As you likely know, we at Buzzer Beater are big fans of spindly Sonics swingman Mikael Gelabale. Hence, we were elated when he started getting big minutes and putting up big numbers. However, after one bad shooting performance, Jelly has found himself again at the bottom of the rotation. What gives, PJ? Surely you can’t be that enamored of Damien Wilkins’ low-ceiling, high volume one-on-one ball?

We think the decision is coming not from PJ, but from his bosses. Specifically, Sam Presti saw in Jelly’s sharp-shooting and quick-footed ‘D’ the potential for a Sonics winning streak, thus jeopardizing the team’s shot at a top lottery pick. Or perhaps it goes even higher: Clayton Bennett saw the writing on the wall, and didn’t want the lovable Frenchman saving Seattle basketball. Or perhaps even higher, from David Stern himself.

So, Buzzer Beaten Sonics faithful, take these rumors and run. Put on your Ron Mexico jersey and spread them far and wide. As with our team, they can’t take our Jelly without a fight.

For old times’ sake: the savior shows the kids of North Beach Elementary how to stay fit AND have fun!
