    Most of you guys are all on the "Jack = Raptor's Defense" bandwagon

    Jack is a good point guard but all the defensive plays involved "BELOW .500 teams"... Jack did not play well in the first part of the season and he did not play well against pg less Boston!!!..let me rephrase this.. Jack did not contribute/have no effort what so ever in the Boston game.

    I bet you ... a million dollars if Jose plays well ... you guy will switch sides. All these "useless/false" controversy made up the media/fans are baloney.

        How many tough team do they fought?

        Remember the time when Jose (two years ago) face boston, spurs, new orleans (new year eve when they were good), and so on....

        "No one" have ever mention Jose defense until last year....when he was recovered from injured

        Why not see what Jose could offer on the court when he is 100 percent healthy and NBA ready (recover his basketball mechanics)... I know you guys will say Jose play horrible when he start this year... just remember we had a hard schedule in the beginning and he didn't play basketball in the summer...

        Lets see Jose in a couple more games before determining his fate

          Points surrendered per 100 possessions:
          Banks 113
          Jack 116
          Calderon 117

          BUT Banks is a net -5, Jack is a net -6, Calderon is net +5.

          I have NEVER seen any real difference in the defense provided by Jack or Calderon and Calderon is having the worst year of his career! He will get better!

            Jack did play well.

            He only let Parker go 9-11 and 23 pts.

            Triano says he didn't let anyone help and Jack was getting pissed because Parker kept schooling him! Part of JT's plan - But really Jose would have done just as well.

              It basically an illusion of the Jack = better defense for the raps

              But how about this....
              can you really say Derek Fisher a better defensive pg than Calderon or Jack? due to their team defense success?

              Its all about TEAM DEFENSE/Defensive System!

                If Triano is smart J.C will be on a short leash. If he doesn't get a hand in the shooter's face or if he gets blown by, take him out stat. With Banks being a little bulldog & Turk distributing the ball we're better (as a 2nd unit) at both ends of the floor. Banks stock went way up with me after he got up in G. Wallace' face last week.
                Banks is still a 3rd string PG. He didn't get skills because he got tougher.
                Raps will be better with a healthy Jose.
