Why doesn't Terrence Jones get playing time like other rookies?

This is it. I heard quad injury his thumb and his wrist. If thats the case he has been practicing his ass off because he sure the hell didnt hurt it in the game. I think he didnt want T-jones in the draft and thats why as long as he is coach Jones doesnt have a chance. Thank god he finally gave D-mo a chance. He looks like the real deal.

 

exactly right.
i saw him on the bench with a brace on his left arm/wrist.

 

there are some serious drama queens here.

 

I also think TJones has upside and should be given some playing time.

 

ur so right .. signed chandler parson, omer asik, jeremy lin, patrick beverly

 

remember when everyone was complaining about twill not getting playing time ... and then he did ..... then there was the free morris and then he was..... i wonder if they will have someone write their hall of fame speech for them or if they will do it themselves

 

that doesnt mean he wasnt hurt ..

 

TJones was the 4th PF on the roster, we just barely traded the two that were obligatory starters/back up (Patterson and Morris) and then DMo gets PT before TJones. Now TJones is injured, so what is your question?

 

We have so many good players now it's amazing. What a luxury to have Terrence Jones and Ohlbrect at the end of the bench.

 

I was under the impression it was a coaches decision.. but finding out he was injured changes things completely.

Chill out guys, McHale isn't actually a bad coach. TJ is injured but with Robinson's inconsistent performances thus far he should be given a go (if he isn't then there may be cause for concern), this is currently a non-issue

 

At the game Sunday I noticed in pre-game warm ups that he had a cast or splint of some sort going all the way up over his thumb on his left hand. He was standing there shooting 1-handed right hand 3-pointers during warm ups too (He's left handed). Didn't see him use his left hand even for lay up drills.

 

I hope im wrong but I thought during the draft that Robinson was way over rated. I hope he gets it together becauseve if he ends up doing what a top five pick is suppose to do then we did steal him. If Jones is really hurt then I stand corrected but he still couldve had a chance to do something a little sooner.

 

why no highlights of Tjones passing?

 

rockets are benching him to be next year's marcus morris. only alot better.

 

because jones is using the most of whatever minutes he gets to score and rebound as much as possible. **** passing when you only average 1 minute a game.

 

DAMN STRAIGHT

 

I heard hes hurt and that kinda doesn't helps his chances

 

^^^ this and/or maybe its because there is only 5 spots available at a time, and there are 8-9 players in the rotation who are playing better than him and he will have to wait his turn! just a wild guess, but T Rob being a top 5 pick this past draft WILL probably at least get a shot at pt over T Jones. It only makes sense.

 

McHale had nothing to do with these guys panning out. Don't forget he didn't give Lin a chance, and Lin turned into Linsanity... Coaches should be fired for not recognizing/playing that type of talent.

Omer has been on Morey's radar "for years" if you heard his interview.

And Beverly was a Morey signing, McHale nothing to do with it.

As for Parsons, he just had to beat the other rookies (Morris) to get his job.
I'm not saying it was easy, but McHale probably didn't have much to do with it.

 

I agree with you 100% As long as Kevin McHale is the coach of this team we will never win a championship. The guy is clueless when it comes to coaching. I mean 2K makes better substitutions than McHale
