You never know what you have until it’s gone, and I’m positive Tj has been longing to play competent basketball since the night he was violently hacked. His ten minutes played is the only upside in the game(02/08/08) against the La Clippers. I’m happy he’s back and I hope he misses the game dearly. The Raps had absolutely no rationale of losing that game. There are reasons to why they lost that the average onlooker wouldn’t see. For example: Perhaps Jose Calderon is feeling a bit uptight and edgy because now he has competition, in Tj. That really shouldn’t be a problem since these gentlemen are professionals. However, everyone is human, so consider it for a moment. Calderon is a pure-point-guard and this team has been his team for the last 6 weeks…He is one of the team leaders, a big creative source, and basically is in charge of our entire offensive vent. No question he earned the license to lead. But now as Tj is inserted back in to the line up, a bench player albeit (correctly), Calderon’s game is anticipated to be in tip-top form. Now he has a voice in the back of his head telling him, if he doesn’t execute well, there are other options for the Coach. There is no room for bad games or off-nights. Tonight, his game was sluggishly under-par, and I feel it was because Tj Ford is unexpectedly showing glimpse of his true talents so quickly. The competition between Jose and Tj is apparently actually vastly effective in beneficial manners, but the mind is a delicate quandary, and I took notice in Jose’s discomfort. Have no worries, if anything, Jose will be pushed harder and higher…Just ask yourself, who is the better point-guard? The athletic aide who will increase the Raps’ chances of winning gamely. It’s a lovely luxury to have two really skilled point-guards…if of course brotherhood and friendship is intertwining amongst it all……
