so why is there a thread deicated to cj miles expirement but not to paul millsap expiriment.

sap having bad games so thats what this thread is for.

just like the cj miles thread it will go something like this:

paul has a great game the paul supporters rave about it the haters will be silent
paul hjas a bad game the paul haters will let it be heard and the lovers will be silent.

ps i'm not a paul hater just syaing if we have such a thread dedicated to cj, paul needs one too
 
Do we really need to make a thread about a player if they have a few bad games? Like CJ or not, he is an experiment. Paul Millsap is not.
 
Exactly a starter should be consistent each night not a bench player. Cj is our best player off the bench yet there is still a hate thread of him. why not a watson hate thread or fez etc? Just rediculous.
 
Because Millsap is great and CJ is a Clown. You really think CJ the clumsy clown compares to Millsap? More than absurd.

Worst thread ever. Paul never loses a game or take terrible shots. He shoots a good % and is pretty consistent.

Shooting a good % and being pretty consistent was an argument in "defense" of Boozer.

Even if a player is giving 100%, if he's hurting the team, his minutes should be trimmed.

Less relevant tonight (heck, at least the Jazz won), but neither Millsap's effort nor his effectiveness was up to par against the Mavericks. And sufficient adjustment was not made.
 
I was amused when words like "all star" were thrown in the early season after that 30 pt game by Sap. He is back to earth now, I guess. And when Memo gets back Sap's numbers could go down even further. He is always a good role player, OK a very good one.

But coming back to the OP and title of this thread, why are'nt people harder on Millsap than CJ? Because Millsap brings it more often than CJ, he has always did. Simple, is'nt it?
CJ has been in the league for 6 years and only now is he starting to figure out things a bit. The dude is a little slow on the uptake.

Millsap is the backbone of our defense, which is arguably the best in the league.

Dallas (and San Antonio and Phoenix and probably Golden State and the Clippers, despite not beating the Jazz) argue differently.

Oh, and so does the scoring of the player he's guarding, good for third WORST on the team, at 19.1 points per 48 minutes--behind only Evans and Hayward (who are playing on such low minutes that they can pull ahead of PM with just a few future cameos).

Even among the starting lineup, AJ has started to distinguish himself as a more convincing defender--just like the center should.

Effort does not necessarily equal defense. And while Millsap has been a huge plus at times, he hasn't even brought the former--much less the latter--at other times.

It's tough to do all the time with a 4- to 6-inch length disadvantage on some nights.
[That's what she said.]
 
All said and done give credit to the coaching staff. When compared to teams like Mavs or Magic, we really have less stars. Or just one. Deron. Al Jeff could be a star but he is'nt there yet. The rest are mostly role players thriving in the system. What the staff have managed to extract out of this ragtag unit so far is impressive.
