I really don't see what Eddie Jordan sees in this useless piece of trash. Jarvis Hayes's only strength is shooting and he can't even do that. He's been shooting at a miserable percentage all year long and the fans have been giving him a hard time about it. Players like Roger Mason and Deshawn Stevenson have made him look like trash when it comes to shooting, and it's not even their best strength.
I hope I'm wrong but I just don't see this team doing absolutely anything in the playoffs. We get nothing easy, everything is create-your-own shot and when you have sh*t like Jarvis playing, that spells out losses almost every time. Offense is great and fun to watch but defense wins playoff series' and when the Wizards' offense isn't clicking, you can pretty much forget about it because the D is just that bad. I don't know, maybe nothing surprises me with this team anymore, I've just lost hope.

But, with KG in the post would help the Wizards a lot and give us that force that we don't have with Haywood or Etan Thomas, but looks like we're gonna have to outscore our opponents point for point.
Before the season began everybody was excited to have his scoring coming off the bench, especially since bench production was a problem in the Cleveland series. Obviously, it didn't quite work out like we'd all hoped. Jarvis's shooting, his supposed best weapon, has been horrible, and he hasn't added anything else to his game. I think Eddie will keep having him come off the bench, but probably much less after Jamison comes back, with Songaila being a better option coming off the bench for shooting.
We were soaring when Jamison was healthy, hopefully we can get back on that trail with his possible return tonight.
This guy has been injury prone since he has been in the league, and his stock has really fallen. When I watch him play, I dont see to much....From what I hear, he is ridiculously inconsistent, and that is never a good sign. I think that some teams would still want to take a chance on him because he still has talent, and I think that the Wizards could get something pretty decent out of him. But as of right now, he isnt helping the team out all that much.
Jarvis in tonight's game vs. NJ:21 points7-16 shooting9 rebounds3 assists2 steals1 turn-overin 41 minutes of playing timeI'm pretty sure he started 0-3, and it looked like another dreadful game from him, but he managed to turn it around tonight. We're going to need this from him coming off the bench in the play-offs. Here's to hoping he can continue this.
Well, that was one of the only few good things I saw in that game last night. I'm glad he's starting to turn that around *hopefully*.

He was doing well up until the 4th started where he airballed about 3 times. He did pretty good defensively though, I'll give him that.
