Can't believe that this hasn't been talked about on here

25M folks want to talk about how pathetic coach jones and this team is after a poor outing vs Bama, but no one reports this?

I agree that his finger didn't seem to be bothering him last Saturday, but it still helps explain his FT shooting woes.

That explains it. Was 74% at line week half go. Now 68%.

Gonna miss watching this kid play. Boy he's special.
Take it in people.

Carley McCord was court side for the Bama game and talked about this on air yesterday (After Further Review 104.5 FM).

She said blood was evident on the wrapping and that it grew as the game went on, so she thought it was still bleeding.

Excuses, excuses

This would be a non-story if we were winning. The guy came to lsu thinking a ncaa birth would just be handed to him on his way to the nba. This isn't a aau tournament, Ben.

I was specifically talking about the bama game.

FT shooting is mostly mental. Having a bleeding finger could possibly take some of your mind off your FT shooting

You don't know the first thing about his thought process. STFU.

Did you read the article? It's not talked about because its "not serious"
quote:

Jones did not indicate which finger was injured or whether it affected his shooting, but the injury is not believed to be serious.

Which means that it can't be relied on as an excuse. Jones' inability to coach is serious, however, and consequently it's being talked about.

Excuses like this wont save Jones' job. Win out or you're out JJ.

I thought Simmons was so great that he had 2 shooting hands?

Clearly you haven't played nor know anything at all about basketball, moron. Having a finger injury is very detrimental to shooting in basketball
