Harden and Howard did their thing in Game 2, but TJones was the X-factor (replacing DMo's x-factor label). Whether it's Jones or Smith, we need something from them every game to win.
Jones is terrible, he's Faried + terrible shot selection - great rebounding. He will never be a regular starter in the NBA.
He's been an X-factor going back to last season. When T-Jones plays well(i.e. scores 10 or more points), the Rockets are almost unbeatable.
He needs to go take Bounce pass catch practice. I swear he's dropped about 14 of them starting in Dallas.
Needs to start throwing lobs. He tried and got blocked by Jordan, but most of the time he hits Dwight in the stomach or tries some fancy behind the back thing. Overall he's got an awkward game. He'll randomly come up with big finishes at the basket and had a clutch three against Dallas, but other times looks completely helpless.
He needs to develop out of just pure athleticism. Maybe work with dmo/hakeem on the post moves. Or may be he just too dumb to learn?
