RE: JJ in Phoenix

["Ravi Singh" <kelticsfan@attbi.com>]

Phoenix runs a system in which JJ is going to thrive.  I flipped between
the Boston and Phoenix games last night and the Suns gave JJ the freedom
to create for his teammates. They even posted him up and ran a couple of
plays for him.  He was on the floor at the end of the game and played
with poise and intelligence.  With respect to his comments, I think JJ
was referring to the fact that he hadn't received much playing time
recently.  

JJ's struggles in Boston were more a result of the woeful offensive
system Boston runs rather than his lack of passion or intensity for the
game.  In any event, Boston got some bench help and Phoenix gets a
quality player to help with their rebuilding process.

Subject: JJ in Phoenix


   JJ had 11 points on 4/8 shooting in 24 minutes, along with 3 steals,
3 
assists and 3 rebounds.  Milt had 6 points in 11 minutes.  I tried to 
cut'n'paste from the Suns website without success, but JJ says he is not

unhappy about the trade, that he was getting no minutes, but now has a
chance 
to play.
   Uh, JJ?  You STARTED for the first 20 or so games in Boston, y'know.
At 
any rate, no ill will here, may you have a fine career.
    As for the Dallas loss, it's a game which we wouldn't have expected
top 
win a week ago.  Dallas is a better team, they're at home.  So I
expected a 
loss and we got one, although it dure didn't come the way I figured it
would.
    Who would have thought that we'd be 2-4 on this trip, with the wins 
against Portland and the Lakers???
