    Aren't you the guy known for overrating our players? The one that said Leonard has no chance to be better than Parsons? Take off your homer glasses for once.

    Bosh never post up. Chris Bosh is more of a facing the basket type of player.

    He may over rate the Rockets roster but I do not. D-Mo will at least be a quality starting PF in the NBA. Maybe much more, but we will have to see. I spent a year watching D-Mo's European games and it was obvious that he has all of the tools to succeed in the NBA and the drive to be the best player he possibly can be.

    People derided me over the last 4 months when I stated that D-Mo was a top 5 pick in the 2012 draft. I wonder how many of them are now over enthused with D-Mo now.

    That being said do not expect D-Mo to be that accurate shooting in the near future. But on the other hand we did not see much of his great first step blowing by players on the perimeter. And we did not see his incredible (for a seven footer) passing skills.

    I thought there was a 30 day waiting period before he could be traded. I read it in this thread:http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=223194

    Very impressive performance; he was man among boys. It will get harder in the "real" games, but he will get better.

    And that's good. At the moment, he's off the table. It needs to stay that way. A great debut by Motiejunas.

    Yes, it's just you.

    If you're lucky enough to watch the whole game, he NEVER stopped running or hustling in EITHER direction.

    That was Cris Webber talking about him! I'd say he knows a little basketball.

    hes alot stronger and bigger than i thought, felt he'd be solid shooting jumpers but he has the total package, kryptonite at the moment is his free throws, he such a good shooter til it should be corrected

    so glad hes unable to be traded, best building block of our rookies imo

    I do not work for the NBA.....that said get their summer league deal..it's 5 bucks and you can watch all the summer league games of all the teams and even review the ones that have been played.

    I threw that money down and boy was it great watching the kids last night. Bonus: they interviewed coach McHale for almost 10 minutes. Just do it !

    if D-Mo keeps showing his heart for basketball, like he did. He should be our all-star power forward for years to come. Hopefully this dream comes true!!!
