stfu and wait till after the game if the spurs lose. dont need to be dissing people when the game is still on. put ur concerns in the game thread. thank you!
I dont know what else to say.this guy has tremendous potential. What is going on?this is unacceptable. Pop needs to sit him down for a month to send him a message

I hope he's hurting. If this is him healthy, Holt will never sign off on another big trade again.
I'm pretty sure I could have snaked my way in for a couple more baskets.
One drive to the basket the entire game... The rest was spot up threes or long range jumpers...
It's Pop's fault though to think he could change RJ's game...
So if the Spurs won it would have negated his sorry ass performance and his sorry ass season to date?
Or were you being sarcastic?
Manu did incredible (in the 4th) and still couldn't draw a tackling foul on the last play. Just who cares. This team isn't set up for him to be more than a 10-12 point scorer on average, people who expected differently at first should adjust their expectations.
For the millionth time..he's the SAME player he has been the last 2 years..this one is ENTIRELY on the Spurs front office for thinking he'll go back to the semi-defensive stopper he was earlier in his career..
Apparently we were asking too much for even expecting him to play a lick of defense
i dont mind the thread being started if it was made after the game.
worst. trade. in. the. history. of. the. franchise.
lol its funny because its true
playing almost 10 less minutes and taking almost 5 less shots per game than his career averages. Reminds me of a guy like Finley, who isn't the most versatile, coming to the Spurs and becoming a role player... Honestly, I'd like to see more plays run for him that amount to slashing and lobs, but as it is now, with the way we've been using small forwards the past 6 years, just can't seem to work him into the offense. Often times he's set up... to catch and shoot.
Offense is not the problem for this team even when RJ is off. The problem remains trying to play defense with a wing for a PF. We continually are trying to compensate which causes the jump shooters to be wide open. If you crowd the shooter they simply attack the basket for an easy two. Even if the lone big on the floor makes a play the opposing team still gets the rebound for an easy two. I wish everyone would focus their anger on the team and not the individual because there is not one individual who could play better and turn this thing around. It remains a failed philosophy that must be pointed out at every turn until Pop finally has an epiphany.
This might be accurate. From a financial point of view, the ownership group was counting on Jefferson to help the Spurs make a deep playoff run. However, he's playing like a below-average NBA player and he's the second-highest paid player on the team. On top of that, he has another year on his contract. The team can't afford to tank.
And to think, I used to be the only RJ hater in the group. Sometimes, people need to see things with their own two eyes rather than hear it from somebody directly.
i haven't seen much of RJ before hes a spur, but what i have noticed is that he is a very rhythm/ streaky scorer. He could put up 8-10 points in a very short span of time, and if he didn't get going earlier, forget about it, everything and i do mean everything falls apart, not only his shooting but even his weak D got even weaker....and his softness become non-existence.
hes terrible. i would rather roger mason play than him. and im not even joking. the guy is complete garbage.
he has spent his whole career in the open court, and he can do that. but, thats not what we do here.
all he is, is a spot up shooter that plays no defense whatsoever, and we have a better version of that on the bench in rmj
Big upgrade over last year's Finley huh
RJ sucks...he should come off the bench where he can have more freedom and expand his offensive game and go against the opponent's bench players. However, I am not sure what we can do about his horrible defense...he's as bad as Finley.
The problem isn't RJ's scoring. I came into the season expecting him to be a 13-15ppg scorer at best. The problem is he isn't being aggressive and he does nothing else for the team when his shot isn't falling. Play SOME defense, show SOME effort, actually fight for a ing rebound. Do ANYTHING else. RJ has been a huge disappointment this year. And I consider myself to be a fairly rational fan.
