    I think we would've won if Alston remained in the game.

    bobby jackson is okay.

    he just is NOT A POINT. and he's a million years old you cant have him out there starting and expect him to perform

    he's there for 12 minutes of jump start offense here and there. if jackson let us down, the coaching staff and injuries let him down and put him in a almost no-win situation.

    but he's a pro. he doesn't b**** about it, he just did his best

    Head - no more discussion, no more words on him. Just trade his ass for a bag of chips.

    Jackson - old, streak, shows up once in every 7 games. He will probably have 10-15 good games in 1 season. That's about it.

    I also think Jackson is fine. He is like an X-factor, who you will not know how he is going to show up, high or low, but still give you some expectations.

    Head is a complete different story...I mentioned it long time ago that he is basically headless, and now it looks like also gutless.

    I'd rather have Bonzi as my 'x factor'

    Get Aaron Brooks into Olive Garden and let him eat the never ending pasta bowl all summer long....

    And then trade BJax as an expiring with something else for Mike Miller and reload.

    Bobby is fine coming off the bench. When he has to be a starter, that's when things get ugly. Luther is dead to me. Has been since last playoffs.

    come on guys, bobby jackson did a decent job coming off the bench whenever rafer started. he'll come off the bench and score about 5-10 points, and thats why we got him for anyway.
    on the other hand, head is just garbage, i have to agree with that.

    BJax definitely did not play out like the Rox organization thought he would, but I'm sure a big motivation behind the deal was having his expiring contract for next season. I don't think Bonzi fit into our long term plans anyway, and with Yao's injury, we were doomed in the playoffs anyway, so the Jax trade turned out well.

    It's clear BJax has lost some major consistency in his shooting.

    Luther Head was just lacking any sort of confidence all series long. He's shown some improvement in terms of dribbling this year overall I think, but I think he's better suited as a 9th or 10th man off the bench. Additionally, his 3 point shooting fell a bit, thereby negating some of his improvements in his all-around game. He's not as bad as he played against Utah, but he's still not that good.

    Give me a break. What is he? A 30% shooting 2 guard??? The guy is a freaking cap dump that shouldn't have played this much.

    Which would have left us with M. James start at PG in Games 1/2 and Game 6, 2nd half. Or have to live or die with A. Brooks being put into the fire.

    Bobby: 2/12
    Luther: 0/2

    = 2/14 for your key bench players.

    Great

    We should have traded Head a season ago. Anyway, it's not too late to trade him for any PG in NBA or draft picks. Morey, please!

    Jackson's shot has been off but he has also heated up a few times. He is also a decent defender. I still think he is a poor choice at a back up but it was better than nothing.

    Head is horrible. I'm not sure he belongs in the league at this point. I suppose he could be a bench guy on a bad team and maybe even the 6th or 7th man and an instant offense type player on a really bad team. Bottom line is that he was clutch as a college player but he has no business playing in important games at the NBA level.

    So much for JVG holding his game back. He has regressed so badly this year that if I didn't know better I'd say he was missing point blank layups and open jumpers on purpose.

    I never ever condone the use of caps lock on message boards, but for the first time ever:

    LUTHER HEAD HAD ONE FREAKING BASKET IN THE ENTIRE SERIES!!!

    that was cathartic.
