    I think he can be everything we hoped/wished Scola was--and that is not to snide on Scola, one of my favorite players--but he brings the post moves AND length which Scola was lacking in. He also has a potentially deadly 3-pointer (he falls in love with it sometimes too much) but is incredibly craft and fast. His height alone makes him a defensive pressence down low, and that should help alter shots in general. I think his potential is sky high though...I think Pau + Dirk outside/3-point shooting ability is possible.

    to bold? meh. Naaaaaaaaw!!!!!!!

    Not bold enough.

    there's absolutely no doubt he'll be a better player than Pau and Dirk combined.

    I'll be shocked if he doesn't average 44 and 14 en route to the championship.

    D-Mo will have 18 points, 9 rebounds, and Rockets will win by 6 points.

    He rebounded well in the last game. If he can do that again along with respectable defense,it will be another step forward for us.
    Go D-Mo Go!

    i think D-Mo is a star waiting to blossom....he's 7 foot with the skill set of a guard...needs to improve his free throw shooting and he can turn into a primary offensive option...

    I don't think McHale had any clue what was going to happen in reference to a trade as these were his words a day before the trading deadline.

    “We’re not doing anything,” McHale said. “I’d be shocked if we do anything.”

    Damn. Really wish I could watch the game on my tv. Screw you CSN!

    It'll be a few seasons before they come to an agreement.

    Oh finally he got it, and we got a power forward. Hope he improves his skill as the roll man as well

    Bro, I feel for you. It's absolutely disgraceful. I feel criminal for supporting the rockets in any way. It's just so fundamentally wrong what's happening. Just 20 something games left

    Morey once said if you look at our roster you will notice where they think other teams are undervaluing players.

    I wonder if they think white players are undervalued because of negative stereotypes.

    Gonna wear my DMo jersey for this one :D, i was worried about it's relevancy over trade week (knowing Morey and DMo's trade potential) but this has turned out so much better than expected.

    DMo's spot to lose?

    Exactly, I tried not to follow them too. I ignored them the first 10 games...maybe 15. Then started to looks up stats....and highlights. To eventually watching them on firstrowsports....which blows.

    I know this team is looking Whiter and whiter, but it doesn't mean our Organization is racist you idiots.
