Can the C.J. Miles experiment please end?

[chawx]

I even get lucky in golf sometimes. Wouldn't call myself great. But if you think shooting threes in the the 30s makes Clank the Clown a great 3 point shoot, then I guess I'm a great golfer. Korver shot 56% from three for the season. That's a great 3 point shooter. When the clown shoots 0 for 7 you will still be pretending he's a "great 3 point shooter."

When Korver shoots 1-3, 0-1, 1-5, 1-5, 0-1, 2-5 from three will you still be pretending that Korver is better than CJ at anything besides his haircut ...and this:

Per 48 minutes Utah Jazz are +13 pts with CJ Miles on the floor and -10.3 when he is off the floor

Clank the Clown has to be the greatest heckling name in the history of Jazzfanz.

ha, it is pretty dang good.

I still don't buy +/- stats. Too many confounding variables, imo. Who else is on the floor with them, etc.

I think tonight I'll start a thread for every shot CJ takes so we can really get to the bottom of this.

Was just going to post this, thanks for doing so.

You can talk about how many shots he has missed, his inconsistencies, whatever you will. But this right here speaks volumes. I think he has helped a lot of our 4th quarter defensive stops.

I agree, do it. A new thread for every shot he takes. Plus, maybe a thread for every pass he makes, whether good or bad. Merge all threads we make for every time he smiles though.

What about turn overs and every time Clank the Clown lets someone have a layup on him and frowns. Don't forget the frowns and faces.

I know! Who would shoot that shot? I'm still laughing.

Can I nominate this for dumbest post of the year award? You've given plenty, but this is over the cliff edge stupid.

I'm going with his repeated claim that the Jazz traded Mathews.

CJ is far from perfect but is performing like a 3mil player in the NBA does, if he was consistent he wouldn't be a bench/borderline starter type plaer, he'd be a unquestioned starter and making at least what Millsap does (since I'm sure rain forgot that OKC offered him a contract and the Jazz matched). Last game his TO's where really the only bad thing he did, his D and rebounding was serviceable and obviously his offense was outstanding.

Question is, can CJ back this up with another good game against Sacramento or does he disappear for another 4 games? The problem with (and my criticism of) Miles isn't that he doesn't have the talent. It's that he is never consistent. He'll follow up a good or great game with a couple of 1-7, 2-10 stinkers. To be a decent starter or 6th man, CJ needs to be in the 44% range (he's at 39% now). He's raised his 3-pt FG's to 36%. That's the minimum point where he needs to be.

While i agree he needs consistency it would help if they had anybody else on the bench that could lend a hand at some point. Right now Cj is the only scorer off of the bench.

I've said it repeatedly and the haters still can not come up with a counter to it. But CJ has been in during every one of our runs to come back and win these games they are behind in. Some of them he has shot like crap but it can't be pure luck that he's the only player in for every single one of them.
