You are just wrong. He looked adequate on defense in certain situations...2 years ago, back when the Rockets overall were adequate on defense. That is disregarding rebounding, at which he is positionally among the very worst in the league. He has since suffered a career altering back injury, been effectively declared valueless, and gone back to looking like ****. You are just wrong. There's no chance he makes a damn worth of difference over Nene or Capella. You are just wrong.
DMo made money tonight, his post game adds another dimension that this team needs. Really need his great positional defense. DD
Actually he lost about $50,000 that he would have earned had he signed the only contract tht was offered. But he didn't...because...you'll see...
You might be right, but if the team keeps struggling in the paint - how many boards did Nene have? Morey will up his offer to DMo this is what they are counting on. Right now Dmo's plan is looking promising....he might get the money he wants after all. DD
I blame YOU for bad defense. People like YOU make players go after boards, instead of boxing out, because boards is what matters, boards is what gets you paid. I'm kidding, about YOU part, dead serious about Anderson going after boards and not boxing out his man. That Deng's baseline tip in would not have happened.
What pissed me off was these 2 softies just standing there. Didn't even attempt to take a charge or anything.
Trez plays more vertical than any other big on our roster not named Capela. How he got no minutes tonight is a mystery to me seeing as how we were really losing the battle down low. Doesn't matter how tall you are but how tall you play.
That's true. Trez was away from the team for a bit for a funeral so maybe that's the reason he didn't get any run. Hopefully we see him Friday.
He wasn't really available due to missing a ton of time with a death in the family. At least that's the story.
Exactly. KJ also plays taller than he is, he's a better PF than Ryno at least. Trez may be short but he at least jumps. No way he lets Clarkson for example body him for a rebound. I hope that was the reason...although Brewer still getting minutes makes me question if the coach knows what he's doing with his rotation in the first place.
Dmo's plan is working perfectly. Moory will be on the phone tonight. Amateur Maurie got played by Dmo and his agent perfectly.
NeNe is an old man, it is not an excuse but the Rockets should have known that Hilario would be on his last NBA legs.
