    We're set from 2 through 5. The only thing this team needs is Tony Parker.

    At this point, PF shouldn't be a concern for this team in my opinion. Jones and Dwight fit perfectly with each other. I know they had to pacify Asik earlier on in the season to see if TT would work and it cost the Rox some games. Glad McHale finally wised up.

    TJones is proving himself well.

    i was waiting for him to have a slump. but he's been pretty damn consistent.

    He is a great role player, and benefits from playing with the talent on this team - as long as he stays within himself he is golden.

    I remember a lot of dumbasses in this thread didn't even want this Jones guy on draft night. clutchfans message boards is a forum full of hypocrites and idiots (not all, just a lot) that talk before thinking.

    I love the production, but it's still hard to cheer for a guy who stomps on defenseless homeless people. I wish he would just come out and provide an explanation.

    I see him as a more physical Lamar Odom on the offensive side....defensively dude is just as good as Dwight around the rim. *Sidenote* has anyone noticed when we give Dwight the ball with his back to the basket we only score on about 1 of those 5 possessions. We should have just payed Chandler Bang to an extension instead of bringing in this BUST we call Dwight Howard

    Don't worry, we've coached Dwight down for the beginning of the year so he can struggle. Then in midseason Hakeem can fix him up, and he can power is to the title after an extensive 80s-esque comeback montage.

    I hope other teams didn't watch the tape of this game. Warriors guarded Jones extremely well. They gave him plenty of room to shoot outside, which obviously isn't his strength.

    Our lack of a true stretch 4 will eventually doom us.

    Lin, parsons, Howard could've done more, but what it all come down to is the lack of a solid stretch 4, when Howard is having a off night we can't expect harden to carry is all game, we need a 4 that can stretch it out bit some shots make the defense react so Howard & harden can get better looks

    If u watch jones recently he never sets picks, I saw dmo set more then jones on just one play, only thing jones is good for is transition game and dunking, neither one of those are playoffs basketball.

    This team needs a kenneth faried. Jones ain't the answer.

    No, they need a stretch 4.

    Thats why Dmo has been looking a lot better (especially now that he is knocking the 3 down occasionally too....)

    Jones can't shoot and that will always be a problem.

    Howard should dominate guys like O'Neal and Lee. True jones needs to shoot better,but 4-13 vs gsw won't cut it.
