D. Mo vs. T. Jones BBS Cannibalism

Donuts, Jones, Dorsey, and Black aren't rim protectors. They don't intimidate opposition from going to the rack. Day and night with Howard back.

Jones is the Rockets best asset to attain that second rim protector.

 

Agreed!

To me they're a more talented version of Scola and Landry....

It's Scolandry 2.0!

 

Excellent post, but your premise is flawed.

You do have to chose. Morey always chooses. How did Scola vs Landry turn out? Brooks vs Rafer? Brooks vs Lowry? Dragic vs Lowry? Bud vs. Parsons?

Morey always trades one guy who he feels is maxed out and keeps the other one who usually ends up being the better player and contributes more. The lone exception is how Dragic vs. Lowry turned out. They're both very good and we ended up not being able to keep Dragic after our summer plans fizzed out.

Anyway, there's gonna be a trade sometime later in the year to push us from contenders to really serious contenders. I am almost certain it will be for a point guard and Jones as well as perhaps Beverley will be a part of it.

 

Suddenly it seems like the PF position can be pretty strong if Jones can come back and get into playing shape and regain his form.

Motiejunas is playing awesome and up to the potential that many people saw in him. He's really been great on both sides of the ball.

 

Forget about Scolandry.

Motiejones!

 

For the past couple of years, I thought that D-Mo always looked awkward, uncoordinated and out of place on the court. I had the feeling that he would be one of those players that was talented but was never able to figure it all out.

I am glad to admit that I was wrong and the past couple of weeks he has completely changed that perception.

Both he and Jones have different strengths, and when they are both healthy, could be a pretty formidable 'PF by committee.' Or, if Morey is still determined to find a 3rd star, either one of them could be legit assets included as part of that trade.

 

That's awesome. Too bad we didn't just sign Lowry and keep those guys as well. There isn't a better point guard that could be traded for.

 

"I like it! Hehehe."

 

There is much wisdom in your post!!!

GO ROCKETS!!!

As a fan you have every right to choose. I've never liked Jones' game and was never impressed even when he put up big numbers. Most of his points came off gimme opportunities as a direct result of playing with James Harden. And he routinely gets exposed by bigger PF's.

No defense has to game plan for Terrence Jones. I've never seen Jones receive a double team. D-Mo has been receiving double teams since that Milwaukee game.

I never felt that PF spot was a positive for us even when Jones put up big numbers. He is a really really bad defender. Getting sweet blocks is cool and all but his team defense is not even worth bringing up since you don't want anyone to talk bad about Rockets' players.

For the first time since Scola in 2010 I feel like our PF spot is worth a damn again. It's been a long time coming. And for that reason I'm really happy with D-Mo.

Now do I hate Jones? No. The team will definitely benefit a lot from him coming back healthy as soon as possible. I hope he does a great job for us off the bench until he is most likely traded.

I root for every Rockets' player. That doesn't mean I can't like some (who I think benefit the team way more) to a greater extent than I like others.

 

The reality is that only one is going to be around past their rookie deal, I think that person is DMo given that he's the more talented of the two and is the more rare commodity of the two. Also, it's a flash vs fundamental argument. Some prefer the "lob city" Clippers who got bounced in the playoffs every year to the Spurs who win the championship seemingly every other year.

 

I think and hope we have room for both guys. As much as I love what Dorsey and especially Black have brought us so far this season, the thought of the rotation of Donuts + Jones + Howard with Dorsey and Black getting spot backup minutes makes me foam at the mouth.

My only problem with Terrence Jones right now is that he can't seem to get himself back on the damn court... Such a shame. He was playing fantastic.

 

Im a fan of both jones and dmo. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. It's funny how most people were so high on jones and low dmo, now it's the complete opposite.

I believe in what's best for the team. Right now, dmo's stock is rising. If he can continue this until the trade deadline, it could net us that third star Morey has been looking for.

Of course, some delusional fans here think dmo is that star we've been looking for.

 

Your a delusional fan who thinks that Morey would trade a promising young forward for who? There is no major star on the market, rondo (can't shoot worth a lick) and that's it.

Stop posting garbage, Morey is going to upgrade the team by using the exception and picks and probably troy Daniels. He's not gonna trade DMO

 

man people forget how good t.jones is

cant we just be happy with everybody and wait till everybody gets healthy

 

Becuz teamZ Dmo.


that is all.

 

And what point guard would require Jones and Bev? Rockets aren't trading for Rondo...

 

Also, I'm sure basketballhollic is getting off in a corner thinking about how many anti-TJ followers he's getting.
