Why is TJones so bad?

Same reason as you

 

I was actually pleasantly surprised to see T Jones battling for rebounds tonight. I'm not his biggest fan, but he played hard tonight.

 

He played okay tonight, but generally is worse than he was last season.

He is a much worse finisher and rebounder this year and worse defensively as are most of the Rockets.

He should be shooting at least a couple threes a game, he's been making them and we need to take advantage.

 

I don't know seems like he played well, the last 2 games, after the team announced Dmo clear to practice. This tell a lot about a player attitude n determination. Jones seem to me the type of players once he signs a big contract he will stop playing hard.

 

Pumping up hard muscle has slowed him down, I think. He needs to work hard every night.

It was nice to see him having a good game against the Mavs. Any victory against them is always welcome.

 

Terrence Jones 17 points, 9 rebounds 1 assist in 32 minutes tonight

Jones and Dwight do BONEHEAD things during games that pi$$ is all off for sure...but if Jones in particular can produce numbers like this consistently then maybe I won't complain so much. At the same time, you always get the feeling he can do more just like Dwight...you can see Jones has another level or 2 he can reach but will he ever get there is the question...but having said that not a bad night for Jones. That's kinda his Max output until he finds a way to take it up another notch

 

Jones had a solid game tonight.

 

He has a goatee and stomps a percentage of people

 

Tjones was great tonight, needs to to what he did on a concistent basis.

 

I find the more he handles the ball the worse he looks. When he just plays his role he looks pretty solid. I think thanks to Lawson taking more of the PG duties we are going to see a better Tjones.

 

Coaching. And McHale is a PF.

 

Nice to see him put few good games, hopefully it can last, Rockets need good production from PF.

 

Short and easy answer:

Spoiler

Because he sucks.

Long and hard answer:

Spoiler

Because he sucks long and hard.

 

no need to bust out your $100 calculator and crunch in your advanced ejaculatory nba stats nerds, there's a simple answer for the op's question. he's a backup forced to play starter. once you see jones play 15-20mpg backing up dmo you'll wonder why didnt we do this sooner? hopefullyu can figure that on yourself and not resort to your advanced analytics

 

Terrence is so bad(ass) that he can have a couple of good games too

 

You should say that to everyone you meet up

 

Still think he is like prime Dwight Howard???

 

This right here doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

 

Hey's a 6'9 PF that didn't develop the postmoves to play downlow. Really, he's a SF. Better ball handling and a more consister jumper and he'd be a solid SF.
