Jackson is a nut case

[TheDorkLord]

I agree, it might be time to get a couple of these old pieces out of here. The young guys play with so much more energy. Still don't get why Tyrus isn't getting 35 minutes

I guess we need to showcase Diaw as a starter so we can get a better trade for him. :-)

First off, ammofan et al, Jack was taken out of the game by the refs. I was right down by the court and there was nothing he did to earn either of his 2 quick fouls, nor was he given any calls down in the paint. It was pathetic. Now, they were equally bad, so I'm not complaining about the refs, but they did keep Jack from playing his game. It wasn't his attitude or LB's attitude, just simply that his game conflicted with what that bald douche wanted to do.

I have been saying this for a while. I am willing to trade about everyone for something younger. This team isn't on the path to winning as constructed.

FWIW, Jack is a notoriously slow starter (he always plays like shit for the first few games). And I didn't see anything unusual from him last night - looked taken out of rhythm and frustrated. Other players don't react like Jack does because they're waiting to shoot 2 free throws; he's laying on the ground and the other team is running the other direction.

Why the fuck does page 2 of this thread lead me to the bcp front page?

I've not been a big fan of Jackson on the court. I think he turns the ball over way too much and isn't as clutch as he talks about himself being. I think he's an average player with an explosive attitude. Not exactly leadership material. For every positive example there's a negative example. I think that could be overlooked if he was a consistent player, but he's not.

Would I trade him? I would. He has proven to go sour when things aren't going his way. That's not something you want in a leader.

In my opinion all this trade talk concerning players the caliber of Jax is a bit premature. The Bobcats are 0-2 but the sky is not falling. Larry Browns teams always start slowly and the chemistry most times takes some time to develop. If we start 0-5 then we can hit the panic button. Till then let us see where we are at least after 5 games have passed. As good as Larry Brown is seen as a coach I think sometimes early in a season he is the real reason for the slow starts.

Good meeting some of the Planeteers tonight. I couldn't understand what LB was doing with Diop in the game late, and only took him out after he fouled out. I'd so much rather have TT getting those crucial minutes.

GW missing 6 freethrows was tough to swallow, so was the 2 misses on 3 pointers (first by DJ, next my Jack). It was one of the few nights I had opportunity to have same attire as MJ (he was actually wearing the 'promotional' shirt tonight).

We need to bounce back in a hurry (trip to Milwaukee while it's still semi-warm is something we need to take advantage of). Remember when Sam I am almost made the Cats miss a game because he wanted to sleep in his own bed for the night. http://www.usatoday.com/travel/fligh...-airline_N.htm

Ditto the Planeteers shindig!

Yeah, the absolute worst lineup for us last night was DJ, Jack, GW, Boris and Diop and insane Larry would've stuck with that one 'til the bitter end if Diop hadn't fouled out. And not coincidentally, that was the lineup that ultimately lost the game for us. How 'bout DJ, Boris, GW, UPS, and Tyrus?

I'm not ready to throw Jack under the bus, but there is something "off" with him these first couple games. Maybe putting more pressure on himself to help DJ create shots for teammates, yet he pounds the air out of the ball and turns it over. Injury? I don't know, but definitely bears watching.

The sky is falling...trade everybody on the team they have started 0-3
