What's new

Official Raja is a useless loser club

Sadly we have him for two more years. His numbers in Phoenix were an aberration playing their up tempo style, just like Marions.
 
Bell plays the game the right way and knows what's going on but he is woefully unproductive. He sets a nice tone in the sense that he gets after it defensively and he doesn't shoot himself out of slumps. Start him and yank him 8 minutes into the 1st and 3rd quarters and if there's a halfway conceivable reason to play him more, do it on a case-by-case basis. Miles and Hayward need to play a lot more, and the clear candidate to lose minutes is the guy that just looks outclassed and can't put any kind of tangible contribution up.

His intangibles matter, but not enough to demand more than 16 MPG. Playing him less will probably get him to play with more energy and anything you can squeeze out of his rigor-ravaged corpse is a benefit.

AK has been pitifully disengaged from playing anything resembling winning basketball.

Right. The fact that he's a career role-player on the perimeter in his mid-30's has nothing to do with it.
 
Can someone get Raja Bell to please read these forums.

Next game, if the Jazz are behind or getting blown out, someone should make a sign that says WHAT THE BELL IS WRONG WITH THIS TEAM???!!!!!!!!
 
On my 2K11 'chise, Bell gets around 14-16 minutes per with everyone healthy. I've got Miles getting anywhere from 20-24 a game and Hayward 10-15. I know, it's just a game.
 
I'm all in this club. Bell is a giant disaster. We've seen mention here of his zero points, how about his slow-footed pathetic defense? How many times did he get burned, allowing a player to get all the way to the rim? And he had 6 fouls. And a technical foul. Also, he drew zero fouls and took 3 whole shots (ie, created zero defensive pressure, basically allowing a 5 on 4 opportunity for SA all night). 1 rebound assist and block all night.

I am disgusted.
 
What's odd is that I've never heard questions to the team, coaching staff, or discussion on the radio about Bell's obvious absence. Why?
