    When I watched this video, I kept noticing that his face looked odd, his eyes look off and his face looks bloated/puffy. It reminds me of how Francis/Lawson looked, am I tripping or is anybody else seeing it?

    his face definitely looks bloated, have you not mentioned it i would have ascribed it to a bad video or something
    EDIT: perhaps it is a bad video... when he was real close in front of camera in postgame interview he wasnt looking so bloated like in the arena

    Why would you put IT and then spell out “Thomas” in parentheses??? Kind of defeats the purpose of initials, no?

    The dude has to be in a state of depression. Went from budding star in the league that gave everything to Boston and potentially getting a super contract, to getting stabbed in the back and earning minimum contracts.

    Jones had some serious off the court issues that kept him from being the player he could have been. He used to have very questionable people drop him off for practice and pick him. They would try to hang around practice and Jones was finally told they had to leave. Always had a bunch of misfits that looked like club kids controlling everything he did.

    Was that his choice or was that one of those, "hey, we gave you some pocket money back in the day, so now you owe us" deals?

    Then again, he did stomp on a homeless person, so hes pretty questionable himself.

    Another Example to future players that . . . don't put team over yourself and your family

    How my cheeks look when I drink one night or break my keto with nasty carbs.

    I don't think anyone in the Toyota Center outside of Jones knows the answer to that question. Supposedly some of them just looked like what we used to call "club kids". Whatever the answer, he had issues focusing and wasn't always present at practice. He would have long periods where he was motivated and appeared to be getting it, but they were followed with periods of disinterest.

    Lulz at alluding to him being on drugs. I noticed the puffed face too. Could be anything. Alcohol the night before. Chinese food. Dairy. Different people's bodies respond differently to different foods.

    You have knowledge of this, or just speculation?

    I know the puffy face like that can be a symptom of alcoholism. I am speculating about Thomas, but if I was betting that's where I'd put my money.

    He looks like a guy who's pissed at something a drunk fan said, nothing much else. If this were Bob Sura I'd be worried
