LMAO , people think that other GM's are stupid. They have 3 years of tape on Jones, a few good games isn't going to increase his value. If they start playing him more and he plays well its more valuable to our team . We need Capela back and we need Montrezl to come up and step up. 3/4 of our bigs are young and inexperienced for a potential playoff run, but that doesn't matter right now.
He's never been a good rebounder. We were out rebounded by begat 20? Screw that anytime that happens you're not going to win. Hardens "inefficiency" doesn't come close to being the reason we lost. Rebounds and pathetic D from everyone on the court is the major reason we lost.
None of our PF's are good rebounders....yet we only seem to harp on DMo for it. Also....you do realize that DMo only played 22 minutes right? The largest reason the Rockets lost was an impressive 6 minute stretch where the Nuggets got bailed out with touch fouls every time down the court, shockingly the defense played softer after that.
Don't you just hate DMo? I mean dude's an *******. We had no 3 point shooters so he developed a 3 point rage. Our PG couldnt create, so DMo became a better passer. Harden can't defend, so DMo adjusted and became very good team defender to help his teammates. But what a jerk move not to be best rebounder on the team. I mean come on! Do you expect Dwight to rebound? Don't be selfish, Donatas, you must be best at everything on your rookie contract of a late first rounder! Just because they make 20 million ish, doesn't mean you have excuse to be worse than them and not to their job.
Current +- -18, but basicly it was few terible 2min stretch for starters. JB should put DMo and Harden and play P&R and P&P all time, it was so successful last season
I get that DMo is still out of game shape, but we should try to post him up more. Even if his hooks are rusty, those are still miles ahead of Dwight's or Capela's in efficiency.
His ball movement and outstanding defensive awareness are really starting to get back into shape. He needs more post attempts, particularly when Harden is on the bench. I don't understand it, I never understand it. He is an awesome player in the post, yet he only gets 1 or 2 a game. Instead we jack up a contested 3 at the end of the shot clock. It makes no sense.
DMo fixes so many "flaws" on this team. The offense looks much better when he is on the floor, and he knows where to be on defense. Plus, besides a few bogus foul calls, he did a good job on Griffen.
Its obvious he's still working back. I'm thrilled he can contribute even when he's not 100 %. He is just a smart player and knowing where to be and reading defenses is valuable for a 7 footer. He looks more athletic every game too , so that's encouraging.

You know what's ****ed up? He's shooting 100s of threes every day the last couple months yet he gets to shoot 1 a game. So like he worked on his 3 game on his own and not like team told him to? Or team told him to just for laughs? We need a real coach. Who'd have full control of this team. Our current strategy is to let players figure things on and off the court. We don't really need coaches.
