I know he has been working on them all summer but it does seem like he is reluctant to try anything right now. Maybe its some international play holdover where jumpshooting is king.

The guy has only been playing the position for a few years. The fact he is where he is is incredible.

What's French for foul?

Just returned from the game (crying kid). Few observations.

Rivers- he is a pretty good athlete but he can't finish. And when things aren't going his way he blames other guys (inbound pass from Jimmer when AR aligator armed it, he aligator armed it and told Jimmer he had to place the ball better).
We are slowly moving away from hero ball, but some of our guys just can't finish even when they are put in position to make shots.
I don't think his teammates are aware that Jimmer is on their team. He had several open looks in the 2nd qtr and even when his teammates saw him open they took bad shots.
I am happy we are winning this game. I expected us to finish the first 4 (2-2). We don't have to prove we are a top 3 team yet, we just need to prove we can make the playoffs in the east.

PJ Hairston...*sigh* I hate being right.

LOL Roberts.

Lol travel much?

Roberts gonna roberts.

Great pass from rivers

I love brian Roberts now lol

He is only compared to them because they are the closest thing anyone can compare him to. It isn't because he is identical to them. AD is his own player. I don't think we need to worry about telling our third year star what to do, when he is averaging 23.7 points / 13.3 rbds / 1.7 ast / 2 stls / 4.3 blks for the season. Let's worry about getting the team to play as a team.

Despite my joking I do think Jimmer is being underutilized off the bench. His shooting and spacing is a weapon we just can't ignore.

Rivers in particular needs to learn how getting 2 long range guys like Jimmer along with Ryno(which he does a almost serviceable job doing) going can make his offensive attack a lot easier.

Rivers baby.

Rivers is feeling it..Rivers, AD, Ryno scorching

Rivers Time!!!!

Rivers is killing it.

Jimmer murders our pick and roll defense on every play. He is absolutely unplayable defensively.

I see a lot of rivers slander on here I mean I haven't watched much but he's made a few plays when I have .. Is he just not being consistent throughout the game ?

I thought a post like this would come up.

I know the game isn't over, and I know Rivers was missing them early and often.

Jimmer's defense has been pretty good (considering what we all thought we were getting). I think over time he will prove to be a valuable asset to this team, but the confidence from his teammates isn't there yet; and as such he isn't demanding the ball in order to make those confidence building plays happen.

Austin's having a really nice night. Good finishing, some nice passes, and no turnovers.

Gordon gets his chance to be the man and Rivers steals the spotlight..

I think consistency is his problem. He has it in him to be a good bench player. He is just so hit or miss.
