    I can't see him being as effective as you think he will. He's been off for 4 months. His jumper is going to be rusty. He's not going to have great conditioning. He's also not going to be ready for the speed of the game, and that could take a while for him to adjust. Him coming back is not going to do any good for them unless he's as ready as you think he is, which is highly unlikely for a guy who's been away from the game for 4 months.

    Mamba = win

    Nelson hasn't really made much of a difference.

    As a result, they sort of have a PG discrepancy, and none of their PGs have done anything this series. Alston has looked like shit. Maybe it's just a coincidence, or maybe it's not, but I'm glad they decided to allow Jameer to play this series.

    He's made a difference, but it hasn't been a positive one. Rafer Alson has gone missing with Jameer back.

    I'm not ready to judge on Nelson, yet.

    We'll see how he performs in Orlando.

    What do you expect from him going on in this series?

    So far, Jameer has done nothing, as I mostly expected. He's been ineffective and looks like a player who hasn't played in 4 months. The other issue here is that Rafer Alston couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat right now. His shot has been horrific all series - I saw him air-ball at least one shot last night and was way off on a plethora of others.
