It's linked to his salary essentialy...
Everybody would be happy and love RJ if he was paid 5M-6M max.
The worst part being the fact that he has an untradable 4 years deal and that he won't get better aging...
Last year we were all upset with the play of RJ. The expectations were so high and he didn't even come close to delivering. Many people thought the biggest problem with Rj was his inability to hit the open 3pt shot.
Now we are here at the end of Rj's second year as a Spur and he has shot a shockingly high 44% from the 3pt line. It seems like someone who shoots 44% from three would have won the respect of Spurs fans on this board but it hasn't.
In fact at this moment there is a thread called "players you would rather have over RJ". If you look though the thread you will get some Star players(who should not be compared to Rj), shooting-guards(which also should not be compared to him), some smart ass comments (like "bag of rocks") and at last some comparable players which in many cases shoot less than 35% 3pt.
How could so many of you want players over Rj that shoot the three ball way worse than him? I thought the 3pt shot at the small-forward position was vital for this team to succeed.
Why do so many of you guys still dislike Rj?

because of what he did the first couple of months of the season, he's regressed so much from that time that now he's 1st year rj all over again
wow, even Bulls fans hate RJ...![]()
I dont like people with tiny ears.
Can they hear, do you have to sign... ? So many decisions...
and he looks like he has alopecia and he is gayish
Impression has a way of blinding people to facts.
If fans believe that RJ sucks, then they'll continue to believe that he sucks regardless of what his FG conversion%, accuracy or performance might say otherwise.
1. RJ has definitely stepped up from last year. Props for that.
2. RJ hasn't completely quashed his tendencies towards passive play on offense and lazy lapses on defense. When the Big 3 went down, he should have been the one to step up in the Portland game. Instead he curled up into fetal position and it was left to the 9-12 guys on the bench to show leadership and hustle.
Because 95% of the time he's a matte finished turd. 5% of the time he's a glossy turd. I hate turds.
RJ kind of has a bad rap because he's 4th fiddle on this team.......and how many teams have 4 fiddle players?
Question.

How many fiddle players rap to begin with?
Touche....touche.
a player that is paid like him
should give me 5-7 rebounds 10-15 points a night
and do not pass up shots be aggressive

I like him when he gives effort, but thats usualy not the case so I admit I'm not usualy on his side lol
I don't think he's 4th fiddle on this team.
He's 6th behind Big 3, Hill and Neal.
wow you don't know
I'd like him if him and Neal switched checks
i'm an RJ fan. He made a huge effort to rework his game in the offseason to fit this team. He's shooting much better from the 3 and playing much better defense.
But like Hill, he falls into lapses where he just constantly defers to the Big 3 and isn't aggressive enough to benefit the team.
It also doesn't help that he's replacing Bruce Bowen, one of the best defenders of all time. Still, I have faith in RJ that he'll come up big during the playoffs.
Well, if he wants to play in Texas... gotta have a fiddle in the band.
I caught that.
Imagine if his name was Favors.
