Glad he's back. Josh Smith better realize T Jones is something special or else. Jones can do everything Smith can do but better when he gets it going. Scary.
Missed most of the game but saw that last block T Jones had. Looks like he's physically right back where he was prior to the injury. Him and Josh Smith held down the paint tonight. Loved the defense all around in the 4th.
Anyone else notice TJones post up style? His feet are always moving and he takes little steps and out maneuvers his opponent while utilizing a really low center of gravity. This is how you post up Dwight.
TJ looked great tonight. I was expecting him to need way more time than this to get to this level. Of course he will need more time but still him coming in ready to play at the level he was against a top team was nice to see.
if jones and howard can get to 100% that 4 man rotation is pretty sick. if dragic comes over to the rockets is 9 deep. you would play in the playoffs dragic pg beverley pg harden sg ariza sf brewer sf jones pf smith pf howard C dmo C dragic would play SG with beverley at PG when Harden rests. and in my opinion you are set. if you somehow can keep terry and still get dragic i could see terry getting spot minutes in the playoffs in sticky situations where you need him to come in and calm the rockets down.
Love having him back but it was never in doubt that he would come back he had a bruised nerve, those heal - just takes time. DD
I really hope the Rockets just rest Howard as long as necessary (until a few weeks before playoffs) and just ride out DMo/TJones/Smith/Dorsey at the 4-5 spot. There's enough minutes to go around and it will give us a fresh Howard for playoffs, where he definitely turns it up big time. TJones injury may have been a blessing in disguise as he now returns with a vastly improved DMo. TJones is still a very good PF and it's huge to have him back.
He was so tired after couple of minutes in first half. Great to have him back, he's a good young player and he will improve. If no injuries he should be 100% when Play-offs starts, that's great for our team.
