Jason Collins Appreciation Thread

[txsting]

The Magic scored 80 pts per 100 possessions with Collins on the court. They scored 110 per 100 possessions with Collins on the bench. It was ridiculous how much Collins was able to get Dwight to turn the ball over.

Jason Collins - thank you for putting in the hard work, getting in shape, and playing your butt off in round one. You made a huge contribution. Even if you don't get to play much against the Bulls, and even though you probably won't see an extra dime for your efforts, know that we appreciate what you have done.

Secondary props to Sund for bringing JC in, and big props to Drew for knowing exactly how to use his top defending big man.

Yep big ups to Jaco for his performance not only in this series but all season long against Dwight. Get some rest big fella, you deserve it! :alcoholic:

I wonder what is going to happen with Jason Collins after the season. They have to resign him as long as Howard is around right?

He will probably want a little more than the veteran's minimum this time around. You know that is all Sund will be able to throw at him.

Great job by collins. Great example of somebody realizing what their role is on a team and playing with maximum effort to fill that role.

Twin is like "I started two Finals, bi$&€es!!! I got this!"

Seriously, to piggyback oiff O1dO, outstanding execution of his role. No dummies out of Stanford that's for sure.

It is pretty impressive how much of an impact this guy who doesn't rebound, pass, or score had on the series

Yeah, it really amazes me. He won't play much in the CHI series, but he was gold for us against the Magic. We don't win that series without him.

Not downplaying Twin's work, but let's also give credit to Hinrich and others for digging in on Howard when he started making moves into the post. We really got into his head and under his skin. Twin played him as well one on one as I think anyone could.
