You guys really think Jrue's problem is Jrue?

If I had to run uncle al's special Olympic plays all the fricking time I'd lose confidence in everything I do.

Alvin Gentry is the main reason Jrue is struggling. We don't run plays. The plays we do run our players can't run them right. Al is shite. And it's fricking ruining Jrue Holiday.

The Jrue overreactions are cringe-worthy

Dude was playing the best ball of his career and like an all star, 2 weeks ago. Now random 10 day contract guys are better, according to TD

Its because the people saying that didn't watch the team before we traded for Boogie, so they've only seen him struggle.

There is a very legitimate discussion to be had about what Jrue's real worth is this off-season and whether or not we can find a better replacement. But the the people saying that Frazier is better clearly haven't watched this team for long.


To answer the OP, Jrue is trying to adjust to losing 3 guards that he played a lot of minutes with this year and the past few years in Tyreke. He's trying to run an offense by a coach who wants to run fast paced with shooters to space the floor, but we don't have any shooters. Jrue is caught in the middle of it.

I'd love it if we could see what Jrue could do with a coach that would utilize the best front court in the NBA, but unfortunately we won't be able to know that this July when we are trying to decide whether or not to re-sign him.

We will never know how good Jrue can be with al running the show.

Chris Paul said a few years back Jrue Holiday was the most underrated player in the league. The man has real skill and no coach to help him bring it out.

The guys calling him "Drew" aren't legit?

Jrue is arguably a top 30 PG in the league when you factor in his future salary and ability to stay on the court.

You are very much in the minority when it comes to holiday.

This board needs to fully realize he has no help on or off the court (backcourt specifically)
