Well Beasley has outplayed him, and I suppose the thinking is that KJ's outside game is too poor to play him as a traditional wing. And of course we can't take any minutes from Brewer.
The Rockets could have used Dmo's inside game instead of other guys jacking up shots and relying on Harden. JB is the worst coach I have ever seen.
I would guess dmo just isnt healthy right now. That wouldn't be surprising of try and nd should not be to anyone
Going small without D-Mo and using someone like KJ is one thing. Playing Corey F-ing Brewer 23 F-ing minutes in small lineups at the 3/4 is beyond insane. D-Mo has not been good the past few games I'll admit. I still am a fan and hope the Rockets resign him, but at this point of THIS season, he was never going to make a difference to begin with. Moving forward, he's a 5 at least in the offense. Everyone dogs on Dekker as a bust, but we see now why Morey valued adding a guy like him this year in the draft. If he was healthy all season someone with that kind of size, and versatility, and the ability to NOT turn the ball over every other play would be very useful on this team. Not saying Dekker is the answer or anything but I am saying that our 3/4 spot this year is beyond pathetic... and yes Ariza is included in that.... he's really dropped in my opinion as a needed piece on this team. He's a complete liability on the offensive end if he's not hitting threes.
No DMo - no post game - easy to guard. Our team is dumb, our coach is dumb, our players are dumb, and we lack discipline. DMo should leave, rather than get caught up in this mess for his entire career. DD
Even if they don't post Dmo, he really does well keeping the ball moving. How many times did Dwight mess up a simple dribble hand off tonight? The guy can't process more than one thing at a time. Screen and hand a ball off, is too much for the guy.
If you are a 7 footer who can't rebound, you might as well just plug in a guard. I see that as DMo's challenge getting minutes in today's NBA.
JBB played 10 guys but not the starting PF....and the team suffered for it. Seriously, how is he not fired yet?
Even if his stats doesn't show his impact ont the game with limited minutes have been good. Tor 15 min +7 Pec 16 min -1 Cle 10 min -2 Chi 12 min +23 OKC 19 min +4
They played the game, got a free look at his medical records, and got cold feet. DMo will get a good offer - probably would be smart of him to sign a QO deal with Houston though and prove he is completely healthy then be an UFA next year. DD
I agree with this, the offense is noticeably better when he's in there. His team defense is really helpful also. I wish they would run him and Beasley out there when Harden sits. I can only recall one time they put them out there together, and they did pretty good.
Yup I posted as much in the McDaniel starting thread . I have no prob with KJ getting minutes , but not at the expense of one of the better glue guys on our team . Our rotations and ball movement had been looking sharp wary in games lately . Dmo likely had something to do with that.
After the way this man been treated, do you honestly think Dmo will be a Rockets next season dobro? And to be honest here, Dmo has not done anything worthy to be a starter either. He was given yet another chance and unfortunately he just don't have it this season. Maybe he's still injured. I don't know but what I do know is, after this season is over with, the relationship will be over. I really hate JBB's rotations, and his changing of the lineup every time a player doesn't play good is insane. I mean he treats this job as if he's coaching an high school team. In the NBA you can't shuffle your lineup and rotation like that and expect a positive result.
