    True.

    While Jones is athletically gifted,Lamar was a freak with that combination of athleticism and size.

    A skilled player,he was also a GREAT defender at multiple positions.

    of course, that was before the Kardiashians ;)

    Naah, Odom showed how lacking in mental toughness he was, when he got destroyed by the failed Laker trade that Stern rescinded (the one involving CP3 to LAL and Gasol to HOU).

    All these LAL babies imploding at the thought of leaving the Lakers. Odom was never the same again.

    We have two or three threads on him. I guess we are noticing.

    I didn't think Jones could hack it in the NBA, but he's shattered my self-confidence with his play. I hope he keeps it up forever.

    Like i said, he doesn't have to score big to be effective. He should be averaging double-double now.
    I guess some of you still need more time to be convinced, right?

    Amazing how well Howard and Jones work together. While Howard was containing the initial attack at the rim, Jones was cleaning up the boards.

    Team should have fed Jones at times. Leonard couldn't guard Jones in the post.

    got 13 boards...probably would've had double digit scoring if he shot more or being aggressive.

    I like Jones' perimeter game, but he also needs to defend a reliable post up game too. Too many times he was matched up vs. Kawai Leonard and Danny Green and didn't capitalize on his size advantage in the post. When his 3 is on target, he is unstoppable, but when 3's are not falling he needs to have a back to the basket game.

    I'm still amazed he got that shot to go.
