    Dude some players takes time to come into their own. It took Dmo some time to get his game going. That doesn't mean we were wrong with our analysis. And it also took Jones getting injured for this man to finally get some meaningful minutes.

    Honestly, it is cool, not bothered, this entire season has been an utter train wreck.

    Right who cares? but the man himself

    I swear some guys here care more about his career than DMo himself.

    DMo is visibly winded after the first 3 minutes of a game.

    I'm actually upset they didn't put Dmo in more towards the end. He was having a good game.

    He hustles and needs to catch his breath he actually plays better after he breaks wind.

    Terrence Jones at his best was a better player than Motiejunas

    Michael Beasley now is a better player than Motiejunas

    Its T-Jones has the bust factor, which has happened. And Beasley has bust factors as well.

    Motiejunas is a steadier hand with rare post game in today's NBA. It still adds up to him being an OK player. With flaws of his own. He's likable but not THAT good. Getting a 1st round pick for him was a NICE return.

    Motiejunas is still useful where he can be kept around. Though he has still yet to have a sustained period of good/great play. When Carl Landry and Scola showed game there was no doubt they were good ballers. Motiejunas is more Patrick Patterson than those guys where hes NBA average, but not exactly a big difference maker.

    Still its intriguing what Motiejunas can be able to do with his willing team play and assorted skills at his size

    If Howard were gone we'd have a lot more minutes to split up between Capela/Dmo/Beasley/Harrell.

    And we'd probably be a better team because of it.

    DMo First Fans.

    Also fans of the Rockets, but care more about DMo's success than that of the team.

    What do you call fans that care both about DMo's and Rockets' success equally? Surely not Rockets fans? Because those would care most about Rockets success?.. All these new terms are confusing, so I just want to get some clarification which terms to use and when to use them.

    That's what I think. I'm not to worried about him leaving. If him leaving means having these 4 as big men and maybe in return bring us KD I think we'd be alright

    Posting on CF is getting more and more complicated. You've got to be on a certain level of education and intelligence just to sort out all kinds of fans associated with the Houston Rockets.

    I would suggest Clutch to have an entrance exam for new members registration.

    There is no Dmoof that cares about the team. They only want to see Dmo succeed. Screw the fact that the team is losing.
    Im still waiting to see him not be mediocre.

    Good for him. Rest that back DMo and don't get injured. Only a few games left on your contract anyway.
