    ive seen every single game since hes been back. dont try to tell anyone to watch games and assume. maybe you should try understanding what you're seeing if you're actually watching.

    There's no way that you can be watching the games and think that DMo has been getting post touches. He's being used very differently from last year. Last year, he was allowed iso touches in the post. This year, he's being used in the PNR and as a floor spacer.

    I don't see the big deal about his play last season. He was the same mediocre player that he is now .
    I don't even recall him ever having a double double in anything in his career.
    Stop trying to blow him up to be something that he has never been.

    Exactly. Totally under-represents Brewer's amazing contributions.

    if you're not able to see then I don't know what to tell you. i've already explained it enough in the response to your initial post.

    while I don't consider Dmo some star either, I do have to say he played fairly well last year and was a valuable contributor. huge difference to where he is now and a lot of that is due to his injury as i have stated previously.

    Reporter: JBB, you always seem to be deep in thought. Tell me something. What are you thinking right now?

    JBB: (looks up and stares for a moment) I was thinkin' I could use another helpin' of these potaters, mmm-hhmmn.

    Reporter: Oh. How about before that?

    JBB: Let's see now. Before that I was thinkin' it'd be good if I could get another three or four cans of that potted meat if you got any extry.

    Reporter: Um, why didn't you play Donatas Motiejunas last night?

    JBB: I don't reckon I know who that is, mmm-hhmmn.

    Reporter: How about "D-Mo"? Do you know him? Why didn't you play "D-Mo"?

    JBB: D-Mo ain't no account. He ain't good like Corey's good, mmm-hhmmn.

    Reporter: Holy s***, are you serious?

    JBB: You ought not to talk like that.

    In your opinion, on average, how many iso-post touches is he getting per game?

    DMo has NOT been getting post touches, he gets PNR touches, but rarely is he allowed to post up and play the back to the basket game he is great at.

    The lack of a post game has made this team one dimensional, DMO was a big reason we won last year, and to not integrate him back and continue to play the LOSE MORE OFTEN THAN NOT Iso ball - without any other style, is stupid.

    You have to mix it up, NBA teams are not going to let you beat them with ISO, they are too good, got to have a 2nd option to go to when ISO is off or not working.

    We don't ....well we do, but we don't use it..

    Thanks Morey, thanks JBB - job well done !

    I've seen him get plenty of touches during games. He is just missing his shots.
    Tell me this. In that video you just showed me, were those good post touches?

    Yes, that video had plenty of examples of him getting iso touches in the post. He hasn't been getting many of those this year, and when he has, he's usually scored.

    DMo should be getting touches in the post. He is a much better post up player then Dwight but this season has not seen the same amount of touches. He has been reduced to a space the floor big. JB does not know how to use DMo's skill set along with playing his bench.

    Beasley gets in position in post puts his hand up makes sure he gets the ball.

    Nope, not injured, JBB is just the worst coach in the history of the NBA so he benches the best PF on the team in a game that is a literally perfect matchup for him that the Rockets absolutely HAVE to win.

    JBB has hurt this team more than I thought any head coach could. Replace JBB with a competent coach and the Rockets are likely playing for the 4 seed instead of missing the playoffs entirely.

    Dmo outs his hands up when he has good post position, Bev or Ariza passes it to the other side of the court. Lol.
