    He's really been playing well, and with confidence, as of late. Blake will have his work cut out for him.

    Doesn't seem like so much work for Blake.

    I would imagine that crunch time would go something like this...

    Play-By-Play:

    Jarrett Jack turnover (1)

    Brandon Roy three-point field goal

    Jarrett Jack turnover (2)

    Steve Blake three-point field goal (Brandon Roy assists)

    Time out - Indiana

    Jarrett Jack turnover (3)

    I'd say he's better than Sergio, but he and Blake are about on par. But that's like saying a kick in the balls is better than a knee to the balls.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Jack is still what he has been through his short career...a decent back-up point guard. Basically on par with Sergio and on par with Blake prior to this year. This year, Blake has actually been a decent starting caliber player. It's a career year, though, so it may be unlikely that Blake keeps it up.

    But Portland definitely isn't worse off without Jack. He's not an upgrade on anyone Portland has at the position and Bayless projects to blow him away in ability in the future.

    No need to hate on Jack. He is a good guy. I'm glad he is doing well these days for the Pacers. I will cheer for him when he is introduced. He has earned that.

    Yeah, I'd like to see Jack against Bayless, aka JJ on steriods!

    I liked Jarrett Jack when he was here. I hope he does poorly against us, because I'm a Blazer fan before I'm a Jarrett Jack fan. Other than that, I wish him nothing but the best.

    There is NO reason why the crowd shouldn't give him love!

    I like Jack...I think he is a journeyman player, without much playmaking upside. But I wish him well, for sure.

    If anybody boos him they're a worthless piece of shit. If you're at the game and catch somebody doing this, you have a moral obligation to donkey punch them in the back of the head.

    There's no way in hell Jack bets booed. He'll get a nice ovation, guaranteed.

    However, I'll be at the game, and I will heed your advice and donkey punch anyone that boos him.

    I confess--I laughed. You gotta believe that in-game cannibalism would result in more than just a tech, though.

    I like Jarrett. I hope he has a good game in a Pacers loss.

    Jack seems like a very cool guy... if he gets booed I will be embarrassed for our fans. Jarrett never did anything to make people hate him, other than sloppy play.
