Okay, the anger is subsiding a bit now that the Bucks won. I’m still very upset that Jaren Jackson Jr. ended up scoring 43, but if the Bucks win, he can score all the points he wants. That banked in three was total BS though. If I make a vid for him (I’m totally not, I don’t want to re-anger myself and up punching things that should not be punched due to their hardness), that shot is not going to be included.
If Jackson can score 43, I don’t really see why Jabari Parker can’t score 43. Jackson’s a good player, but his shooting form is all messed up and he doesn’t have the scoring pedigree that Parker has had since he was in middle school. At the beginning of the season, I was just content for Parker to have a consistent role on a team that saw him averaging in the mid-teens. I am no longer content with that. Maybe I would be, if the Hawks were winning, but look at the standings. They’re not winning, even with Trae Young putting up some seriously mondo statlines.
Now what I want is for Parker to REALLY flex his scoring muscle and try and take over a whole game. He offered a teaser when he went off in the first half against the Bucks a few weeks ago, but that’s all it was, a teaser. I want the whole load. Un-managed, please. Thank you.
