Donatas Motiejunas cleared to return to Rockets practice

Seeing D-Mo's beautiful post moves back in action will be a sight for sore eyes.

 

The grotesquely overrated great caucasiam hope is returning. Yaaaaaaaay

 

Rebounding IS apart of defense, it completes the defensive stand on that end to stop them from scoring. Henceforth a defensive board, offensive board and total boards.

 

There was no second best player on the team. Different players stepped up night after night. No one was consistent outside of James Harden.

 

DMo has the second best offensive option for the Rockets for several months so he definitely deserves a vote. But when he went down, there's no doubt Josh Smith stepped up. Wish we could've had both of them at the same time for the end run. Still... DMo provides less "WTF" moments/36 mins

 

DMo was more consistent than Harden. You didn't watch the games.

 

Besides offense, DMo is really going to help the defensive end too. He's very good at hedging the ball handler on the pick and roll. Which means less penetration and less efficient shots for the opposing team.

 

yeah ok

 

Says the guy who signed up on March. Harden was arguably THE MVP of the last regular season. DMo was a good role player. Both were pretty consistent, but Harden at a much higher level.

 

wait what!!? James had a clear shot at getting MVP last year... I like DMO but you must be on the pipe...:grin:

 

We're talking about being consistent, not being great. Harden was great last season, he was miles better than DMo, but DMo was the most consistent Rocket. Harden was inconsistently amazing last season, DMo was consistently reliable on both ends of the floor every game. English isn't my first language, but I'm pretty sure consistent doesn't have the same meaning as good.

 

This is some revisionist bullsh!t that needs to be called out. Last year, James Harden was not only much, much, much more productive than any Houston Rocket player, but he was *also* the most consistent. Night in, night out he put the team on his back and pushed an injury riddled team to the 2 seed. When the team needed a basket, he got it. He was the lone creator on the team and he made life easier for DMo and his other team mates. Harden missed a single game and that was because of suspension. DMo, on the other hand, had 20 games in the 72 he played where he scored less than 10 points and 19 games where he grabbed less than 5 rebounds. He finished his season playing well, but don't get it twisted: Harden was the man last year and DMo was a really good role player.

 

How do I reeech these keeeeds... CONSISTENT!!!. Best is not a synonym to consistent. Go to guy is not a synonym to consistent. Lone creator is not a synonym to consistent. Harden had nights off, DMo didn't. That's consistent. And since I spectated every second of DMo on the floor in his NBA career, I am willing to fistfight anyone who thinks I'm wrong. Who thinks that only points and rebounds describe you as a player. Actually, I wouldn't fight such people, because it's waste of time, they're clueless.

 

Do you have any statistical evidence to suggest that Harden's statistical variance between each ge was the least on the Rockets last season?

 

Remember that time when Mchale benched Harden howard smith and other starters minute into the 3rd quarter, because they were playing unbelievably bad? DMo wasn't benched last season, not even once, for being bad. Only when he was tired or in foul trouble. And I'm not even sure about the tired part. Harden wasn't consistently playing at MVP level, but DMo was consistently playing at solid starter-dirty worker level.

OH, yes, it is happening, he is back.

DD

 

You are all debating with someone who has in his sig "DMO only fan". Enough said.
A troll who sees everything through "DMO" coloured glasses. He even posted that he wished the team would lose all the time until DMO comes back and "saves" us.

It's exactly like a LOF fan only there aren't many of him.

 

Thx for the vids...can't wait!
