Jimmer finally gets a start and the coach is playing him less minutes than when he came off the bench. WTF is going on? Down by 25 and still nobody goes for rebounds or gets back on D. What a dysfunctional bunch. Jimmer might not be shooting well but at least he's not hitting backboard first like half of Hickson's and Reke's shots. My goodness this team is a travesty.

Jimmer shooting 1-of-5, 3 turnovers, playing less minutes than Isaiah Thomas (3-of-6 shooting).

Losing is a disease. As contagious as syphilis.

Very bad situation for Jimmer. Unless he starts hitting shots expect more minutes to go to Isaiah. Jimmer better hope he's traded.

Isaiah Thomas was 3-8 last night. On the year he's shooting .290 from the floor and .286 from behind the arc.



Jimmer is shooting poorly at .360 and .308 respectively, but he's still a better shooter than Thomas.

Not to mention Jimmer had more assists, more rebounds, and the same amount of points on less shots and in less minutes. Oh, and Jimmer's +/- was six points better than Thomas's and the best of any starter if that means anything.

Watched all the minutes Jimmer played last night,



He was hustling but he was still terrible on getting under or over screens.



Philly attacked him all night long one-on-one. Jimmer fouled a lot or gave up layups.



The only time he looked natural was in garbage time- he took a deep 3 when the defense when under the screen and he nailed it.



Several times he drove the ball off the Pick'n'Roll and drew the defense. But his passes were too slow and mistimed.



Jimmer's team is terrible but Jimmer could fix a lot of things individually.

I think he finished the game with 2 fouls in over 20 minutes.

I think Isaiah Thomas becomes the starter before the end of the year. He's been a good floor general and a better rounded pg. And that might be good for Jimmer. He needs to get more aggressive and he would have more fire coming off the bench. Defenses don't defend I. Thomas like they do Jimmer so it makes his stats come a little easier. Coaches know that a guy like Jimmer can spark big runs so he becomes a focal point of the defense.

Thomas' only good performance this season. He has a lot of turnover in his minutes too. I like him and Jimmer out there together as much as anything, but come on that's one game.

And you're point is? Sometimes he fouled and sometimes he just played 'Ole' defense.
