RJ is overrated. In fact, he's always been overrated.
What did you guys REALLY expect from him?
He doesn't seem to care enough on D. He has all the tools. Pop needs to find a way to get in his head.

He's a soft player with no heart. Doesn't help that he canceled his wedding prior to coming to the Spurs. We should have went after a player without any emotional baggage like Carter or S-Jax
VC and Buckets' emotions are a good thing ON the court
As soon as this is posted...RJ stuffs Okur
Not to mention the great D Jefferson has been playing all night.
Not quite ready to call him a failure. Give him some more time.
I'm not saying we give up on him. In fact I'm saying the exact opposite.
lol he had a crucial block late in tonight's game.
So much for the best acquisition of the offseason.
Rj showed me tonight that he's capable of being a good defender ,I'll give him more time.
Pop is clueless on how to motivate players.
RJ is worthless on this team with this coach. Mark my Words
Marked.
Did someone say "without baggage" in reference to Stephen Jackson? I'm confused.
He seems lost out there. How about getting him a GPS for christmas?
He's definitely not playing up to expectations. It's pretty sad we have so much talent and still can't win games...
Jefferson was 3-6 with 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 clutch block..again, what do you guys want him to do?..
He's supposed to be the #3/4 option..it looks worse when our #2 and #3 options are playing horrible basketball right now..
The organization is supposed to do their homework before they acquire somebody..you would think that they would have looked into this..it doesn't appear that they have, since this was the 1st game all season where they actually got him a few plays, and he actually produced..hopefully it continues..
I think Tony and Pop has a lot to blame for RJ's struggles. I don't buy the fact that RJ has lost a step and can no longer create for himself; look at the game early in the season when RJ was still getting touches on offense, he was attacking the basket at will and was either a layup, dunk, or a foul. Over the last few games, especially since Tony returned to the lineup, he's been getting very minimal touches on offense, 6 FGA in 35 minutes for tonight?!?!?!
i might get flamed by some of you in here for saying this, but i do believe that Tony is one of the hardest PG to play with in this league... Like some of the other elite PG in the league, they pick there spots on when to get your teammates going and when to get himself going... since it bothers me that Tony is always dribbling and looking to score for himself, than pass it out when theres no other option... this works fine when its spot up shooters in the game such as M. Bonner, R. Mason, or M. Finley... i really don't know why we traded for RJ to only turn him into a spot up shooter in which he's not.
It's actually funny, the guy only took 6 shots and made a great clutch play..
I understand comments from guys like Ringo that he's soft, because he is..but your #3/4 guy can get a pass on that..he's not here to be the main guy..there are 2 guys in front of him that are playing very poor basketball right now, and it reflects on everybody..
He's not as fast as he used to be.
He can only be called 'athletic' compared to Finley and Udoka and Mason. He's not anything more than above average in athleticism by NBA SF standards anymore, and a lot of nights he looks just plain average/mediocre athletically.
Ask Hedo. Maybe he figured it out.
He can get a pass on a few off nights.... nobody should get a pass for being soft. Not even Ian in his suit. No excuses for being soft.
That said... I don't blame anything on RJ right now
