Your future starting PF Robert Covington....of the D-League We will check back in by the all-star break to see if he's starting for the Houston Rockets.
Wish they would send D-Mo down there so he can actually work on his game in actual games rather than practice.
Will get out to the State Farm Arena and check out some games once again. Maybe DMo will get to come back down to the RGV and work on his game instead of being left on the bench.
DMo should be really disappointed. He did everything coaches told him throughout offseason - he bulked up, get stronger on D, better rebounder and even better on offense. That must be heartbreaking to sit on the bench and then get up at the end of the game to play scrub minutes (or how the hell they call it). Compare him to last season. There is no energy on the bench, he's not cheering as much and not happy at all. How the hell he can put good stats even he gets a chance with that mood?
I listened to Bill Worrell's interview this morning on 790 and he said that he was talking to McHale on the bus two days ago and he said that they need to get both D-Mo and Jones worked into the rotation here in the coming weeks because they are going to need their depth later on in the season. He noted their hard work in practice and growth in the preseason, and said they needed to keep playing to stay sharp and ready. So basically McHale knows he's going to need to rely on both guys at points in the season. If McHale is communicating this to Bill, I'm sure he and the other coaches are telling D-Mo and Jones to stay ready. If D-Mo and Jones AREN'T staying ready and sulking it will end up costing them in the long-run. It might only be a small opening, but they are going to get a shot here in the coming weeks. They need to make the most of it when it comes their way.
