    the big question is why did we start the season with asik in the lineup when we were so dominate with T..Jones or D.Mo at the 4 in the preseason.

    Now you see the light but I think he will be inconsistent at the start

    Give up on D-Mo. His days in Houston are done. Him and Greg Smith both want out because they both want a bigger role.

    T-Jones definitely deserves more playing time.

    They were catering to Asik. He demanded to be traded if he was starting. That was their attempt at trying to keep him throughout the season.

    They are not bright for doing that. Asik isn't happy either way. Lol.

    His numbers were to going to slip either way. I think get some good bench guy who is underpaid at the backup C.

    I thought Jones would be the starter from day 1. He has improved drastically, he stomped out Rudy Gay with that D.

    Jones did one thing that the Rockets are allergic to: boxing out. Great job for his first start of the season.

    I think Howard and Jones looked better defensively together than Asik and Howard as well. Howard and Jones had a lot of blocks and rebounds down low and Jones can guard other forwards on the wings better than Asik.

    not to be a TOH or anything, but check out Sampson and McHale's reaction at 9:24 in the 3rd quarter when TJones fouled Derozan - i was amused
