R.J. appreciation thread!!!

[mudyez]

:nope

[slick'81]

so glad to have him back.hes the young, athletic, shooting sf the spurs have needed since bb and elliott.Not to mention rj will be hungrier then ever and scared straight into being the defensive juggernaut and clutch performer hes capable of

[DeadlyDynasty]

I certainly appreciate rj's time with the spurs :tu

[Mel_13]

RJ- the gift that keeps on giving.

[jag]

I think he might be a homosexual. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[baseline bum]

He's got a game that only a Walton could love.

[timtonymanu]

I'm so glad we kept him. His ability to disappear in games was phenomenal. We got three more years of his greatness.

Now that he's gotten over his second-season jitters, he should fold perfectly into the system.

[Bill_Brasky]

It's the second fucking game of the season. If he plays like this in April then sure.

Gotta start somewhere. I'm appreciating him right now. Sean's right..looking like a sharpshooter at this moment.

[timtonymanu]

We saw this same thing last year. Wake me up when RJ does it in the playoffs or plays consistently all season.

[TDMVPDPOY]

still 2nd half to go b4 holding ur horses

[DPG21920]

:lol people

[spurspokesman]

[Bill_Brasky]

He's been really good. He looked really good at the beginning of last season too. Let's give him his props tonight and just take it game by game.

That's all I'm sayin...

[FkLA]

I hate Dick as much as the next guy but his stroke looks really really good tbh (no homo). You can tell hes put alot of time into it, improvement over last yr and unrecognizable compared to his first season here. He looks like the best shooter on the team out there. Even though we brought him here for his slashing it looks like he might just be able to have an impact as a shooter.

[Spurs9]

I knew he would play better this season, hell yes!!!

[z0sa]

$10 million

[urunobili]

Feliz Dia de los Inocentes! jajajajajaj

[urunobili]

in all honesty, when Dick plays this hard he earns his money...

[024]

RJ playing just well enough to keep leonard from getting heavy minutes. then he will proceed to suck in the playoffs. just jefferson's way of paying back the spurs for beating him in 2003.

[KuntryDude]

Remember he started last season the very same way. I wouldn't be too quick to jump on that ship. Just give it time.....you guys will be back to bashing him real soon. Although, I hope he proves us wrong.

[TimmehC]

I knew he would play better this season, hell yes!!!

Lies.

[urunobili]

RJ being heavily picked up on fantasy teams on 3, 2, 1...

[dunkman]

He was playing great the previous season at the start, obviously he has the talent to be good. Not sure what happened then. It's good to see him play well again. The Spurs need him to play well in the playoffs to have chances of winning it all.

[Spurtacus]

lol amnesty

[DesignatedT]

He looks different than last season though. Last season he was just shooting the ball well and mainly from the corners. Right now he looks a lot more poised, comfortable out there offensively on all spots of the court and his shot looks as pretty as ever. His defense is also by far the best it's been since he's been here these last couple games. I hope he can keep it up but we'll see. Doesn't matter if you can't do it when the bright lights are shining.

[ElNono]

He looked this good back in Nov/Dec last year... hope it lasts longer than last time

[analyzed]

The decision to amnesty him this summer will not depend on his play in the regular season but the playoffs. That's if he last until the playoffs, there is always the possibility for him to be traded, the only thing is that really hasn't been FO's style, to trade a guy who is playing well, having said that did'nt we trade Sean Ellot before, was it for Rodman, horry ? Can anyone recall?

[therealtruth]

It would have been a bad decision to amnesty him. I think playing with TJ Ford also helps his confidence. So far Parker hasn't gone into ball hogging mode but TJ offers insurance when he does.

[timvp]

After getting reminded how much of a ballstopper Caron Butler is, I'm actually thankful RJ is still here if Caron was the main alternative. As fourth or fifth options, RJ >>>>> Caron.

[timtonymanu]

I'll give it to RJ though. He looks decent so far when I thought he would mentally check out once the amnesty rumors came around. Glad he's playing through it so far.

Still, there's the risk he may eventually disappear especially when Neal comes back.

[cd98]

In the past, Jefferson had no competition at his position. This year he does. Maybe that'll help him have a strong year.

[GSH]

The first four games of last season, Jefferson had 16,18,18,28.
The last four games of last season, Jefferson had 4,0,6,0.

I'm not exactly ready to throw a party over the first two games of this season.

