Jameer, Where You At

Do you remember the commercial with the old lady from Boost Mobile, chirping her friends and relatives, “where you at?”  I pose the same question to Jameer, Where you at?  Seriously, your game is missing like where’s Waldo, or my car keys, that I tend to lose from time to time.  Through the first 9 games of the season, Nelson is averaging 6.8 ppg, 5.4 apg, while shooting 37% from the field and 23% from the 3 point line.....ouch! Nelson is trying to adjust to Ryan Anderson's hot start and Hedo Turkoglu's playmaking ability has been efficient thus far this season.  Those could be a couple of reasons he’s deferring to many of the offensive weapons that the Orlando Magic have in their starting lineup, all the while establishing the post game of Howard and Stan Van Gundy making a effort with Richardson on post up plays.

So what Nelson is supposed to do?  This is a guy who is a career 45% field goal and 39% three-point shooter.  Also a reminder, Chris Duhon is outplaying Nelson, yes, I do repeat.....Chris Duhon!  Maybe these two bump into each other at practice and switch souls, that’s the only logical thing I can think of. There's another thing to consider, with Dwight Howard’s trade request pending and having a wish list that Includes some very prominent point guards, did this get under Nelson’s skin?  He has a tattoo on his arm “Only God can Judge Me,” did Dwight pending future affect Nelson’s play?  Something is not right with Jameer and I have been pro Jameer for very a long time but something is affecting him.  It has been noted that Orlando is still looking for a playmaker that can mesh with the post play but in my opinion, I think Orlando can still play with Nelson at point guard with another wing that can create his own shot as well. Teammates are aware of the aggressive Nelson and how dangerous he can be, you don’t want to leave a 39% three point shooter open too often and if we are going to make a run deep in the playoffs, he needs to look for Howard first and If nothing presents itself, take flight Mighty Mouse! Dwight may be the Franchise, but there's no doubt that this individual is the X-Factor.
