Popular Post Buzzard Posted November 25, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) Jabari is who he is. He could be the weakest defensive link starting on a good defensive team. Or he could be a great 6th man outplaying bench players by miles when he is on the floor. The 6th man role is what I pictured for him playing for us; but its not a perfect world and Collins made that perfectly clear this season.

Moderators PSSSHHHRRR87 Posted November 25, 2019 Moderators Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Jabari is excelling on a bad team... Don't take much from it. He's a backup at best on 20 other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Atlantaholic Posted November 25, 2019 Premium Member Report Share Posted November 25, 2019 Well Jabari's play has come back down to earth, so yea, looks like we won't have to worry about his market price rising too much. I think Jabari can be a great 6th man for us so that's good news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watches his man lay the ball in and starts heading down the floor for some offense. Pierce nods and claps his hands together a few times. Pierce: "Keep on using that voice JP! We got the next one!"

Mental picture I had was of those kids back in the day at the blacktop that instead of playing defense would yell when you took a shot. "using his voice on defense" SMH. I think we would all rather he use his body and hands 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kg01 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 Yeah, I'm done with Jabarme. And furthermore, I think signing Jabarme was Schlenk accelerating the rebuild. I get it, "But kg, if not for the injuries/suspension, Jabarme would be our 6th man, blah, blah .." Well dam*it, we're not in a position to sign a 6th man. Our 6th man should come from some GLeaguer or min player who grows into that role. Signing Jabarme is a culture-killer because he's a low-e guy. We need high energy, ultra-competitive guys who'll at-worst give effort on both ends. Jabarme is not that guy. How can we instill a culture of hard work and competitiveness when we're featuring a guy who plays defense like the out-of-shape guy at the Y. You know him. He's the guy who's gasssed by the 3rd trip down the court who, instead of getting back on D, stands at halfcourt faking a heart attack but makes a miraculous recovery when he sees you go 3-on-5i on defense but get the rebound. "Hey guys, I'm open!" I hope we trade him, sign some guy looking for an opportunity and resume building the right way. i. Yeah it's 3-on-5 because another one-a your guys just plain sucks.

NBASupes Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 I am clearly higher on Jabari than kg01 is but he is the worst defensive player in the NBA. I hate that Trae gets that rep when I know Parker is his undoing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBASupes Posted December 4, 2019 Report Share Posted December 4, 2019 His offense has come back to life and now he is back to being a professional scorer who can't playmake, play off the ball, shoot with range consistently or defend on any level. His contract looks correct again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for that is, we aren't that far. We are really just a starting level center always from a playoff team in the east. We don't even have to address the backup PG position yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the playoffs ... in the east should be our floor. To set our sights higher, we need to build on a culture of good habits which means a player like Jabarme is a piece you add via buyout as you progress towards the playoffs. He's not a guy you build with and he's not a guy you want around for very long. That's like signing Jamal Crawford to be a starter just because he can drop 50 in a game or 2. Well yeah but, what's he doing the other 80 games? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want Jabari, Evan Turner (how is a scrub like him actually giving advise to people and they not laughing in his face). Len, a big no talent there, Bembry,I just can’t seem to get on board with him. Ya we need to get some guys that aren’t dead weight. I’m sorry but let’s call a spade a spade this roster sucks a bit. Habits! Habits! Habits! Practice practice practice.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker is more tough to fit at PF, defense is so much more of importance than at SG but I am indifferent is all. I do see your point and it makes a lot of sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
