ClutchFans Game Thread: Pelicans @ Rockets 12/28/2013

To be fair on Jeremy, since his comeback from injury he had been pretty defensive minded. He had kept all this opponents at bay; ie Holliday 2 points; Conley 11 points; and Parker 6 points

 

Well, he just shut down 3 all star pgs in a row, Parker, Conley and now Holiday. So who else he has to shut down before the bias is changed? He probably was too focused on defense lately to realize only at the 4th qtr that he needs to be clutch to win those close games, hence Mr. 4th qtr. :grin:

 

that's a bad argument to discredit the ability of Parker, Conley, and Holiday to say that Lin D was just an aberration, plus These guys are over-rated?

Parker is and MVP candidate year in Year out still in his prime. Conley is in his prime and a top ten PG. and Holiday is a solid PG that is NOT a scrub.

Lin did great on ALL three guards. There is no argument that can be made that LIn's D is flawed. IF anything Lin has proven he is a PLUS defender that creates Points differentials for his team because he scores More than his Matchup.

 

Terrance Jones is going to be SOLID NBA player. He is doing this year and the team is helping along by developing his chemsitry and his CONfidence in the game. His layups, focus, shots look so sharp now compared to just a week ago. It's night and day. I love this!

 

Those are crazy numbers for second year player who was drafted at the middle of the first round. Jones' game reminds me of a young Lamar Odom. Hope Morey does not trade him.

 

Agree , Tjones steeping up is huge for us this season

 

That is called sour grape, folks. The guy didn't look at Lin's stat for the season, especially before his recent injuries and judge Lin on one game. But he forgot Lin turned clutch and helped win the game for the Rox, whereas his Haliday did practically nothing and Haliday was an all star. LOL.

 

There should be no more talk of the weak link in PF any more with this kind of monstrous performance for a sophomore. He can only get better. If only McHale will coach TJ some of his own hall-of-fame post moves, then Jones will be unstoppable force in the paint. Just think him & another unstoppable force D12 going to battle. It will be awesome sight.

 

Yo I've always known that T.Jones is a good player. Looking forward to more games of Jones scoring 15-20 ppt.

 

LOL so after playing a monster game the last game DMO only plays 3 mins total. Man Mchale really sucks at PT management, Howard, Harden and Parsons all played 40 mins. IMHO he needs to chill and realize regular season games are more for preparation for the playoffs. He should treat it the way PJ and Spo are treating it and use it to develop guys who might end up big time contributors in the playoffs rather than overworking our core guys just to get a win.

Anyway, good job as always Tjones. Amazing pickup by Morey.

 

Good hard fought victory. I was hoping for a blow out so our starters could get some rest for this game tonight against the Thunder

 

One good quarter doesn't warrant playing time lol. Make sure you are ready when your number is called again.

 

TJones has a ~18 PER. That's superb. He seems to get 20-10 so easily sometimes. It's like you look at the box score and whoa, he's the 2nd leading scorer on the team in the game.

 

Jones has the handles of a small foward and his drives towards the basket are incredibly effective. I am very impressed by his development so far. I mean, we all knew he had the individual talents, but some (me included) doubted he could be effective playing in a team concept. Well, crow eating tastes mighty good in this case.

Jones is nearly the perfect PF starting alongside Howard and I would hope Morey would keep this tandem for a few years.

I might be wrong, but I do not think we need another superstar. Rather, Morey needs to fill up the bench with better quality players. Use the money from that 3rd superstar to get guys such as Jamal Crawford. He would be dynamite as our bench scorer. Morey will not get quality bench players paying minimum wage.

 

THIS POST DESERVES AN HONOR. A GOLD MEDAL. SOMETHING. ASAP.

Codman, you are the man.

 

Being seven foot tall, and having the post scoring ability that Dmo has, warrants playing time to continue to develop.

By the way it was almost two quarters not one.

 

Not necessarily big timer. Dude have had plenty of opportunities to solidify an rotational spot and came short each time. Only minutes he warrants is garbage time and or if our PF/C gets hurt.

 

angry Homer articles like these , makes our victory even nicer.

 

I can't wait for a bulked up version of DMO to emerge. Any possibility of DMO getting stronger?

 

Jones needs to develop a mid-range game/3-pointer. Not post up.
