| Re: Orlando Jan 25 8PM Jarvis needs to be replaced for good. It would be one thing if his shot just abandoned him, but he makes absolutely terrible decisions. You can't let him touch the ball without him forcing up terrible shots. How he gets on the court night after night with that kind of shot selection is beyond me. Defensively he is one of the worst on the team. He puts himself in terrible positions 1-on-1, and he has frequent lapses on help D. IMO, Flip needs to go with AA on Medium to small SFs, and Fabio on taller SFs. With those 2, you've got guys who are unselfish, and won't force the issue when they don't have it.
Stuckey needs to pick it up and fast. I'm a little surprised he has gotten this much leash from Flip PT-wise. I know he went to a small school, but I simply can't understand how you go from a dominant scorer to a guy who can't hit ANYTHING. It's really starting to get ugly.
Amir brought some stellar energy in the 1st half of this one. Blocking shots and he seemed to always be around the ball (the ESPN guys noticed this as well). The fouls are just the nature of the game. The refs were terrorizing our "low-profile" players tonight, and Amir is always going to challenge defensively. IMO, his only real mental mistake was that telegraphed pass. That must have been what won him a 2nd half DNP. Unfortunately that's how it's going to be. No leash for AJ. One mistake and he's out. I applaud Flip for keeping him out there for 8 minutes in the first half though.
