    No way Dmo would get abused. He's already proven he plays solid D against other PFs and he's shown they've had to deal with him.

    Not compared to a DMo coming off back surgery....

    Did you think he was going to pick up exactly where he left off from last season?

    He looks pretty close on offense and his D is almost there, just a step or so late, which is fixed by playing time so the game slows down.

    When it comes to rebounding Jones is better if you don't factor in team rebounding due to boxing out (though that was bad by DMo tonight) but defensively even current DMo is better than Jones and it's not particularly close.

    Whew - Take out Dwight then, he had a much bigger back surgery.

    Good call.

    His D isn't almost there, he's slow right now.

    So is Dwight, only his condition is permanent, and Tjones is slow too, but that condition is lack of recognition in real time.

    Dmo and Capella are the future - which is now.

    Terrence Jones get abused all the time and he gets alot of minutes. Dmo's height alters a lot of shots. Rockets played well last year while Dwight Howard was out because the offense ran through Dmo. They would post up Dmo multiple times, that led to Ez buckets for Harden and 3pt shooters.

    DMo has been terrible in the 2015 season with rebounding and boxing.... This isn't about the past but about the present.

    Rebounding counts ZERO towards the score, the Rockets championship teams routinely lost the rebounding battles but won the game.

    Because there are no rebounds on made buckets.

    Dwight is better than DMo defensively even with a back injury... just stop.

    LOL.... Nope. The present is Dwight, Jones, and Capela. DMo should turn it around but the Rocket's aren't going to just give him playing time when he is getting outplayed by our front court.

    I knew he wouldnt. Apparently the DMO fans didnt. At no point in DMO's career was he ever known as the go to scorer. He has never been that consistent. No PF on the team has.
    Gotta give it to DMO though. He has an excellent hype machine.

    Christ.... I get it... DMO is your guy.... He isn't playing well enough right now to justify more playing time over our front court guys... Get over it and be patient....

    No he hasn't. You overrate DMo grossly. He has a history of getting abused like he did tonite.

    Hmmm, what was your handle before you re-registered in 2012? Are you one of those banned people?
