NBA RECAP 11/6/08

MAGIC 98, SIXERS 88
Turk/Shard combined had near identical 20/8/4 games (Turk only had 3 assists), while the Sixer offense struggled again. J.J. Redick had a second straight DNP confirming he has fallen out of the rotation. He may have blown his last chance with the team. Orlando has won 3 in a row (3-2), while Philly falls to 2-4.

Why do you hate JJ Reddick so much? He's missing these shots because he was shooting over 7 footers.

I don't hate Redick. He is averaging 0.7 ppg in 13 mpg. What do you expect me to say?

Rashidi said...

Think about Bruce Bowen's paltry offensive contribution.

Now imagine if Bruce Bowen were the worst defensive player in the league.

That's JJ Redick.

Anyone who still expects him to be even an average NBA player are kidding themselves, and have been since the 2006 draft.

Okay... I was foolish to think that my statement even had any foundation.
