    It's fine to criticize a player and voice your opinion but you're taking it to a whole new level.

    It's like you wait around for TJones to play a bad game and then bombard the boards with what you call "the truth" when in reality they're nothing more than "I was right" posts that boast your ego.

    We get it. You have a god given gift of evaluating talent and who the Rockets should trade for/sign/draft and everyone on the board should listen to you. :rolleyes:

    You haven't been paying attention. This discussion goes back to the beginning of last year. I have not posted after every poor Jones performance. And I have posted positive comments on occasion when Jones contributed to a victory. And I have pointed out even when he had good stat lines who he was playing against and with to accumulate those numbers......on occasion. But not after every good or bad game.

    But at key moments I do go on somewhat of a rampage. Because I want my team to win and I can see that we are circling the drain. And a large part of that has to do with McHale granting Jones consistent chunks of minutes in the rotation and hurting this team. And that is exactly what is happening at this moment.


    No, I don't have a god-given gift of evaluating talent. There is no such thing. I've simply watched (and played when I was younger) a lot of basketball. I know what I see. And more often than not I'm right. You can call that bragging if you want to. That's typically what people do when they are wrong and they don't want to acknowledge the other fella is right. But not me. When I'm wrong...I say so. When I'm right I say so. :rolleyes:;):(:):grin::cool::rolleyes::confused::eek::grin:;)

    I put Ezili only because Jones can actually stay with him and thats sad.

    Do you realistically think Jones can keep Ezeli off the offensive glass?



    No way. That's like Jones vs. Robin Lopez all over again.

    I picked other.

    I'm sure there are plenty of homeless people in the Bay area.

    Terrance Jones is Terrance Jones' number one defender. It's all in his head.

    I picked Draymond. I think this Jones bashing is getting a bit much. I might be the only one though as it appears I've offended someone already in another thread (not OP).

    The Jones bashing is basically a one man show. He sucked in Game 1 but most objective and good posters here have acknowledged that overall he's been an important piece to this team when they're playing well. We are not in the WCF without TJones, period.

    What have you seen that makes you think he can check Draymond and water down Draymond's efficiency and deny Draymond's usage?

    He did this same **** last series.

    Who is playing with the least energy?

    *Hope the board votes "T._ones!*

    Gonna need good Terrence Jones to come out tomorrow, but man the way he gets blocked at the rim is just saddening.

    But basketballholic keeps denying it happened Zergling. He was watching a totally different 3rd quarter in game 6 from the rest of us.

    He couldn't defend anyone last night but neither could the rest of them team. So why are we just targeting Jones.

    Who was guarding Livingston in the 2nd quarter. This is when the game was lost, dude had 16 freaking points.
