No, he's not. Part of it his fault, part of it is Pop's fault, part of it is a matter of making adjustments.
It's early on in the season.
But do you really want to discuss the Hornets ?
"The best acquisition in the off-season" is just not helping his team like he's supposed to.

I just checked out Jefferson's usage %, and it's pretty funny..if we're only counting the games with Tony and Tim, RJ's usage % is actually comparable to Matt Bonner's, and significantly lower than Mason's..kind of ridiculous..
It's Pop's job to get Jefferson involved in the Offense. He needs to start designing and running plays for the guy. He isn't using him for his skills at all. We can't keep running the same old two ball play with Tim and Tony all game and expect to pull out wins against elite teams.
We have no problem getting Bonner and McDyess involved with picks, now we just need to get Jefferson into our Offense. Imagine how versatile and complex our Offense could be if we actually use Jefferson the right way?
Wow thats really bad technically couldn't you say he is less then the 4th option.
Just give the ball to Blair
Reading some of this is actually disgusting. I hope its just frustration speaking.
If I get what you're saying, that does sound ridiculous, but could you please clarify what usage percentage means (not to be stupid but I am not sure if I understand it). I am taking a guess. but I am not sure.
Usage percentage is an estimate of the percentage of team plays used by a player while he was on the floor...
Our leader is Tony Parker at 28%..he was also our leader last year at about 32%, which was the highest of the Duncan era, understandable since he had to carry the team for a long time with the injuries..
The Hornets are playing poorly right now.
Wait! What's that? Oh, nevermind. Jefferson still sucks.
Jefferson is playing like he wants Pop to send him to Austin to be a bench warmer in the D-League. He is and has been a major league dissapointment. And Dice isn't doing much either. And why the did we sign T-Rat?
Sitting there tonight, we along with others were scratching our collective heads at some of the decisions being made by both Pop and the players. We have a of a long way to go before we can be considered anything other than a 2nd tier team. We had 4 days off to practice, build some chemistry and get ready for the Celtics. But, instead we looked tonight like we were a group of middle schoolers who met each other for the first time.
At least we saw some heart from a couple players....Duncan and Blair. Also Manu, but for some reason Pop doesn't think he should be playing in crunch time. Looking down at the huddle during timeouts I saw a team with blank stares. Time to forget about Pop's secret winning practice in the afternoon and go back to morning practices so our little girlieboyz can take their afternoon nappies! Sheeeeeesh Spurs, light a fire up your asses!!!
Dude did you see that one dunk at the staerrt of the game?
thanks.
that was helpful.
and it does sound ridiculous.
A forum full of people new to December spurs basketball apparently.
Pop should try running plays to get RJ off early. Same with Dice.
Jefferson is a .. Damn bas is paid 14 million only to have 4 in points...

LOL...we should all be so lucky. He is becoming a joke.
Get over yourself. I guess only real fans don't panic or care if the spurs win in dec. Huh?
Anyway, rj sucked balls tonight and has sucked balls all but like 2 games this season. He needs to figure it out.
And I don't buy blaming pop for not running plays for him. Bc pop does run plays for him. He comes off those curl screens. And sometimes gets to post up. Rj just settles for jumpshots. Its no wonder pop gives up and stops running plays. So pop does run plays for him...those are PLAYS though. Too bad rj is only used to iso at the top of the key and everyone else watch. Or cheat out on defense and get a fast break layup. And those aren't your prototypical drawn up plays. Maybe he's another kenyon martin in that jason kidd made him look a lot better than he is.
He played good D tonight. We need 12 to 17 points every game from him. He'll come around. He's better than what he has shown. Long season guys. 16 games is only a fifth of the season.
I've said this a couple of times in different threads, but I'm starting to question my memory. Who was the last new player we've had that immediately fit into the Spurs system? I know that doesn't give RJ a pass, but we are talking about the 16th game right?
Boy, their are a bunch of blind ignorant s in this forum. RJ has NEVER been an impact player, and he will NEVER be an impact player. He was useless in New Jersey, his solid year in Miluakee was due to low team expectation and the injury to Michael Redd. You are seeing exactly what your going top get from RJ. He hasn't been improving from game to game, he's regressing. He's so lost, he needs a ing compass. Half the people in this forum want to blame everybody from TP to Pop for Jefferson's shortcomings. If you want to blame anyone, blame management for bringing him in. I knew the spurs made a terrible trade for RJ, but I bit my upper lip and watched all the praise come in. Now, all of a sudden, everybody seems to be jumping off the RJ bandwagon. Why now? Why all of a sudden? Nothing but a bunch of god damn flip floppers.
Blair seems to be doing a pretty good job of it now...
4 pts is more than just not fitting in.
