So James Jones barely plays at all in the regular season and now he gets fifteen minutes off the bench in the playoffs? If he was this good all along how come Spo didn’t realize it? Alternatively, if he wasn’t that good all along, why is he good now?
I supposed it’s only fitting. Jones is well into his 30’s at this point, and his contract is up after this year. He probably won’t get another deal in the NBA. This is his last chance to make an impact, and he’s not going to do that with his ass making warm spots on the bench.
If he can just hit a few three-pointers on the way to the Heat three-peating, he will have accomplished all he needs to in life. Then, he can wrap himself in a cocoon of newspapers and masking tape, and wait patiently for the sweet caress of death.
