818: 274: Jerry, do you have any complaints?

(Asking for monthly votes!) _2 818: 274: Jerry, do you have any complaints?

(Asking for monthly votes!) _2 This nominal punishment is equivalent to Jerry Stackhouse hitting Hornacek at no cost!

Look at it now, Jerry Stackhouse can shamelessly humiliate Hornacek without any repercussions.

So what does this mean?

Do good people deserve to be treated like they’re under the gun?

Jerry Stackhouse has been running his mouth since entering Philips Arena, but before, Roger didn’t care about those ridiculous things he said.

But now he thinks he can bully Jeff Hornacek just like before?

This isn’t just provoking Hornacek, it’s provoking the owner of Philips Arena.

“Shut up Jerry, Jeff has no grievance against you.

If you don’t respect him again, I promise you’ll experience even greater disrespect until you learn what respect means!” Roger finally spoke, marking his first words to Stackhouse today.

Roger’s words on the bus that day weren’t just lip service, he wouldn’t allow anyone to bully his teammates.

Jerry Stackhouse clearly underestimated the gravity of the situation: “Experience disrespect?

No, tonight I’m scoring 40 points here, no one will disrespect me!

I promise!

Your days of shamelessly humiliating me are over, you jerk!”

Alright, Roger actually hoped Stackhouse wouldn’t shut up, otherwise tonight would become very, very boring.

“I have no doubt about it Jerry, because you, a stat-padder, will go for crazy shots regardless of victory or efficiency.

Is getting high scores through crazy shots impressive?

Even if you let Shaq shoot 100 free throws, even he can easily score 40 points.

Even with unlimited firing permissions every game, you can only average 30 points.

If I shot as recklessly as you, I could get 50 points every game.”

Roger’s words shattered Jerry Stackhouse’s all-star bubble.

Why did Jerry Stackhouse get multiple 40+ games and a single 50+ this season, yet nobody considers him a star?

Because in more than half of his 40-point games, he ended up losing, and his scoring efficiency was extremely low.

Nowadays, many media outlets like to criticize AI’s scoring efficiency to highlight their professionalism.

Considering height and team lineup reasons, AI is indeed not known for scoring efficiency.

But Jerry Stackhouse’s scoring percentage this season is 2% lower than AI, who is known to be an inefficient scorer, barely reaching 40%!

Notably, in the 21-22 season, LeBron James led four trashy players averaging 30 points, missing the play-in tournament, yet their winning count was still higher than Jerry Stackhouse by one game.

This shows how useless Jerry Stackhouse’s scoring is.

He only looks like a player who can average 30 points, without the ability to match those stats.

“I’ve said it, it’s not that I want to shoot, it’s the team needs me to shoot!” Jerry Stackhouse defended himself.

“No team needs you to shoot Jerry, because you’ve never helped any team.

You claim the Pistons need you to shoot, but look at the team’s record, you haven’t helped them win more games.

Ultimately, you’re just a damn player who can’t even pad stats correctly.

By the way, I’ve already earned this season what you need an entire season to make.

Let me give you a new nickname related to God: One-Sixth Roger.”

Roger isn’t coddling Jerry Stackhouse; treating insults with silence won’t happen for the Hawks.

Stackhouse intended to trample Hornacek’s dignity to boost his confidence, but now he’s being stomped on by Roger.

After the game started, Stackhouse crossed the mid-line and saw Pippen guarding him.

Moreover, the Hawks didn’t even call for a double team.

Stackhouse might be the only player in the league averaging 30 points that no team would choose to double team against.

The difference between him and AI isn’t just those 2% shooting percentage, AI faced defense on a whole different level.

In the Sixer’s lineup, AI always faced the tightest double team every time he attacked.

While Jerry Stackhouse mostly faced single coverage.

Yet his shooting percentage is lower than AI, enough to illustrate the gap between them.

Seeing it was Old Pippen defending, Jerry Stackhouse aggressively drove to the basket, hoping to shut Roger up with scoring.

He indeed succeeded, Jerry Stackhouse used his speed to eat Pippen alive, and then shot a layup.

He must score high today, he must thoroughly defeat Roger!

As Stackhouse raised the ball, Roger came from behind and beautifully blocked the layup attempt, also knocking him out of bounds!

Roger’s block stats started to increase this season because he’s predicting opponents’ footwork and timing attack jumps better when chasing defenses.

As long as he captures that timing, Roger can easily block the ball.

If Roger fails to capture the timing, that only means the opponent traveled.

There’s also a change in his defensive awareness, as Roger previously liked to assist from the side or the front.

Now, Roger finds another kind of fun from approaching from behind, greatly boosting his enthusiasm for chase blocks.
