Antawn Jamison Discussion: Cockroach

If hes not hitting his shots he can be pretty useless. He can have good rebounding games here and there but hes inconsistent in that end. Hes just hopeless on Defense its not about effort its just he simply doesnt know how to play D or have the defenisve instincts, he made a nice play last night got in the passing lane and got Kobe a wideopen dunk. He is who he is for the last 12-13 yrs he can put up some points in a hurry if its a good night, cant really be relied on much else.

He played alright. I liked that he worked hard to be in the right place at the right time. His 3 point plays helped keep us in the game, real veteran stuff. These are the kinds of games I find value in him.

Good stuff.

His defense was better than Pau's and was able to be off-set by his offense, again unlike Pau.

I think I'm willing to concede that this was a bad signing now. I like Jamison, seems like a good guy, good teammate, real professional guy, but he is bad out there. Any offense he does give is cancelled out by his horrible, horrible defense. He's old and it shows, he's slow, he can't jump, he's not close to what he once was. I think it was a smart signing, low risk, possible high reward, it just hasn't worked out. Maybe he turns it around, but I'm not seeing it, he seems physically incapable of playing defense.

12 points today, he showed up in a game that mattered, nice to see.

He looked like the savvy veteran we were expecting to have. Damn that was nice to see.

He showed up again, keep it going. His defense wasn't even horrible in that 2nd quarter, he and Pau actually did ok. He keeps missing more 3's than I like, but overall it was a very good game from him. Hopefully he keeps it up and I spoke way too soon about him a few posts up.

His inconsistent shooting really pisses me off at times, but he took it the basket really nicely today.

Also, the guy tries hard on defense but he's really bad...
