Team was looking for TJones more than Dwight. TJones has more moves and Dwight is always tightly guarded. Coaches' adjustment was to play an inside-out game. Score in the paint and let's see if that opens up our 3pt shooting.
Bev sucks. Chandler is a roll player, I would not pay him over 7mill a year. Jones, we still have alot of time.
After this game, TJ's PER jumps a whole point to 19. I wouldn't trade him for anyone other than Lbj or Durant with his age/potential, contract, health, defense ...
Update it please. These were the stats before last night's game. His PER jumped from 18.0 and is at 19.0 now.
These monster games that Terrence is having helps us tremendously. Opposing teams have one more huge impact player to worry about when playing us. This completely changes their defensive scheme and should open up plays for he rest of the team.
According to ESPN, youngest Rocket since Olajuwon to score 30+ in a game. *Gulp* Of course, it was the Bucks, who hardly looked like they were trying in the first half. Dude looks very, very hungry. I am impress, and I am a little bit surprise. Honestly did not see this kind of ceiling. He gets away with a lot of inside shots I would expect to get blocked (especially with Sanders around), but I guess his wide body gives him enough spacing.
I just wish he was still knocking down those 3s like he used to. Then again, the entire team save for Brooks and Parsons is in a major slump. Jones has got some nice footwork and moves down low though. That pumpfake last night where he got the defender in the air and used the other side of the rim to seal off the shotblocker so he could dunk it was impressive. There are 10-year vets in this league who can't do that.
If you wouldn't trade TJones for Love, you are clinically insane, let alone the other dozens of players that you should trade TJones for. I love Jones and he is playing well. Best part about him is that he is consistently getting better and has that drive to improve. But, playing next to Dwight is a huge advantage and there are many players that are more valuable to this Rockets team.
