J.J. Redick had 15 points in the first half against Portland. He’s been going to the hoop and drawing contact repeatedly.  J.J. finished the game with 22 points shooting 9 of 13 from the floor, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 assists.  Final Score: Magic 110 Trailblazers 104.

Brent Barry you must realize by now that J.J.’s not just jumpshots. He can certainly sink the three’s, make the jumpers from the floor, make floaters, finish at the rim with contact, shoot just under 90% from the line, move relentlessly without the ball, run pick and roll and pop and hard cut backdoor, and efficiently make plays for his teammates. So, Brent, it’s time to stop disrespecting J.J. on NBA TV.

At 1:48 of this video, Watch Gustavo Ayon block Damian Lillard’s shot at the rim! Everybody likes the posterizing dunks. So, let’s recognize a great defensive chase-down and stuff at rim!!!
