At least he won't be chucking up the 3's at the end during a 7-17 shooting night with Morrow standing all alone in the corner. Or turning it over then failing to hustle back up on defense while staring at the ref. Seriously, my opinion is that after the extension and the lack of Baron, SJax has gotten too big in the head thinking he's the heart of the team and that he does not need to be that scrapper who won a ring with the Spurs anymore. That's wrong.
And that's Stephen's fault? The fact is, HE IS the heart of the team. He is, unfortunately by default, the #1 option, when he should be the #2 or #3 option. Monta was supposed to be our #1 but well, we know what happened there. The guy has done more good for this team this year than bad. He needs help.
I'm sorry. I love Jax but he's a fallen angel right now. You can't be the heart of the team when you show no heart by taking a play off to bitch and whine at the refs, leaving your teammates out to dry. Do you see Turiaf do that? No. Why? Heart. I think the time off will do Jax some good. That and getting some real #1 players on this team. I think Jax can come back a new man but not if he's asked to be LeBron James. He just got burnt out this year. He's put up superman numbers but, IMO, poor leadership. Unlike LeBron who has not only put up superman numbers but also lead his team by example and been the very definition of heart and determination.
