Battle for the Starting PF spot - 2014/15 Edition

This makes no sense. Even if TJones is the same player he was last season, he is still easily the starting PF. I'm not really concerned about Jones being the starter. I think he will be better this year. I'm more concerned about our depth at the 3, 4, and 5.

 

I think they stick with Jones no matter what and just suffer through his awful defense and poor fit with the starters.

Jeff Adrien might make the roster and hang out on the end of the bench.

DMo probably is the backup 4 and 5.

Gorilla dunk won't make the roster.

 

A Turk.

 

Would have been really happy with that.

 

Jones is young and from what I have seen actually seems intelligent. The guy will improve from last year and that is great for the Rockets. He is still very young and playing the hardest position in the league so I am excited about seeing his development after getting his butt handed to him in the playoffs. He knows he was the weakest link in our starting 5 last year and he's got pride so I expect him to be showing some serious $hit this year!

 

Jones will start but Morey will make a trade by the deadline.

My money is on Bass or Horford.

 

Our Starting PF will be D-mo. He will get at least 20 mpg.

 

The best power forward on the Rockets is Jeff Adrien.

Jones is a mental case.
DMO is not an NBA player.

 

You would take Bass over Jones?

 

Jeff Adrien's entire career disagrees with you, you can't base everything on a few months on the worst team in the league that plays him to help them tank.

 

Jones. No question at all about it. He got the starting role last year and remember folks.. mchale hates DMo. I say this jokingly.. kind of

 

I have watched him since high school.

It has as much to do with Jones and DMO being hot garbage as it does with Jeff Adrien being good.

Adrien will defend, rebound, play within the system, hustle and be aware of what is going on, on the court... Something I cannot say about space cadet and Mr. Future Europe Star.

 

Ah, that explains it. Well, preseason is the time for hope.

 

Adrien isn't going to start. He will come off the bench as a spark with this mentality:

"We're here to f*** s*** up."

 

TJ deserves to start until someone takes it away from him. That's what training camp is all about.

 

Bass comes in a package with Rondo.

 

Even more of a reason to not want him.

 

Its pretty obvious Jones will get starting job, unless he really ****s up the bed, and Dmo will get backup 4 minutes, unless he really ****s up the bed. Pretty simple.

 

It will be, and it should be, Terrence Jones.
