Who's Hot?: Dwight Howard In the previous 3 games Howard average 31, 15 and 4 blks, 29, 17 and 5 blks and 29 16 and 0 blks, leading his team to a 3-0 record during that stretch of time. The team has been playing well of late, and that is mainly thanks to this stud.
Who's Not?: Utah Jazz They own the 2nd worst record in the league at 8-19. They are allowing 107 ppg. What is even more alarming is the 4-12 record at home. In addition they are allowing 26.7 apg.
Who's Hot?: Chicago Bulls The spot the best record in the league and conference at 25-5. They are scoring 105 ppg and allowing 89.5 ppg, 1st in defense in the league. They own a 15-2 home record, best home record in conference and league. Their 10-3 away record is the best road record in the league as well. They have 2 players scoring over 25 ppg, 1 player over 10+ apg, 2 players with 2+ bpg, 3 players with 8+ rbd, and 3 players with .500+ fg% The team is also the least prone to turnovers in the league.
Who's not?: Paul Pierce He is averaging a career low in points at 14.4, down 7 ppg. He has an extremely long contract in 4 years for $75 million. The fg% is also down .028 points. In his previous 3 games he was 4-7 from the field for 11 pts, 4-14 from the field for 10 pts and 5-11 from the field for 12 pts. During this stretch his team went 0-3.

Yeah, Dwight definitely had a big day today.
He's been a bit inconsistent thus far in the season, especially with his shooting. But hopefully today was a sign of things to come.

I do honestly wonder how Jeremy, J, JRDW, JRDWLM, I enjoy donkey penis, IWABPD or whatever name he's going by now picks these players/teams. Like he uses a random number generator or some shit.

I understand if people disagree with the article, don't think Jeremy did enough, or do not think it warrants points. But the kid does put effort into the articles, is constantly trying to come up with new ideas, and help the league as much as possible.
How about instead of belittling the guy at every opportunity, try encouraging him, giving him ideas on how to improve his articles, or offer to help on another article. Krupinski helped, and though it wasn't one of the top articles ever, it was a nice read.
Am I writing this because he's my assistant GM, yeah, I probably am. That being said, he just gets ripped on way to much for what he's trying to do and I'm sick of seeing it.

It was so bad before, and its worse now. I just dont get it. Its a waste of time, and its obviously not the first time.
Are all of his articles shitty? No. But its getting to the point where I think he just throws some shit up there and he gets points for them, and it isnt fair.

No. But its getting to the point where I think he just throws some shit up there and he gets points for them, and it isnt fair. and that's why you told him to improve the article. if he doesn't improve the article, so be it, he gets no points. that's also why you developed a new system, so no one can generate 16 rps for articles, like jeremy did last year. things are set in place to stop what happened last year, so it's about time people stop what they did last year as well, bitching about jeremy at every point. that being said, jeremy has to stop bringing stuff on himself, as well.

Aaron, people will continue to bitch about Jeremy until he steps up and is consistently contributing sound material, be it articles or regular comments. Jeremy needs to be more consistent. He doesn't deserve to be above criticism simply because he tries hard.

Aaron, the reason people criticize him is simple. He brings it on himself. I respect you, you are one of the best GM's in the league, and probably one of the best I've ever been in a league with.
He gets ripped because the majority of the articles he writes are pointless, they are things Hellen Keller could do.
I do give him credit for trying to write articles and contribute, but all he's doing is drawing in more and more criticism. If he consistently wrote good articles, a bad one every now and then would be fine, but I'd say 80% of his articles are utter crap, sorry to be so blunt, but it's true. As for people telling him how to improve his articles, we do tell him how to improve articles. All he does in most of his articles is post stuff that requires no thought and no analysis. Articles should be 50% analysis & 50% fact/statistics.
People don't rip on him because of the articles alone. I try to be nice to him, hell, in UOSL, I help him with DC's every time he asks because I don't want to be a dick and I try to be the better person. However, the reason that he gets shredded so much is that he tries WAY too hard. He comments on almost EVERY thread, even if it's completely pointless. I mean, if his posts were contributing something, no one would have an issue. He just seems to post just for the sake of it. I scroll down past his posts, it's quite ridiculous how meaningless they usually are.
You want someone to give him an example of a good article? Fine, I'll get one up within an hour or two.

People will agree/disagree on how this, and any similar situation, should be handled.
I can't say I agree or disagree with any points made so far, since I'm not really in this to argue about such a minor point; but I just wanted to point out how much Jeremy is being ripped on, and maybe it will change things a bit if someone pointed something out.

Helen Keller was very intellectual, wrong person to use for a comparison.
