Roy,
Jameer is a VERY average defender who is undersized in terms of heighth. He was a very marginal All-Star to say the least (as is Mo Williams as well!!!). He was averaging 5.4 assists and was replaced by a guy that started all 48 games for a Western Conf. contender that was also averaging 5.4 assists. Please, let's stop being quite so dramatic. I am so tired of almost everyone blowing up Nelson's GREAT loss and comparing it to us losing KG. (I am NOT saying that you are guilty of that exactly, just of a little exaggeration when it comes to Jameer, that's all.)

I'm assuming that you wouldn't agree that:
1) The Magic were "injury free" this year; or
2) Jameer contributes nothing other than "jacking threes"?
Those are the statements I was disagreeing with. His loss wasn't as big as our loss of KG, but it wasn't irrelevant, either.
As for Jameer, he was the most efficient PG in the entire NBA this year (in terms of shooting), and he was a starter on the #1 defense on the league. A lot of people are downplaying his contributions, and that seems silly to me.
