Perry Jones finally realizing his potential

[Shade8780]

I knew this guy would be good :applause: I remember hoping the Cs would pick him at #23 to pair with Sully, but instead we got Fab Melo :facepalm

In his last four games, he's put up 20+ points three times, including a 32-point game vs. the Clippers last night. KD was holding him back, now it's time to unleash the PJ3. With all these injuries for the Thunder, I expect him to be the top scorer on the team.

Him + Ibaka should be fun to watch :applause:

But I cancelled my league pass once I knew Westbrook was out 4-6 weeks.

Me too. Really, Fab Melo? :banghead:

[oarabbus]

If Perry Jones turns out to actually be good...


LOL at the James Harden trade

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Durant was holding him back.

what happened to fabulous melo btw?

They need a new coach. Pj3 and lamb are both capable players yet they never got the consistent minutes during the regular season. Come play offs okc get hit with injuries and their young guys struggle because they've had no minutes all year.

[Lebronxrings]

durant ball held him back

[Burgz V2]

Durant was holding him back.

no. that thunder offense is terrible. if he's a legit post up threat like he showed last night then gtfo and let the dude get the ball where he likes it, not like anyone else is doing it on the thunder.

if anyone Scott Brooks' anemic offensive sets are the problem.

[sammichoffate]

I ****ing called it. I knew this guy was going to be a top 5 talent from that draft. I knew this guy was going to dominate once he got some minutes. Brooks is awful at giving young players minutes, they FLEECED Houston in that Harden trade :lol

I would have loved to see SVG take over for OKC. A new coach and an owner who's more willing to go into luxury tax territory would be great for this franchise.

Which means all this could be a small blessing in disguise if everyone comes back and stays healthy to and through the playoffs. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself to keep me from drinking myself into a coma over the next month.

[sammichoffate]

:rolleyes:

sureLamb, PJ3, AND Adams for Harden? Please :no:

[Milbuck]

Lamb, PJ3, AND Adams for Harden? Please :no:
Each one of those players is individually better than Harden. Houston got bodied in that trade :oldlol:

[ImKobe]

He only had one good game...what did he do against Portland?

[andremiller07]

Damn Thunder got another top 5 PF, they got a Top 5 C in Adam's already as well so there frontline is stacked they should be able to still easily win without Westbrook and Durrant :applause:

[scm5]

Dude looks like Kid Cudi

[Shade8780]

Also, he was a top 3 Draft prospect coming out of high school and a top 10 Draft prospect in college, so he always had the potential. Just fell hard in the Draft because of injury concerns similar to Sully, and then got no play-time in the NBA. He is crazy athletic though for his size and can move like a 6'6" player at 6'11". I'd like to seem him traded to a rebuilding team (preferably the Celtics) when KD returns, because it'll most likely be back to little playing time for him. Look at this thread from his time at Baylor...

Out of the league I think, f*cking scrub.

[Shade8780]

Me too. Really, Fab Melo? :banghead:
Oh well.

We still got a f*cking steal at #21 with Sully. He'd go top 5 if that Draft was done again today.
