    I, like many others, undervalued tjones and Dmos at one point or another during their time here. And right now its looking like I was wrong, which I'm happy for. But, they better not pull a disappearing act during the playoffs.

    I can't see Tjones having any effect on the offensive end against playoff defense, and there aren't many matchups where he won't get bullied. Hope I'm wrong.

    We should be very thankful we added Josh Smith. One of them is bound to have a good series, right?

    If we get a good series from 1 it is gold.
    Jones defence has been amazing this year - it is like he figured out how big he is.
    On offence, he seems very smart and moves well, doesnt rely on being fed the ball. Can get out and finish on the break, or on the dish from another. He is MORE likely to score against playoff defence unless they are focussing on stopping him over another - which is fine since then the other can shine

    He is playing well, I love his shotblocking but he will face half courts and hard defense in the playoffs. That will cause problems for him, nevertheless he can play a productive role in the playoffs too.

    He's playing so well which is awesome.

    If he keeps this up he'll make Mchale's decision on who to start next to Dwight difficult, which is a good thing.

    Jones has been awesome since he came back, on both aspects of the game.

    I suspect he will regain his old starting PF job once Dwight comes back.

    It is a nobrainer.

    As in you have no brain if you want that.

    TJ only needs to play with more authority, a bit more confidence then I wont be surprised he becomes more like LMA. He has all the talent.

    Always great to see TJ playing so well. Really respect the mental fortitude he's displayed both while rehabbing & since returning from such a disconcerting injury [​IMG]

    And now this is happening!
    That's for being drafted before Jones in 2012 [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Jones won't get bullied because he will improve from that experience last year in the playoffs. Now DMo still needs to go through his playoff failing moments like Jones already has to ultimately improve.

    If Dragic listed Houston as one of the preferred teams and willing to sign a long term deal, i would trade Tjones and pick to the Suns in a heartbeat.

    The Rockets beat the Hawks if they had Dragic instead of Jones out there tonight.

    But imagine if they had Dragic instead of DMo?

    They slaughter the Hawks.

    Basically Clutchfans in a nutshell. Jones sucks, no , D-Mo sucks more.

    Way to support the squad boys

    Besides the free throws, Jones brought a lot of energy on the glass and defense, and played a very good game. Stop knee-jerking, dude.
