    I did. The whole thing.

    Jones was blocked like 5 times, but guess what? He still shot a respectable 46%. Wayyy higher then the teams 34% overall.

    He got killed by the other teams on defense, but guess what? Everybody got killed on defense, everybody.

    What a fallacy. Terrence shot 46% on shots he should shoot 70% on. That contributed to our shooting being an abysmal 34%. Not to mention he killed our spacing so Harden, Lawson, and Trevor were much more covered on the perimeter when they shot the basketball.

    Lmao really?? Jones shooting 46% contributed to the teams 34%? It wasn't the rest of the team shooting like total ****? Are you really sure of that? His spacing? He's played center half the game, in that case Capela and Harrell also killed our spacing, and Dwight when he playa, he kills our spacing as well of course.

    You guys are delusional.

    And some people here said they wouldn't trade him for Kieff. Please, I'm on the phone with Phoenix in December if he hasn't played himself out of the rotation by them. Thank god we have Harrell.

    When a team shoots 50% do you think they shoot 50% at the rim and 50% everywhere else? You seem to and you're calling other people delusional...

    I know how the %'s work. But our guards shot so awful, that Jones at 46% still had a better night, and 46% is not even a bad percentage for a PF. Only a handful of PF's who attempt over 12 shots a game average 60% or 70%, that's a insane league high percentage. Its usually low 50's.

    None of our guards shot over 33%. Harrell only put up 4 shots, the only other player who arguably had a better performace then Jones is Capela. Yet people are over circle jerking about how bad a night Jones had and how he needs to be traded.

    You can't call out his spacing because what other big on the floor provided spacing? None. You can't call out defense because everybody played **** defense, you can't call him out on offense because he was one our top offensive performers tonight. Literally not one reason to single him out over any of the other **** performancea tonight.

    Just utter BS.

    I watched most of the game and it just seemed like Everytime he was on the floor Denver made a run and he honestly feel just doesn't look like he cares all that much out there. It is more noticeable because his backup is an energy guy so he looks lazy by comparison.

    So you're saying the only reason why Denver shot over 50% was because of Jones only?

    Aleron you use to be a very logically well thought out poster. Man what happened?

    The entire defense was horrible not just Jones man. I understand you don't like Jones but come on dude you're tripping.

    We were never in the game. Every player not named Harrell had a negative +/- with Harden leading the way with a whooping -20. T. Jones was right behind him with a -18.

    He was talking about on offense bro. He was saying Jones shooting 46% wasn't impressive because bigs are supposed to shoot a higher % while guards shoot a lower %. But either way, its a bad argument because the tickets shot 34% and Jones shot 12% higher.

    bwhahaahahaah so going 2-10 or 2-12 and getting killed on the perimeter is better than 6-13 and getting killed in the paint.


    Man I've done heard it all. smh

    Indeed that's a senseless argument for sure. All That matters is we lost and everybody is to blame. We missed layups, wide open shoots and didn't play any defense. McHales's substitutions were horrible and his team came out flat and lethargic. Fared did have his way with Jones but at least Jones kept competing.

    The OP created this thread as an outroar about the GSW Western Conference Finals.

    It created 35 pages during the Summer.

    Pretty sure everyone has said their peace. Damn, dudes...really. You just really like to allow the same argument to go on and on forever.

    Have some balls, and create a new thread with a new take for 2016. As Jim Rome says, have a take...and don't suck.

    Repeating yourself in an antiquated thread is not a take. It's Brain Freeze

    Have some pride.

    I'm willing to make this an experiment in persistence. And history says, I will win.

    IDK but basically he probably would blame it all on one player.

    We should have learned from the McGrady debacle. It is not just on 1 player alone.

    There's 5 more days until the extension deadline. Complete silence for both future RFAs not even reported initial talks to see where everyone standing.
    Imo the writing is on the wall. One of the pfs is getting traded in December. Probably Jones.

    At least there will be peace in the forum and no more black cats.

    its just one game but Jones looks even worse than last year

    its sad that Capela has improved more in 1 year than TJ has 3 years. IDK if he's not working hard enough or if he just doesnt have the talent