[DMC]

If RJ is ballin' still around deadline, he could bring a decent trade. He's a pig in a poke for the next team though.

[benefactor]

I'm happy for anything the Spurs can get out of him. It's good to see him playing well even though he knew the Spurs wanted to dump him. We'll see how it plays out.

[DesignatedT]

Him playing well will also increase the chances that he will be traded which I think the Spurs would do no matter how well he's playing.

[Slydragon]

Now that he's gotten over his second-season jitters, he should fold perfectly into the system.

He will be even better after his 3rd year jitters cant wait till next year :toast

[WeNeedLength]

Dicknesty is playin' decent... gettin' ripe for a tradin' tbh imo idk....

[Splits]

Does anyone have Finals tics 4 sale?

[DAF86]

If in this playoffs I see him staying away from the three point line (therefore fucking up our spacing) 'cause he's too scare to shoot 3s like he did in the two postseason he spent with us I'll fly to San Antonio just to shoot him in the balls.

[cdcast]

Spurs are stuck with RJ till the amnesty, no matter how well he plays.

If you were GM of some team, would you want that sack of shit? Of course not.

An RJ appreciation thread? Really? After his shitty play in the playoffs? The hell with him till he does this in the playoffs.

[Spur|n|Austin]

We saw this same thing last year. Wake me up when RJ does it in the playoffs or plays consistently all season.

:tu

[therealtruth]

I think two indicators of how well he'll keep it up are if he's second on the team in scoring and Parker is averaging around 7-8 apg. It's basically what happened at the start of last season. Yet later in the season Parker's scoring went up and his assists went down. I think Parker's finding the right balance right now. I also think TJ Ford is helping RJ since he looks to facilitate.

[pookenstein]

If only he could, or better, would preserve the energy he shows right now throughout the season and playoffs...

[ggoose25]

bump

great game again

[benefactor]

After tonight's game, RJ is shooting 58% from distance.

[ulosturedge]

We found a use for RJ! But naw his stroke looks really smooth right now. Keep spottin that man up in the corners!

[GSH]

The first 4 games of last season, R.J. posted 16, 18, 18, and 28.
Tha last 4 games of last season, R.J. posted 4,0,6, and 0.
I'm not ready to nominate him for MVP. But I'll say this in his favor: with all the negative comments, and all the talk about amnesty in the offseason, he has come out playing hard. A lot of guys wouldn't do that.

His contract is guaranteed, no matter what he does. He could have just said "screw 'em", or he could have totally lost confidence and disappeared. Give credit where it's due. Jefferson is obviously trying to step up and earn his money. I hope he can keep it up.

[ElNono]

I'll take whatever he gives us... tbh, I fully expect him to turn to Casper when it matters

[Brazil]

After tonight's game, RJ is shooting 58% from distance.

deja vu

[callo1]

RJ seems to have his long range stroke down for sure. I don't want to be skeptical, but I need to see it continue in the post season before I become a true believer. I have never doubted his ability, just his desire at times.

Props to RJ, keep it rolling.

[FkLA]

Dicks stroke :worthy:

[DMC]

Dude has been on fire so far. I'll take what we can get seeing how we were about to pay him to leave.

[benefactor]

deja vu
Thought the same thing. Hopefully it actually lasts a little longer than last year.

[Ice009]

Rj probably has more confidence is his shooting stroke than he did last season. He started off great, but probably lost some confidence along the way. Let's see if he can keep it up, if he can do it then I gotta give him props for reworking his shot. Right now he is shooting lights out.

[jgome21]

We coulda used this last season RJ......but good stuff. Keep it up.

[TXstbobcat]

Jefferson is killing Dallas from behind the 3 pt line tonight.

[lefty]

It's raining 3 balls

Hallelujah

[DMC]

RJ being early season RJ. If we could start the season in the playoffs, we would be champs.

[urunobili]

Dick's agressivenes and effectiveness never lasted this long the first two seasons. Keep hatin'

[GSH]

Slingin' elbows fighting for boards? That's something new.

It's sort of like the X-Files movie: I Want To Believe.

[Spursfan092120]

Keep this shit up, RJ.

[Budkin]

Who the hell is this guy?

[jmanu20]

RJ has been a pleasant surprise! He has started the season strongly despite the front office's very public attempts to amnesty him. He's responding the way Odom should after the Lakers put him on the trading block.

[NRHector]

Fuck RJ, ooops I forgot it was an appreciation thread :flipoff

[weebo]

Thanks Dick!
