    FYI currently the Rockets starting 4 is leading the team in 3pt FG% at close to 36%. The main problem at the moment is the rockets best player that guy who has the long Beard is currently shooting at 26% 3pt FG and taking almost 10 attempts a game. I agree DMO will help this team but its going to take some time and he may have some ups and downs along the way in that he hasn't played 5 on 5 basketball in almost 9 months.

    Does anyone truly believe that DMo can turn this team around? I just don't see that being likely.

    Really Harden needs to play like he did last year or we're going nowhere.

    DMo is good but it's not like he's Porzingas

    Hopefully he has a full recovery because he is going to have to basically carry the whole team, at least that's what the Rockets are making it look like... I think he'll definitely be an improvement for PF situation, however this team has more issues than one position.

    FYI the rockets go as Harden goes and you could have 15 DMOs on this team and your still going to have these same problems. The delusional people who actually think DMO is going to come back right away and save the rockets season are well just delusional. DMO will definitely help but this team needs to find its identity somehow soon in this process or they could have Hakeem the Dream come back in his prime and it still won't help them. Harden and Howard are your stars and its going to have to start with them period.

    Of course DMo will help the team. 7 footer with great post up moves who can also hit threes would literally help any team. Things will get better.

    To be fair, McHale had his guts in the way of coaching, I remember last year clutchfans screaming for post up opportunities for DMO. Now, I assume that what we see, Bicks sees that too, We got a very little threat down low in the post at the moment, so when DMO is if Bicks want to keep his job he will have no other option but to play DMO in the post.

    With that being said I don't know what's going to happen, but if we play DMO as our second scorer and he shows to be consistent I don't see why Rockets can't get out of this slump bit by bit.

    I truly believe that a big man who is increadibly good in post, can pass, shoot three's and can defend is our key answer of glue-ing this team together.

    I mean imagine finally DMO getting at least 1 on 1 post plays and doing a solid job. Man, Bicks will look like the best coach in the NBA.

    So D-MO will face doctors in Dec 1 and lets hope he'll get a green light to work with the team full strength. Really missed him playing. Those post moves and smooth baby hooks!

    It's silly. Considering that he hasn't played since March of last year, DMo will not be 100% this year, at any time.
