It was definitely strange that he came out of halftime attacking the basket, hustling, making 3s
Considering that Jefferson has had yet to perform this way so far this season according to my recollection, I feel it was worthy of its own thread.
I absolutely loved the way he played offensively. He was finally attacking the paint and abusing Turkoglu. He was getting to the line at a damn good rate, and his passing was superb. He actually looked like an very versatile offensive weapon. If RJ were to start playing as he did that third quarter, I would be a very very happy Spurs fan.
What about you?

He was awful the 1st quarter, especially defensively. Another game that Pop had to pull him out. Just unplayable. He did redeem himself in the 3rd, but we need more on a consistent basis from him, not the game right before the trade deadline.
Very strange to see, but we know the chances he does that again are like 1/10 games.
He just needs to play motivated and mad all the time and he wouldn't totally suck
pretty sure RJ had a season high in FTs tonight with 6.
I am hoping that tonight gave him some confidence on attacking the paint. One play it looked like he was going to attempt to put a hammer down on Howard.
Screw this guy. Bout time he gives himself at least a little trade value before the deadline.
Can't wait until he gets amnestied this off season.
him. He should be a franchise level player in this league but he's a swollen vagina and people get all giddy when he finally makes a move toward the rim after half a season.
Hope it causes some (other) silly ass team to decide he's their man.
A player of his salary should ALWAYS be hustling and giving 100% of his efforts. Granted, hes shown some signs as of late but his inconsistency is just horse .
RJ aggressiveness drop is dismal.
A good stat to show it is free throw attended by minute.
In the 5 years before coming, RJ average between 6.0 and 7.6 FTA per 36 minutes.
In 2009-2010, it was 4.1 FTA per 36 min.
In 2010-2011, it was 2.9 FTA per 36 min.
In 2011-2012, it is 1.5 FTA per 36 min.
Only Matt Bonner is shooting FT at a lesser rate for Spurs this year.
In 09-10, RJ averaged 3.6 shots per 36 minutes at the rim. This year, it's 0.9.
Spurs did the RJ trade to get a versatile forward. They have now in fact a player who is awfully similar to a 34 or 35 years old Michael Finley.
He looked like he did on that game we took from the Mavs on their court in the 2010 Playoffs was it?
How pitiful is it when one good quarter is worthy of its own thread?
In a way there's nothing new under the sun. We know RJ can do that. Pop doesn't, and asks him to be a spot-up 3 point shooter, which he isn't (despite still having a more than decent 3P%).
I'm pretty sure RJ isn't doing that more often not because he can't or isn't motivated to, bt because he is told not to by Pop.
Not our problem anymore....
