hey Coachn! member waaaay back when, when our 'gaffney is a playa' fan club couldn't muster up enuf folks to have a poker game? we were instead swamped with the nba expectations for a guy who, 4 years later, still can't pass, rebound, handle, or block shots. at least now, that nonsense has simmered down to the mildly insane complaints that 'we have to get him open. we have to run more stuff for him. we have to continually make excuses for his inability to pass, rebound, handle, or block shots.' the man couldn't do these before his unfortunate injury, sooooooooo, why would anyone think that he can do those now?
on the udder hand, our man drives left, our man drives right. our man drains 3's, our man sticks his nose into the board battle. our man can iso and score. our man doesn't turn it over. our man makes every free throw. our man is only into his second season. barely. my fav jmoney play today was his flying leftside direct attack into their big stiff, then -whoop!- rightside layin. the thing with him and his growing ability is that any honest observer will admit 'he can do that again and again-it ain't luck, it's just the first time that we're seeing it.' sweeeeet.
to be fair, he made a few too many mistakes on d today by being too aggressive trying for steals, and triggering team d misalignment which led to some buckets. coach dan gonna loudly, and regularly, point this out at film session.
hey crankies! i called the jax dunk in pregame haiku! sit on it, alla youse clueless complainers.
coach dan building a monster of a franchise. 'nuff said.
