    Bingo. The kid is a freaking rookie who just got traded mid season for christs sakes. Anyone can tell he's a bit lost out there like all of us would be if we were placed in his position. Yes he needs to work on his jumper and learn the plays, but he has a natural nose for the ball that no one can teach and he can play some very good defense. Give the kid a break and quit being so short sighted. LOL

    So far I am pretty disappointed with Trob, his man scores on him every time down the floor. From the bucks forward, to the orlando forward, to old man brand at Mavs, and to GS killing him....

    I am surprised how small he is!!!

    greg Smith looks taller and wider....with better hands...

    T Jones looked bigger too when he played against the lakers....

    Guy doesn't play good enough man to man d

    Nor does he rebound much....I thought he was suppose to be an excellent rebounder...:confused:

    Still he's a rookie, and by all accounts a hard worker maybe in a few years time, he'll be better

    I'm hoping TJones will get healthy and grab those minutes. TRob needs some seasoning in the DLeague. His offensive game is non existent.

    Robinson had played better and better each game with the rockets until last night. Just a few days ago he made big plays that kept us in the game against the Mavs.

    Robinson brought a little bit of defense to the bench and some energy. But not enough to make an impact. Sure he needs development time, but I think he'll do ok being thrown into the fire of backup PF. He has no choice but to get better, in a month it think it will be fair to judge where he's at. I'd like to see where TJones' NBA game is at now though, kinda bummed he's been riding the bench.

    I really don't think its fair to compare those two just yet given the fact that the Rockets have been developing and focusing on DMo and TRob just got here. Not saying one is better than the other, but DMo definitely has the advantage here.

    If Lebron was on the team and had an off night, McHale would be slammed for keeping him in... it never fails.

    I agree, he's not going to be consistent just yet. Nobody on this board has patience.

    Three rebounds in 9 minutes is better than 4 rebounds in 29 minutes.
