Markazi also reports the following based on his interview with Doc Rivers:
“He’s good every day,” Rivers said. “He’s a pro. You can’t have enough pros and so he’s been really good. He’s been through playoffs. Guys like that, Sam [Cassell] was telling a story when we signed him at the end of the year that I told him he was going to win one game for us and I said I ‘don’t know when,’ but he was talking about the [2008 first-round] playoff game in Atlanta where he got hot and won the game for us and then he went in the locker room and said, ‘I’m done. I’ve done my job.’ That’s what a guy like Dahntay [can do]. It could be one stop, it could be one thing, so you just don’t know.”
Jones was called up from the Fort Wayne Mad Ants at the beginning of January. In the D-league he was averaging almost 15 points and 3 rebounds a game.
Since joining the team Doc Rivers said that the team chemistry has been growing everyday. The Clippers will most likely sign another veteran guard before the playoffs. They have been linked to Nate Robinson as a strong possibly.
