How long before Terrence Jones promoted, D-mo D-moted?

To be fair Dmo gets bulldozed almost every nite by who he's guarding

 

Actually, when Motiejunas got garbage minutes he usually scored a few times and had a good game against the Clippers when he got the chance. Early in the season, Jones had trouble scoring and defending so Motiejunas earned his time as the starting PF by producing on the court when given the chance. Jones was injured around the time they traded for Robinson but even without that he probably would still have been sent to the D-league for a stint. A good D-league and Summer league showings don't always mean the player is ready for the NBA proper.

Jones seems more a role player type while Robinson and Motiejunas both have higher ceilings. Time will tell but given Motiejunas is pretty solid offensively, unless Jones shows something really unique, I can't see him supplanting anyone for additional minutes in the rotation.

 

Fair enough. You're were actually advocating changing the starting line-up so this still doesn' prove anything, but if Terrance Jones plays more than a combined 30 minutes in the last 9 games of the season I owe you a Coke.

 

no. no. no. you don't "try" someone this late in the season. You aren't going to magically help the PF position with any rookie. Smith/DMO/TROB are fine.

we aren't winning a championship this year anyways.

DMO sucks

his defense and rebounding are trash, we almost lost the game because of his terrible boxouts on Harris

 

Why not give Jones a shot? D-Mo is just horrible right now.

 

If u ask me, Delfino owns the 4 spot (lolz) until one of the bits show more consistency. He may not be starting but you know McHale will play him there most of the game if the matchups allow it.

 

haha Parsonsned.... I mean Jonesned

 

Ooh! :grin:

 

i had a feeling that Jones was going to play after the past few games, but it was still surprising that he got into the game so early.

mchale more or less stated a little while ago adding jones to the rotation wasn't going to happen. i wonder whose idea it was. quite possibly morey.

i like the idea of resting delfino.

 

Don't get high so early, D-Mo also had good first night when have given a time to play, and now just looks so poor. Don't expect him to rebound much also, and from my angle he looks more like 3, but not 4 spot.

 

The point of this season was to make Houston Rockets Basketball relevant again. Old-timers hated the Lin acquisition but he put the Rockets back on the map. A lot of people were skeptical about Harden being our franchise guy but he's burst into superstar status. Parsons is doing his thing, playing like an all-star and coagulating our core while being paid in potatoes.

If Dwight wants to stay in LA with a paper thin roster stitched together by Nash and Kobe's aging bodies that's his prerogative - We've still got our franchise player, we're still loaded with young talent and we're going to make a splash in the off-season free agency.
