Why we need to Trade Jefferson through February 6th (Stats)

[The Norm]

This makes sense if you don't watch the team. But nobody else knows basketball, right? It's good to know that Jefferson's points don't actually count (at a low efficiency) and we should strike them from the record.

This thread comes down to those who have eyeballs and those who have a mental deficiency. The Jazz demand that Jefferson score ever possession. The offense depends on him. He takes these possessions because they're giving it to him. Watch a game.

Sure Jefferson's points count, but so do all the ones that he gives up on the other end.

Jefferson needs to boost his FG% by about 10% before it even begins to justify his terrible defense.

 

[The Norm]

I mean, just watching this game it should be incredibly obvious.

How many times do you have to see Jefferson let his man destroy him or just watch somebody penetrate and score before you realize it?

His 1 on 1 defense is easily below average and his help defense is non-existent. It's been this way his entire career and it's a huge reason why he's never in his life been on a winning team.

Yay... Let's see Burks

Sap wide open in the post and Jefferson shoots and misses a jumper

Wrong thread.... Ha!

 

[The Norm]

What a surprise, Jazz lose tonight because Jefferson comes in, sucks *** on defense, and blows it on offense.

Big Al's performance after he came back into the game:

3:32 - Allowed a Roy Hibbert and-1
3:21 - Misses shot
2:42 - Gets shot blocked
2:35 - Misses shot
1:49 - Travel

Wow, thank God for his franchise-saving offense, huh?

 

[DutchJazzer]

All jefferson
15 shots for 16 points No D 7 rebounds.
Millsap 7 shots 10 rebounds for 18 points.

screw al jefferson i dont care anymore

 

[DutchJazzer]

Thank you al jefferson you gave us a change at a better draft

 

[The Norm]

To the slower kids who think our offense is toast without Jefferson, he didn't score ONCE during our comeback, and our offense DIED when he came back and it went through him again to finish the game.

In every game he's missed, the Jazz have not had trouble scoring. Scoring was down I'll admit, but only by a bit compared to the insane boost our defense got.

 

[Weezur]

Ok, that's 2 games that are completely on Big Al.

Todays game:
1st Quarter-Terrible D on Hibbert
4th Quarter-Terrible clutch time performance
New York game:
Incredibly awful pick n roll D allowing Lin to get anywhere.
