    Jones actually was playing his best game in a while and he only got 12 minutes.

    Still doesn't change my opinion of him that he sucks and shouldn't be in an NBA rotation, but he was fine today. DMo looked a step slow.

    Need Jones to have a game like this so we can up his trade value and stop with the fake announcements of DMo's back hurting.

    I can't believe the regression of this guy.

    He showed flashes of being an All Star. Now he looks like a guy that might not even be in the League a few years from now.

    Neither can I, he looks so scared out there, he used to be great at finishing at the rim and while he was never a great rebounder, he used to be a lot better.

    Not even trolling.

    Maybe a trade helps him. Right now he sucks like Stromile.

    So much hesitation and he used to be a regular dunker now he just goes in soft.

    The injuries seem to have caused a mental block and I agree he'll be playing for pennies soon unless he wakes up.

    Fortunately he's not that old and a change of scenery could remind him of what he's capable of with his athleticism. He's not the brightest tool in the shed, but he used to work hard and play hard.

    Unlike Howard, he didn't keep his quickness or speed when he bulked up.

    Also doesn't help Houston is not playing at the pace they played at during the 2013-2014 season

    Every ClutchFan should bow to basketballholic's scouting skills. Seriously, while you all were in awe by T-Jones 2013-14 season, he knew what was up.

    Could care less about it. TJones is one of the least problems. This season is just sucking so hard.

    Man, I wish Jones finds a new home to start over.

    He did say that TJones could never be a rotation player on a team that won playoff series - so technically he was wrong.
    Jones probably gets a contract in the off-season, and so won't be 'out of the league' - so technically he will be wrong
    And Jones never got traded before the deadline, despite the yearly commentary that he would be gone by the deadline - so technically he was wrong

    The list goes on. Of course, Because I pointed out bobbythejopatmacaholic was wrong, I will get laughed at and accused of saying Jones is an all star :rolleyes:

    Also, if you just say about 100 players in the league that they are rubbish, or about 200 players in the league that they are a possible trade target, then eventually you'll be right about something. Not saying anything, but jus' saying

    Of course as I pressed submit I realized my error, these were actually the points you were making! My bad.

    So, is Mr. Clutch still a fan of TJ? Or is he off of his bandwagon?
