Jameer Nelson is a godsend

a win's a win

now I can go back to being in sport bliss

[luciano]

Somehow this win feels like a loss.

[Rel11]

Thank you, Jameer! St. Joe’s finest. Lol. I can finally breathe again. That was a long quarter.

NOP-LAL game is clear example of why Jameer Nelson stays employed & remains effective: He knows how to run a team. That’s no simple task

I'm taking this as a positive, I don't care.

We usually lose games where we blow it. We sucked it up, came back, and won the game.

FINALLY we win a game within the first 5 games of the season. Gentry's seat should be feeling at least a little warm though, after nearly blowing it.

[AusPel]

Dang. Now General Disarray and Jrue both keep their jobs

[UNO Gracias]

Jameer Nelson is a godsend

Jameer Nelson has always seemed to me like this generations Sam Cassell. Sure, Jameer doesn't look like an alien, but he has bounced around quite a bit, and it's certainly not from a lack of talent.

[PelicanNation]

Cousins and AD looked weird tonight.

[Mythrol]

We lose this game if Nelson is not on the team.

[AusPel]

Jrue is best when the ball happens to find him. On a cut or a kick out wide open 3.

Ask him to create and you have no idea what he might do.

You can't pay someone 26 mil a year who can't create consistently

You just can't

Cousins and AD looked weird tonight.

They looked fine at the start of the game.

To the Lakers' credit, they started really smothering our guys which limited our offense.

Del says to hold his beer.

[Bricklayer]

So...a good win followed by a terrible loss followed by a gut check comeback.

[luciano]

Having more depth is a positive. Now a three man team lol

Just this. The Lakers were running us out, the pace was getting out of hand for us, it was obvious some of our guys were panicking. Shots were coming from awkward isos and it all looked off. Nelson comes in, drags the pace down, makes some smart passes and intelligent shots, all of a sudden the win looks clear again. This is why you cut Crawford for Nelson.

Years ago, I would agree.

But this is the era where the NBA overpays anyone and everyone.

Yep!

[Alg_Hornet]

Lakers went small and we had no counter. I took Gentry literally the entire 4th quarter to get the ball out of Jrues hand and let Nelson operate the offense and we finally started to hammer the lakers in the paint

[AusPel]

Sounds like you are describing the flow of this game lol

[Bricklayer]

Sounds like you are describing the flow of this game lol

I was.

This was 3 games in one.

This isn't a small overpay though

We just did, friend. You're gonna wear out specific letters in your keyboard or on your phone sweating the money we paid Jrue.

It happened. Maybe in time, as guys like Schoeder, Elfrid Payton, and possibly even Eric Bledsoe get their deals, Jrue will slot right in with them too.

[Mythrol]

This isn't a small overpay though

Ok, it's a bad contract. So now what?

[DefensiveMind]

I’ll take Jrue at 6-11 shooting with 15, 5, and 5 every night along with solid D.

His game will look better as he transitions to full time off ball and secondary creator.
