CJ Miles is the man!

When Miles was borderline useless his first 25 games last year weren't you the one that said we had to be patient with him because he was coming off an injury?

Bell is coming off a much more severe injury and is 10 years older than Miles. And while Bell has been way better in his first 25 or so back this year than Miles had been last year; why doesn't he get the same slack?

I was pushing for patients with Miles last year and am not giving up on Bell this year. However Bell is getting a pass on his crappy play and Miles is being railed against even though he has been far superior to Bell this year. While I hope the starting unit and Bell come along eventually they are getting in holes far too often. I have hope that Bell eventually becomes a starting quality SG for us. However when Cj was struggling last year and working his way back into the lineup he was not playing more minutes than the superior player (Mathews). This year Bell is being far out played by Miles and should be having his minutes limited until he is outplaying the other guy. He's not and he is still getting a pass while CJ takes huge amounts of criticism on here while he is basically carrying our 2nd unit.

Like last year when Mathews was playing over CJ, this year CJ should be playing over Bell. Because he is outplaying him.
 
While I agree with Greg and ISG that Miles should be getting more minutes than Bell throughout the game there is no way I start Miles over Bell right now. Bell does a good job on the defensive end of the floor to start games. The Problem with the starters is they take to long to be agressive going to the Basket. As as was stated in another thread our first possession always seems to end up in an AK jump shot from 19 feet. And then we keep taking those until we are in a hole. Deron needs to come out from the start like he does in the second half and attack. That right there would get or offense going better than Adding CJ. The reason I am against CJ starting is that it is mandatory that we have a scorer off the bench. Bell and AK can not fill that roll. CJ has been very good at doing that.

CJ needs to keep coming off the bench to give us that offensive spark. But there is no reason that I can think of that he should be getting less minutes than Bell unless Bell is playing like he did last night

I agree with your post. Except that while Bell played well last night. CJ still deserved as many if not more minutes.
 
As flawed as he was, I miss Ronnie Brewer starting games. It seemed like to start every game he would have at least 2 back door cut layups right off the bat. Now we have AK and Raja its usually a 20 footer. That 20 footer usually tells the story of the game. AK makes it, the Jazz will be shooting well. AK misses, we are doomed to clank jumpers all game.
 
Is CJ going to show up in Minny? Any bets?

My bet is he does not. I am predicting 2-13, 8 pts, 2 TO, 0 reb, 2 assists, 1 steal.

Well he did a little better than I thought. 3-9, 8 pts, 1 TO, 3 reb, 1 assist, 3 steals.

Way to go CJ. Keep up the mediocre work! One day you will be Michael Jordan...um, just not today...tomorrow doesn't look too good either. But one day!!

I only caught the 4th quarter, but I saw he fouled Webster on 2 straight jump shots, rough.
