A Brutal Night For Jabari

Without a doubt, last night was Jabari Parker’s worst game of the season.

All throughout his time on the floor, Jabari struggled to get going offensively, missing jumper after jumper while rarely attempting to make his way inside for a trademark ‘Bully Ball Bari’ bucket.

It wasn’t until the 9:26 mark of the fourth quarter where Parker finally got his first score of the night on a nice slam after muscling away an offensive rebound. Unfortunately, Jabari added one more score after that, thus finishing his night going 2-of-13 from the field and only scoring four points.

That wasn’t all, however, as Parker added in three turnovers, the biggest being his aforementioned turnover off a Celtics turnover that occurred near the end of regulation.

Although he did finish with a plus-minus of just -2, Jabari’s night was a brutal one to witness and just a big bummer overall. I guess here’s hoping this was rock bottom? (raises hands and shrugs shoulders).
