You have memory loss or something? You don't remember the way T.J played all of last year? He was huge last year and he's been solid when healthy this year. I'd say he's healthy right now.
Jose will do Jose no matter what role. Dude is just efficient as hell. He'll do the same damage he did off the bench that he did when he was starting. T.J.'s sporadic play was when he was off the bench, but he also wasn't 100%.
I have nothing against the way TJ Ford played last year or the first part of this season. However, since he's returned from his injury he's been TERRIBLE. I can't stand watching him uselessly dribble the ball around for 18 seconds before turning it over or shooting a fadeaway jumper.The Raptors may have been at their best with TJ starting and Calderon coming off the bench, but that definitely hasn't been the case as of late. Calderon's passing and decision making is superior to that of TJ Ford.Also, his shooting percentages are much better than TJ Ford's. He is more efficient, and he always looks to get the team involved; therefore, he should get the majority of minutes in the playoffs.
Man Jose is terrible on defense. There was actually a stat done by some bloak (Hollinger probably) that had Jose as stat for stat the worst defensive pgin the league. When he's on the court, opposing guards go off.
Jose can't penetrate either. All he does is a pick and roll with Bosh. He makesour team a jump-shooting team. T.J. can create his own shot and a shot for others.
But word to Scoop Jackson article, they each do what the other one doesn't. In the end its all about both of them smacking Orlando.
