    Is there a software or program that forbids Holic from using the words 'Terrence' 'Jones' and ´ones´?

    Or just abolish his rights to start threads altogether.

    or because it was just one game and they have hope that a player can bounce back to good perfomance and will like to see how it goes for a few minutes before shutting down the idea and despair.

    It depends on how they're using Draymond Green at the time. I believe that on the interior, in terms of rebounding and defending strictly on the interior, Jones can win that matchup. If he starts shooting lights out then we have to change that matchup, but I actually kind of like Jones on Green.

    Just make sure all that hate from bholic towards Jones doesn't make everyone soft on Jones. It's still the same dude who allowed Aldridge score 100 in two games, same guy who made Griffin look like playoffs MVP. There is a reason why McHale had to replace Jones in the starting lineup 4 games into 2nd round!

    I think he can guard Iggy since he's not a thread offensively

    To be fair, that's standard procedure here on the forum.

    Even the question is stupid. Jones can hold Draymond to below his regular offensive efficiency or impact. The fact that he may not have done it in the past doesn't mean he can't do it. He's only had a few tries and we've never lost to DRAYMOND lol. Same with Ezeli. Nevermind that Jones is our backup big.

    Jones is so likely to become a good defensive player with a 3pt shot, excellent rebounding and an above average handle. Defense doesn't come naturally to him. He has the infrastructure and experience now to learn.

    Even without defense though, he's a good player. He rebounds and scores well, can block some shots and can handle the ball better than most PF's. That's at least a bench player.

    You're in utter denial. You need counseling, really. Any objective person watching the game could see that Jones lit a spark in the Rockets in Game 6 comeback.

    Clearly you don't know how to interpret +/- numbers if you're going to use it to analyze one player.

    Any objective person watching the game and the entirety of these playoffs can see very plainly that any "spark" that Jones provides us every tenth game is offset by mounds and mounds and mounds of defensive possessions of dumb, lackadaisical defensive effort with non-existent rebounding and tons of offensive possessions where he does nothing but watch the ball, occasionally catch it, then stand there and expect the defense to run at him while he pump fakes from 23 feet, just running down the shot clock and driving us into an inefficient, rushed, contested shot at the end of the shot clock.

    Clearly you don't know what you're seeing when you watch a basketball game much less be able to interpret any kind of statistical data with any degree of acumen.




    You actually wanna justify Terrence's poor playoff play here with one supposed 4 point run. Talk about needing counseling. Talk about no objectivity. Get a load of this guy.


    Welcome to bash-a-poster.

    Round 2.

    The answer is no one. He can't shoot either. Capella should get all his minutes.

    So is the TJones obsessed bballholic willing acknowledge that Jones was a KEY PIECE to the Rockets playing well in Game 2. He deserved more minutes than Smith and finished with a +10

    Holic will you start a thread like this for Smith's performance last night?

    just wanted to say T jones outplayed smith clearly last night. Smith was completely useless and played horrible the whole night. another game filled with dumb decisions and horrible shot selection.

    Derrick Williams could have guarded Steph Curry on those switches. That's all I'm saying.

    Also... where is the Rubio talk. I'm sure he would have killed Curry in this series and really made him work on defense?

    Yep. I said circling the drain after game 1. Some things you know. You can see. We're now down in the p-trap, waiting for one more gully of water to wash us out to the sewer line. Of course, you probably still won't acknowledge we were circling the drain then or now.

    Terrence can defend nobody on this Warrior team. And he can't give us any offensive spacing at all. McHale is recognizing it a little bit. Only played him 19 minutes tonight. But it's still too much and still too late. We're not a championship caliber team with Terrence in the rotation. Just too weak with him in there.
