    Yes I did, and no he didn't. "Many" might include 3 in 82 games for you, but it doesn't for me. I'm NOT SAYING HE SUCKS, but he absolutely was very incompetent at running a fast break. Scratch that...change it to "imcompetent at taking advantage of 3-on-1, 3-on-2, and 2-on-1 opportunities"

    ^Yep.

    Anyway, Jack did get hated on a lot, but he also did somewhat deserve some of the criticism (obviously didn't deserve the hate). I really hope he succeeds wherever he plays, and finds a good home on a good team.

    His behind the back pass/turnover during the fast break against Denver is etched into my mind. We just had to hold onto the ball, we were up by 1!

    Also, the majority of his successful fast breaks were him doing the bulldog thing, taking it to the hole hard and getting the shot to fall or being fouled. He typically had poor passing on the fast break and had trouble finding the player running down the wing to the hole. I loved his dogged determination, went nuts by his inability to hit the driving open man.

    That's just a counterpoint to your post though... I'm done speaking negative about him. I really liked Jarrett, and hope he's successful in Indy and watch for him in the box scores. He just wasn't a good fit here, and his minutes last night went to an 11-assist, 1 turnover Sergio. I'm feeling A-OK about it.

    We should really just be happy Jarrett's playing well and move on.

    I'd say we're much better off with Rudy taking over his minutes.

    I'm glad Jarrett's found a new home, but his inconsistency drove me crazy. And that Denver turnover is also still on my mind, as well as multiple other screw-ups on the fast break.
    But I'd cheer for the guy when Indiana comes here, he gave it his all.

    At this point I count at least 5 other people who have called you out on your behavior. Just stop acting innocent and attacking others when they say how they feel about other players.

    If it was Laker fans coming in here talking crap about our players it would be different, but it is fellow Blazer fans that just aren't scared to speak the truth. You need to realize that we are all part of the same fan base here.

    I won't call you an idiot, because I guess it's against the rules. But what you do on a regular basis around here is ridiculous and immature.

    i wont argue against some people being immature or not. to each his own. not everyone is an old fuddy-duddy. some are just old. and some are young fuddy-duddys.

    Yeah, you got me. I won't tell you that if we were in the same room right now that you would end up in the hospital, because that too is against the rules.
