    How many games did he play in his 2nd season? How many minutes did he average?

    Terrance Jones has averaged 3 minutes more than the guy coming off back injury in the last ten games.

    And he doesn't deserve those minutes....but I understand they probably want to prop up Jones' trade value a bit. Right now doing so is at the expense of the team though so I hope they change their mind.

    I just can't comprehend how D-mo is benched in favor of Jones.

    It's going to be hard enough finding someone to take him in a trade as is, if you put him in the role he really should be in then it would be impossible to trade him and you'd be stuck with him for the rest of the season.

    He had 0 rebounds tonight and the Rockets were getting out rebounded already. No reason to play him

    Points are more important than rebounds there are no rebounds on made buckets.

    Like I said before. D-Mo has been pretty bad so far. He's timid on offense and not efficient in his moves when he actually gets the ball. I don't necessarily blame him when he's getting six minutes a game.

    That being said, the Warriors got about 8 offensive rebounds in a stretch we had Capela and Jones tandem in the game during the 3rd quarter.

    When D-mo knows he's gonna get regular minutes he tends to play with much more confidence. It's a big part of why he started playing so well last year, the team was forced (they didn't choose) to play him.

    His play this years reminds me of his play from the first 2 years. He doesn't seem sure of himself because he knows he's not gonna get to play. If we we're benching him in favor of an effective player I would be OK with it, but we're not.

    The team clearly plays better when D-mo is on the floor over Jones, which is saying a lot more about Jones than D-mo.

    You just have to understand why they are doing it and be a bit patient.

    I don't understand why Dmo fans come out at this time.

    The team is obviously about to be blown up, Dmo's future is uncertain.

    I would just be silent and wait for news. Nothing great is going to change till then.

    This team sucks balls and is worse than inconsistent.

    The time when we thought one coach hiring or one trade of role players is going to change that is officially OVER!

    Jones tried to post up on a triple team and got stuffed. Stayed in the game. Summarizes our season

    My 2 cents are when the team is playing well, at least the starting lineup he would have gotten more minutes to complete the 2nd unit.

    Now they are probably going to go to veterans and other scrub players.

    Seriously he is a big part of coming back and taking the lead in the 2nd quarter and gets zero run in the 2nd half.

    **** YOU JBB - YOU ****ING IDIOTIC MORON....you will be tossed out and fired too - the sooner the better.

    I'm not complaining. I get to watch just 6 minutes of this **** instead of 48 minutes of this ****. Watching less **** is better than watching more ****.
