    I agree. Farmar looks as if he is destined to play well this year. I also think that if he plays like he is during preseason, during the regular season, he could win Most Improved OR Sixth Man....who knows?

    I think there's a shot he could have a big season. He's been damn solid for us thus far. As far as 6th man or MIP though, I don't know about that. I think 6th Man could be Barbosa's to lose and MIP could easily go to JR Smith if he gets the burn in Denver...but that's just my thoughts.

    He had a great start of the season. This season he needs to learn how to stay consistent down the stretch and not tire out

    Well, I think one thing that hurt Jordan the most was trading Javaris. He had someone pushing him and threatening his minutes if he faltered. When we traded him, there was no threat there, so Jordan didn't have to do as well, because he was really the only back up PG we had.

    Jordan has looked really good so far this preseason.

    He needs to maintain this level of intensity and learn to attack the basket more. With his speed and ability to finish in traffic around the rim, he should be getting to the line more.

    He also needs to shoot better than 70% from the FT line when he gets there.

    Lack of concentration maybe? Who knows. I mean...look at Ben Wallace...his form is mostly ok...yet he's the worst FT shooting NBA history. Then you look at Shawn Marion...one of the ugliest shots EVER...and he's what, about an 80% or FT shooter for his career? Based on this...I'd say it's probably a concentration issue, cause you're right, there's nothing wrong with his form.

    Speaking of free throws...I reminded myself of Chuck Hayes and Bo Outlaw....

    Farmar will be good until his hair is grown out. Then, he'll suck balls.

    Another strong performance for him last night in the Bobcat game. He made some clutch shots to ice the game.
