    Not for me, he was benched last night for a quicker Beasley, but the truth is it was not DMO that was not covering up or rotating it was Howard.

    JBB is such a ****ing enabler, with Howard and Harden, where is accountability?

    The sooner he is gone the better.

    DMo should be playing more, but JBB doesn't like him apparently....so he gets to play like a rookie start play 6 minutes sit, still lose.

    Adelman wanted to play Tmac 6 minutes after his comeback from knee surgery.

    Look what happened. He demanded to be traded afterwards.

    It is not uncommon

    What?, that is not remotely the same.

    Dmo is not injured, he is just not JBB's guy, JBB likes who he likes...apparently it is low IQ players, but ok....he only has 20 or so games left in his Rockets coaching career.

    Can kicking 2016 commencing in 3, 2, 1.

    Well, you have to understand the confusion, since you started the whole discussion that TheFreak is referring to -- ie., DMo sat to go small with Beasley. It's OK, because now you agree the Beasley lineup is not Small Ball.

    Thanks for the correction. You had us all confused earlier with this analysis:

    Yes I did have lunch with D-mo and have pictures to prove it if you want to see. He is healthy he said but not receiving any playing time.

    Maybe I misremember it, but I believe last year's narrative was that DMo was a 4 whose potential was being stifled because he was forced to play the 5 so much. I'm so confused.

    You should've told him to defend & rebound better, and he'll see more pt

    maybe the rockets are pulling a Mcdaniels and are trying to tank his value to sign him on the cheap.

    The Big's on this team IMO are Howard, Capela, Smith, Beasely, DMO, Jones and Harrell. If two of those Bigs are on the court together at the same time then that is not small ball IMO.

    What we've determined, largely due to the narrative deciphering skills of Mr. Clutch, is that to maximize DMo you first need a perfect defensive anchor center who can grab the boards and doesn't clog the lane on offense or demand post touches (like Bogut); a top-notch, team-oriented SF like Kawhi; a pass-only PG like Rubio, and then we will see the true DMo with Harden.

    So, you see, all DMo's weaknesses, if they truly exist, go away when you surround him with the right players, and don't make him play out of position. It's very simple.

    SMH, trolls run amock spouting laughable hot takes and awful basketball analysis. I knew this was inevitable once it was obvious Terrence Jones was a bust. People defended him to the death and now they are upset and lashing out.

    I kind of do hope that neither is on the team next year if only to put an end to the madness.

    You do know, putting "an end to the madness" is all within your power the moment you stop defending DMo with atrocious, trolling and plain silly narratives. But instead, you think it's in your power to end by thinking the BBS should just believe your laughable analysis, and it would all be settled, then...right?

    As you can see, DaDakota already corrected his take on Beasley = Small Ball. You can, too.

    You're so cute the way you project your posting style onto others. I love it when you get so weak and transparent like that.

    And a "real" coach who will build the offense around him and give him 25 shots per game.

    Also helps if he is surrounded by crappy opponents instead of guys like Draymond Green.

    Probably true, I could always just ignore your hot takes and your awful analysis. I mean, it would be better for the overall board if you'd stop your nonsense, but that's probably too much to ask. Either you don't know enough about basketball or you are too attached to false narratives to see things rationally. I don't know which it is, but it's pretty annoying at this point.

    It's funny that it's the exact same people who embarrassed themselves with hot takes about Terrence Jones that are still doing so now. Will you ever learn your lesson?

    Bringing in Beasley for DMo is going smaller.

    This nitpicking is ridiculous - if you don't agree - great - everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

    Wait, I thought you just told TheFreak last page otherwise, that it wasn't going to Small Ball to bring in Beasley for Dmo??

    Right on cue...projecting your argument-style onto others, exactly. It's so weak for you to do that, and transparent.

    Then the follow-up with saying everyone who laughs at you is a TJones fan who only talks about TJones. No dude, we just laugh at you and your ridiculous narratives.

    Like, we didn't come up with the stupid idea that Howard and Beasley is another Rockets Small Ball lineups. You did that one all by yourself.
