.

But what about JuJu???

Thanks, CP. I give you this great post and you do what I’m talking about a whole one time in Charlotte. Thanks for making me look like a moron.

I trust Mike James. Seriously, you may ask? The guy who fumbles and bumbles on offense and doesn’t seem to be in sync with our system? The guy who has disappointed beyond this season?

Yes. Give the man a long stretch of 20 minutes and see what he’s capable of generating. Early losses with playoff-caliber teams mean nothing (my ‘06-07 Mavs were 0-4, then massacred with streaks of 12, 13, 8, 17, and 9), and I’d rather be certain a $6 mil investment is defunct rather than casting him away immediately. Find a core second unit, and let them play around. While he’s failed pretty much every expectation, I still hope there’s some to be salvaged.

Like Ryan (of 247 fame) said, 20 games. For some unbeknown reason, Coach Scott has not played James. Like at all. Even to last season. And Pargo played an entire solid Hornets season 2 years back. Non elite players need time to work into a system.

So before we cry ‘witch’, give him some breathing room on the leash. CP makes any comparable point look atrocious, so give James some chances.

I like your theory. Makes a lot of sense, especially when I consider that, as a fan, I have trouble following CP and JuJu when they have the ball. I am always amazed at how close I am to the action, yet always liable to be just as “shook” as the defense.

My question to you is: do you think the secondary unit can keep up the chaos if Devin Brown moves to the helm? The more I see MJ run around like a crazy person (we’ll call him “true chaos” since he befuddles his teammates as well, and we’ll call Chris “controlled chaos”), I think to myself, “there’s no way Byron is going to keep using him in this role.” And that leaves DB.

Thoughts?

The people demand more JuJu! Seriously, unless he’s that out of game shape still, i don’t know why it would have hurt to have given him a little time on Wednesday. Considering no one else was giving the team that pop. Including half the starting lineup. They are not exempt from blame, oh you Mike James haters.
