There are "Lin fans" pretty much everywhere too, doesn't make their blind fandom any more tolerable. Giving Jones credit for playing a good game is one thing, but the crazy Jones fans ALWAYS go over the top every single time he's even halfway decent.....exactly like Lin fans before them. Jones had a good game last night, but I'm calling for some sanity. Jones has had good games before, let's act like we remember that.
.... what about the crazy DMo fans? So does this explain how you start these DMo vs Jones arguments where ever you go?
The DMo vs Jones discussion is natural in that they will be free agents at the end of the season and they play the same position. At one point, it was worth discussing, but now all but the craziest of Jones fan realizes that there's no contest. As to crazy DMo fans, sure, I've seen some of them, but it's a bit more acceptable because they have more firm ground to stand on. It's very similar to how Lin fans would say "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE HARDEN FANS?!?!?!" Anyway, I know this discussion is going nowhere so I'll just say again that I can't wait for the end of the season so that this nonsense will be over and Jones' fans can go to the dish and form a "T Jones as a _________" thread and things in here will move on.
Bobby is delusional (again) Nobody cares about Jones enough to start a dish thread about him. If/when he goes, no doubt there will be an appreciation thread, but we have one of those for pretty much every player don't we? Bobby is just sour because Jones looks (and plays) like an NBA rotation player, and despite his years of griping about it, despite his years of picking at the finest of hairs, despite his ridiculous criticisms, Jones can play in the NBA. I'm yet to see anyone who would qualify as a JOF... certainly there are some who like his skillset, and so cheer him on, others of us are thrilled when he succeeds because he is a Rocket. It is rather pissweak that you are happy when he plays badly, wearing your pathetic KMart sneer no doubt as you cheer for him to fail simply because he started over DMo. PA-THE-TIC. You are the one who is more like a LOF with your DOF crap.
Oh, and just for the record, I like both Jones and Motiejunas (while they wear Rocket red), I hope we get elite production from one or either of them on the cheap, for a long time. Neither one is untradeable, especially given their impending free agency - if we can get a better return, then so be it.
What do you honestly think you're doing playing the screenshot game AFTER the full video was presented? Kinda dumb, no? To do screen grabs after the video is presented? I can look at an infinitely small capture of time for an infinite amount of time. I can take a screenshot 0:00:00:0000001 sooner that shows TJ still landing and Beverley scooping up the ball.
LOL exactly this^^^ dude is on every Rockets forum arguing with anyone that's says anything remotely positive about Jones. Then he tries his best to pin them as Jones only fans or Lin only fans. I haven't seen anyone on either site parading Jones like he does Dmo. He's posting Dmo tweets all over the place. Lol you don't see anybody posting tweets of Jones like that. But he's on here talking about people over hyping Jones. Come on man lol keep it real. He's only here to pump up Dmo. And If he's traded, he will follow him to wherever he goes. The same way LOF disappeared from the GARM, Bobbythegreat will too.
Arguing with people who are flat out wrong. Most of them have conceded by now, because it's pretty obvious they were wrong, but there are a few holdouts that can't let go of their delusions. If you are right and Jones fans aren't the same as Lin fans, I hope that the delusions of Jones' grandeur end with him going elsewhere. That's really all I want. I have no issue with giving the guy props when he deserves them, hell I'm the first to do so when he does something praiseworthy, I just don't lose my mind like some here.
But you loses your mind when it comes to Dmo. Why is that Bobby? And again I don't ever see people getting that hyped up for Jones. They do see the potential in him just like you see the potential in Dmo. Final thing, it's all opinion, so treat them as such.
At least I admit I do not particularly like Euros yet still try to be as objective as I am able to. 7ft are harder to find but not as hard to find as you might think. They got a lot of them in Europe but over in the league there are more 7fter like Cole Aldrich in the beginning, a stiff. That is the sole reason. I like young players and Terrence has been a good guy but yes I admit he might not be the player the Rockets deserve in the long run. DMo IMHO is just a role player better suited in 'this lineup'. If we blow this lineup up then he might also be a goner. Yes, Dmo has been better with defensive rotations but he aint a "go to scorer" when he averages less points than Jones. DMO is not a lockdown defender, he showed in games, he cannot cover for James Harden over entire seasons once Howard is injured or GONE. That is probably it for now. BBallholic, just ignore you for now, you are being too overdramatic when it comes down to this.
Okay. I get making a deal that brings back useful players or a player. Seems the Jones mob crew just simply wants to dump him at any cost or want some sort of pick for him. I will say that I think he's as likely as anyone to get dealt, but just because he's going to be a free agent doesn't guarantee anything...especially if Morey values his real time on court value higher than what he's getting back.
Terrence Jones is the last remain of the trio White, Lamb and Jones. So if he is going out, just treat him with respect.
What would Hollic and Bobby do if Morey trades DMo here in the next few weeks and they resign Jones this summer to a four year deal?? My guess is they'd have some excuse about how it's just a ploy to pump up his value cause nobody else wanted him so they had to create a false market. Anyone else have an idea what those two would do if that happened?
It would be lolcentral. Would only happen if Jones plays at a high level the rest of the way AND in the playoffs. If he goes 40%+ from downtown on the season it will be hard to argue he isn't a solid pickup anywhere.
Not really. YOLO and I were arguing whether or not Jones was peacocking out of bounds while the ball was still in play. The screenshot proves he was.
Okay, several things here. 1. I don't "lose my mind" when it comes to DMo, but I understand why you'd think that given that you don't seem to understand that he's a good player. 2. Saying that someone sees potential in Jones like I see in DMo means you are overrating Jones. They aren't equal in potential. Lin fans saw potential in Lin just like real fans saw in Harden....because they were delusional. This is really no different. 3. As to it being "all opinion", sure on some level it is but not every opinion is valid so you don't have to treat all opinions the same. Someone that has the opinion that battery acid tastes good or that Terrence Jones is equal in potential with DMo shouldn't be taken as seriously as someone who says that Lebron James is the best player in the NBA. There are legitimate opinions then there is ridiculousness. If they traded DMo and signed Jones long term I'd be about as confused as if they traded Harden and signed Brewer to an even longer contract. It wouldn't make sense at all. That said, if it happens, it happens. I've been a fan of the Rockets through garbage seasons many times in the past, a mistake like that wouldn't change anything. That said, I highly doubt Daryl Morey does any of that unless he's taken up a narcotics habit recently.
Argument? Not really. You might need to have a valid point for that to be true. You can't possibly be that blind and not see tjones was already out of bounds after the block when he landed. Again your post proved absolutely nothing and was yeah kind of dumb like cdrive mentioned.
Bobbythegreat will more likely become a member of the teams forums. Holic will start a thread about the Rockets making a mistake in trading Dmo. Every time Dmo has a good game, he will bump that thread. Both of them will continue to bash Jones if he's still here.
I don't really blame Jones fans for going crazy due to him finally having a good game after so long, but it is really predictable and annoying. All of this was due to one good game SMH. I can't even imagine how bad you guys would be if he ever actually became a good player to where a random good game wasn't worth popping champagne in celebration. Pretend like he's had a good game before people.
