    Yall are right, Jones looks like a deer in head lights.Especially when he played against the Lakers.I could see the fear in his eyes when he shoved his testicles in Jodies mouth.Dude was playing good and they quit playing him.Look at the other rookies thats having success.He could've been just as ready as they where if he had consistent playing time.You can't play a rookie three minutes every five games and expect an allstar.I am happy to see more of D-Moe doe.

    I hope Parsons comes back. I don't want to see Cook starting again. I hope they start Morris at the 3 and let Donuts get some burn at the backup 4.

    I really don't understand the point in Assigning then reassigning Machado? Do the Rockets just make a point to send every rookie to the D-league at one point?

    No they don't just assign any rookie (see Chandler Parsons) but they would rather a rookie get some meaningfull playing time in the D-league instead of just riding the pine with the NBA team. Machado was brought up because of the lack of healthy players at the time. Sampson made a comment that they only had 9 players suit up for one of their practices and he could not run 5 on 5. Now there are enough healthy players and Machado is headed back to the D-league.

    I hope Donatas gets minutes at the 4 and alongside a true center (Asik preferably but Aldrich will do as well). Otherwise his development will be slowed considerably.

    Rockets should have place the same role/expectations that Patterson is currently playing.

    Thought so after TJones played horrible vs. Thunder. Very very rusty

    Now I hope we use DMo for more than just garbage time

    DMo and Jones have had injuries and/or been sick since Summer League.

    Need bodies for practice. Jones was the obvious choice to keep at the beginning of the year, but with the injury to aldrich we need a guy that can play C. I'm assuming it's as simple as that.

    this one has no sound :( hopefully it's something that will be fixed...kinda hard watching a game with no sound at all. I know it's not my speakers and I know they have commentators in the NBDL, at least they did last year.
