    Not only that, but went to the line for 6ft and got green with two quick fouls and sent to the bench.

    ! !

    couple of hook shots won't change the outlook of a series

    it sure makes some games more watchable for sure, why not.

    If we are going down, let us go down with a pretty face!

    No but better ball movement, better defense, and potentially getting some of the other team's starters in foul trouble could help and you get all of that from playing the starting PF.

    In the end, I think the fix would be in no matter what, but it's better to watch better basketball.

    I'm thinking it has to be all an act and on purpose, no one has that many awful takes legitimately.

    We all know coachbadlee is the proud unintentional comic relief of the site. I enjoy his contribution. He also isn't that sensitive about it, which I like.

    It's just not the popular opinion. Doesn't mean it's not true.

    That's very true, it not being the popular opinion does not mean that it's not true. It not being true is what makes it not true.

    I try not to get to upset about fans cheering for their favorite player. I do state facts though.
    Terrence would get you the occasional double double plus a block or two while he was starting. I don't think Dmo has ever gotten a double double in his career. Like I said before, he's had plenty of opportunities.
    That line about him playing good team defense is just something that DMo lovers can hang on to so that they can validate him playing. All the while the team has been losing.

    You honestly can't believe that. I call BS. Jones is the absolute worst player on the roster and one of the worst players in the NBA. He does literally nothing well. I know at one point there were delusional Jones fans, but I refuse to believe that they still exist.

    I am sure Dmo got his double double when Howard was injured last year but I also do not think he is a double double machine.

    I have to look it up though and I am not happy to do so.

    He can score but his rebounding is weak.

    For our team, boxouts are what we need, even more so than empty rebounding.

    You know you've had some unusual hot takes in the past, which I have enjoyed. I like DMo, but I agree his rebounding is a big weakness.

    You mean all of last season when DMo stepped up to help hold things together and put the team in a position to get the 2 seed while your boy Jones was out for 3/4 of the season and Dwight was out for half the season? I guess you did.

    You must have also slept through this season where Jones was literally the worst power forward in the NBA.

    Honestly, is it that you just have a thing for bad players named Jones? You'd have a better case if you were arguing that Cardale Jones should play PF.

    Were you following the conversation? I was responding to him mentioning last season so I talked about last season....then I talked about this season because it's a new season.

    Now you're caught up.

    No. Last season when Jones was the starter and helped the team get where they got. Dmo was hurt. Or do you want to continue overlooking that part as usual. You have yet to mention anything about Jones being the starter on a championship contending team. What about that?
    New excuse in 1....2.....

    The problem with Terrance is he is another guy that NEEDS TO HANDLE the ball to be effective.

    He is not as bad as many people on here think, he just doesn't fit well with Harden - especially in the playoffs when half court is emphasized.

    This is another example of a player that our org did not consider their STYLE of play and whether it would fit in...it doesn't.

    The org didn't even have Harden when Jones was drafted - how should they have considered the STYLE to fit in with a player that was on the Oklahoma City Thunder at the time?
