Bigger Injury? Jameer with Disclocated Right Shoulder

[TheMartian]

They'd probably get into the mix for Marbury as well. That is if Jameer will be out for a considerable amount of time.

CP3 injury is bigger.

If he misses real time the Hornets could be on the outside looking in by the time he gets back. They are only 3 games out of 9th place as it is.

I'm gonna kill myself if I see Anthony Johnson playing for 6 weeks or whatever

[Mr Excitement]

call my homeboy jason williams. he's in florida right now. magic, do it.

[Showtime:Part2]

hey i wonder if this is karma like it was for bynum? does this mean jameer is a really bad person? i mean, bad luck would have nothing to do with injuries.

Nelson will be significantly more noticeable of a loss. Odom has the game to be a starter on most teams in the NBA while Johnson is questionable if he would even be a backup for most of the good teams out there.

The real question is if Bynum will be back for the playoffs and if so what type of Bynum will the Lakers be getting back. If he can't go then or is significantly less effective then his loss will have much more impact.

Wow, I feel people are really slurping Nelson way too hard.

The reason they have gone from a playoff team to contender is:

A Dwight has finally got some reliable post moves and just gets better every year anyway.

B Rashard has stepped his game up.

C They have all been together for another year along with more playoff experience

D Yes Jameer's play has impacted and helped. This is because he has gone from oft injured scrub with a streaky jumper to a slighty above average point guard with a good jumper. Nothing more.

The only reason this is going to effect the Magic is because your backup is Anthony freakin Johnson and you really don't have a 3rd PG.

It's alright though, Nelson isn't even a playmaker, most of his assists come from dumps to the post and kicking the ball to an open shooter when the defense collapses on him while he is mid-shot attempt, which was probably a bad shot anyway.

As long as guys step up and make their 3's, it's gonna almost be like he was never there and then everyone will realise how uber overrated he is and what a farce it was for him to make the ASG.

everything you posted is an understatement on jameers skills

[lovehoops01]

That poster ripping on Jameer is probably Brian Hill, who never trusted Jameer enough to allow the PG to shine when he coached the Magic -- or some Magic point guard who is mad that he isn't here anymore because they wanted Nelson to be the starter.

It's going to hurt the Magic -- a lot. The Magic don't have a good history with shoulders either. Darrell Armstrong missed like 18 months when he dislocated his shoulder way back and Tony Battie missed an entire season. Jameer is a tough little guy, but he needs a strong shoulder to play the way he plays. Except for Dwight, he was the player they could least afford to lose. This is very bad news.

And it was really classy watching Jason Terry, Jason Kidd and Josh Howard laughing, too.

Dwight will keep on Dwighting

I think this is really the key. If Jameer misses significant time, I still think Orlando can maintain a top three seed. As long as Dwight stays healthy, the Magic can manage as long as Jameer is healthy in time for May and June.

VINCE CARTER to the ASG here we come!

[SPuL]

This sucks for the Lakers too.. With the Cavs/Celts/Magic all stealing games from each other, it helped our case to get homecourt in the finals.. If Jameer is done that's 1 less team the top 2 in the east have to worry about

[cwas2882]

****

[Forest]

I am not trying to diminish Jameer's value but the Magic can win without him.

At worst they will be locked into the third spot.

[Kefa461]

This season still has a long way to go...alot still can happen...

[Alex_De_Large]

Honestly, is there a big difference between Nelson and A. Johnson? Nelson is getting over rated here, he can shot some 3's and what else? one good game against the Lakers don't makes him a star or something.
Hope to see Vince Carter in the all-star.

There's so much stupid in this post, it might just make my head explode.

The Magic are gonna feel this injury big time. Jameer's been the catalyst to their rise into the elite.

[C'mon Cavs]

Biggest injury = Z and Delonte out at the same time.

[Bgil]

Bynum is the bigger injury simply because the Magic aren't going to win a title this year with or without Jameer. Nelson is really just the difference between getting knocked out of the playoffs by the Cavs in the second round or the Celtics in the third round. BFD.

Bynum is the difference between the LArry O'Brien trophy or trashing another Western Conference Championship banner (since the Lakers don't hang them) or maybe even losing to San Antonio in the WCF.

wow, okay, first off to Lakers fans that have come in with the purple and gold glasses on, you still have this guy named Kobe, who can do EVERYTHING on the court. Defend, score, pass well and be a leader. You have a starting lineup that includes Pau Gasol,Kobe Bryant,Derek Fisher and Odom..That last man is irrelevant. Without Bynum yes the Lakers will take a small hit defensively. But at least you have a team that can easily step up and cover hat Bynum brought. Kobe and Gasol can score more, Odom can rebound a bit more and so on. They are all capable of covering for him.. As they did last time...

People REALLY under value Jameer nelson. He is our floor leader first and foremost. His dribbling penetration and excellent shooting are the reasons Dwight Howard can play the way he does. AJ is so terrible that the opposing PG can just leave him be and double Dwight all night, which leaves our wing men guarded at all times. The pick your poison thing REALLY falls apart with Jameer off of the floor. He may on average a small number of assists, but so many of his passes are perfect on point to Dwight for layups, which ultimately turn into fouls and missed layup attempts.(Which he does not recieve an assist for) Nelson has wicked fast foot speed and an insane ability to score in bunches. AJ is probably the slowest PG in the NBA.(Name another one) not to mention he MIGHT be able to give us close to 10pts a game while starting.

This team is now in DIRE need to make a move for another PG if Nelson is out a bit. This season that was a title contending one, without jameer could turn into a 6th seed playoff spot and getting kicked out of the first round(Which, he shouldn;t be out that long. But that is just putting you in perspective to what he means to this team.)


Jameer to Orlando is the Deron of Utah, the CP3 of NO, the Brandon Roy of Port, Etc....Without him, there is no true play maker.. Yes Hedo gets that label..BUT HE IS NOT ONE!
