nope
Just saying!
nope
Nope, miss the grittiness but he wasn't the X Factor of this series.
on one hand i think about how he sucked pretty much all season. on the other im pretty sure he would've scored more than danny with all that pressure in games 6 and 7.
we'll never know. his selfishness caused his own demise and that's a shame.
I would've much rather have had him out there than aAnny ing Green throwing up brick after brick and turning it over every time he dribbles. 1-19........
He made the decision to leave us, tbh.
With him, we may not get to the finals.
Yes it hurt, bc regardless of sucking in the reg season, he is a playoff performer, and would get in a Spurs face to play with some balls.
But Pop had a bigger ego than SJax tho. Thanks Pop.
Wow. I realized just how much I overrated Stephen Jackson just by reading this thread.
Actually I was thinking about this yesterday. And though it really wasn't something like Pop really wanted to get rid of him because of his play or anything like that, it was his at ude.
But anyways, I really would have loved Jack there in game 7. You know he lives for those games. They had Battier, who has played pretty bad all year only to come up big when it matters most.
I can see Jack doing that, just like game 6 of last year.
Parker, Leonard, Manu, Jack, Kawhi would've been a nice lineup instead of having green in there. oh wel
jesus christ, no.
NO!!!
Game 7 of the Finals...
Now that we know the Spurs didn't win the le it's easy to say that the Spurs missed Stephen Jackson. Perhaps they did or he could of helped but you got to ask yourselves something. Would Danny Green have developed into the type of player he turned out to be throughout the playoffs? Would Danny Green have produced the same spectacular performance in the NBA finals if the Stephen Jackson was around?
After all there are rumors out there that his references about being better than anybody else were references to Manu and Danny. Maybe Capt Jack would of turned it on in the playoffs and hit some big shots for us in Games 6 and 7. Maybe Green's would of never gotten out of his slump because most of you forget how terrible Danny Green was playing during the last month of the regular season.
We'll never know what would of happened had the Spurs had Capt Jack but on a personal note I would have much rather have Capt Jacks instead of Manu who cost Timmy his 5th ring. Manu sucked(s) balls and his legacy will forever be stained because of his pathetic performance in the NBA finals.
We wouldn't even be in the Finals with that dude.
It did hurt us. We lost a valuable win defender. The way this series went down, Jack would have been in our best defensive lineup:
Duncan on Bosh
Diaw on James
Leonard on Wade
Jackson on Allen, Battier or Miller
Parker on Chalmers
Manu riding the bench.
Instead, we had
Neal on Allen, Battier or Miller
and
Manu on Allen, Battier or Miller
Both got torched every time.
You guys didn't really watch Jack play this season.
Jack had a ty season but he still could have been used to eat minutes especially when other role players started ting the bed.
Jacks shot is so slow, he would not have had any room/time to even get a shot off against Miami. His defense was good, but so is greens..spurs needed offense and rebounding, when the pressure was on. I thought their d was good enough to win. So no, Jackson wasn't needed.
Imo diaw would have been more useful, but pop didn't want to play him much even..jack would have seen the floor as much as Tmac did.
I don't know. Jack was terrible this year. . .and tbh, last year too until the ass end of the OKC series. Normally I would say no. . .
But I wouldn't argue with "anyone but Ginobili" those last 2 games. I'd have chipped in to pay Jackson's salary if I had a guarantee Pop would've benched Manu and played Jackson in the 2nd half in both games instead. First half of game 6 too since Manu was at his worst at that point, but it would've been unreasonable to expect Pop to bench him until maybe halfway through the 2nd quarter after the game he has in game 5. So from that point on, I would've liked to see Jackson instead of Ginobili.
Even lazy, arrogant Stephen Jackson couldn't have been that ty.
As close as the series was a little extra size on the outside could have made the difference. So, the short answer is, yes.
No regrets. Game 6 WAS ours, it was over. Miracle of Miracles kept the cHeat alive to win game 7.
Jack would have played ty defense on Lebron but guarantee he would have made at least 8 threes in game 7 or 6, just sayin
I would.
Then again, it was Jack that quit on the team, not the other way around... and I'll always be grateful to Jack, but that's that.
