Utah game. He's jumping much better and making plays that reminds me of 1999 and I think he's answered those questions about being clutch although there'll always be those who will still doubt him until he makes a championship winning shot.

3) As to the temp players, I think Damon Jones will be cut and JJ will stay. There's already a lot of teams waiting to claim him off waivers as soon as Bibby gets back. There's only one reason to keep JJ, and that is to keep him away from the Fakers. He'd be a perfect fit for LA, a veteran who doesn't need plays to be drawn for him. He can get his points just like a Rick Fox or a Robert Horry. If I'm Petrie I keep him even if it means putting him on the IR!

4) Wallace's inconsistent playing time has me confused now. At the beginning I though he was gonna at least get some PT but RA seem to have forgotten about him and has fallen too much in love with JJ. I just hope Wallace keeps his head up and continue working on his game. His jumper looked for a few games but he's looked lost on offense lately when JJ came aboard. This is one of the thing that's got me scratching my head.

5) When everyone's healthy, I hope guys like Vlade, C_Webb, and Bobby get some rest so the whole team can be healthy come playoff time. Again we need Pollard to spell Vlade although Keon can do an adequate job at the Center position.

I don't think Cleaves helped himself by his play in the last 2 minutes of the game. It looked like instead of running plays and setting up the offense he was looking to drive to the basket and score or take shots when he should have passed off to another player.

Jones' play earlier in the game were more what I think Coach wants from the point guard.
