    I don't know why but I like this Trob guy. I hope he will do well.

    By the way, I am joining the Dmo bandwagon. :grin:

    Will 7 tip rebounds lead to 16 ppg? If not, then he needs to go to the D-League and develop

    DMO aint averaging 16 ppg either, and honestly needs more bulk before he is ready for the big time

    It can't work all the time. Even the coach has said that.

    For the moment I just want to see D-Mo get 20 minutes a game. Give T-Rob at least a few practices with the team to learn the system before you throw him into the fire.

    I don't really understand why DMo is getting pushed around so easily. He said on Twitter that he weighs 245, which is a pretty solid weight for an NBA big. Is he just not getting low enough and keeping his center of gravity too high?

    Most likely it's not a strong 245, and gets pushed around because he's not strong in his trunk and legs.

    He needs to do more squats and deadlifts

    I don't get this "needs more bulk" thing...

    Tim Duncan ain't very bulky, and he's one of the best ever.

    i actually like delfino at the 4 for now. it stretches the floor well allowing asik to go to work on the boards. also, he's been shooting pretty well from 3 lately.

    That is very Coach Pringles type of thinking. Man we gave 14 o-rebound tonight, but if shot better um Mr. Lin, we could have won by 20

    you never see timmy getting pushed around though. D mo is thin but productive on offense, a mixture of Dmo a TRob is just what we need. Kind of like the lin and beverly thing going on, hopefully Mchale can spread their minutes out well and play them when its their time or the other is struggling.

    Delfino is listed at 6'6" 230. DMo is 5-7 inches taller but only 15 more pounds heavier.

    7 to 10 rebounds? Try 7 to 10 minutes, likely only in garbage time.

    he will earn his minutes the same way greg, beverly, d-mo, and anderson is beginning to. Its only a matter of time.

    Tyson Chandler is listed at 7'1 and 240 lbs. I think that's a pretty good benchmark for a big.

    This is true, but Robinson would also have to defend.

    Rockets are 4th in defensive rebounding percentage. This doesn't appear to be a weakness at all.
