    I see no reason why he would play tonight. Last night Rockets were With Capela, Jones and Montrezl. They needed DMo much more than tonight. No practices since yesterday, still DMo had just that one limited practice. Nothing changed. He will be even more hyped for home game, and they want to limit his excitement. No way he plays tonight

    I would rather he get a few practices in anyway.

    There's not THAT many opportunities to practice in the middle of the season which is why JBB said that they'd use games to get DMo up to speed.

    If we have +20 in 4th, then DMo should play

    THIS season we won't be seeing that happen. I'm on the edge of my seat when we have a 12 point lead.

    Well not at least until DMo is back fully healthy and starting.

    Damn, Didn't expect that. To be honest he was suppose to back long ago. I don't feel like we are rushing him at all.

    Dmo's been hyping his return, knowingly or not, so I hope he doesn't suck tonight :grin:

    It's bound to take him time to get back into the flow of the game. I hope people don't get their hopes up that he is going to step in and suddenly take over the game or not make mistakes. I hope he plays at an all-star level but I'm tempering my expectations.

    After a week? Knowing this place it'll happen the first time he misses a shot of any kind.
