Whats Going On (with Jerebko)?

[rollie mass]

need some help processing the lack of use of jj against warriors and then charlotte game he had fresh legs-
OK he has been in slump but he has still been active on d--

Players are playing better ahead of him. That's all.

Crowder is play good ball.

Agree ......Sully , KO are healthy finally .  Then Amir is playing good .  Lee is there sometimes with offense.

Zeller sucks ......

So if he wants play n time ......he really needs to knock down his jumpers .......JJ effort is there ......but bricking every layup and jumper from every range is not going to get you court time ahead of anybody but Zeller
 

Still plays great defense ......and I bet he will see time tonight against the Cavs covering LeBron

I don't know. Jerebko started the season off well. Then his shooting dropped off a cliff around mid-November and he has struggled for a solid month now.

I think this could be a good moment to get Mickey into the rotation and see how he does. Give Jerebko a breather for 2-3 weeks.

i've never really believed in Jerebko. so he's pretty much playing to my expectations

[GzUP617]

 He hasn't looked good at any point this year,  I don't know about any slump.

Same here. He's a 10th player or so on a team. Jerebko played the best ball of his career last year after coming to Boston. I think we are seeing more of the Jerebko that has been seen in the league for years.

Yeah, I don't know what people really want.  I think Crowder and Thomas were right about wanting to shorten the rotation.  And if we're only going to go 9 deep, I don't see how Jerbenko gets PT.

Thomas
Bradley
Crowder
Johnson
Sullinger

Smart (when he's back, Young for now)
Turner
Olynyk
Lee

I guess you can take Lee out for Jerbenko, but then we'd be going even smaller more often.

I like Jerebko.  I like his defense, his hustle, his rebounding.  He's a hard-nosed, gritty dude.

That said, offensively he's been pretty bad.  The qualities listed above, however, mean he'll most likely be given more opportunities to contribute at some point this season. 

[Tr1boy]

No calls for him, no passes.

KO is not passing to him . IT barely passes to him

Maybe because he can't hit anything this year. The blame is on Jerebko, nobody else. If he starts making shots you can rest assured that teammates would look for him more often. He's a bench player and needs to take advantage of his opportunities, despite how limited those opportunities might be. Also, why in the world are you even suggesting having plays run for him? What are these plays exactly? Isolations that will result in a pump fake, drive left (never right), and throw up a wild running hook? Sure, sign me up!
