Could Motiejunas and Jones both move out of the rotation?

No, that's not what that means. It is simply one of the things it could mean. After all, Minny picked up Williams' option. But they have no plans to develop him. They're gonna trade him. They simply haven't found the deal that they are willing to pull the trigger on yet.

 

Morris shot a blistering 36-38% for a stretch in Houston.

 

Well he's shot 28% since the trade. He was always streaky.

 

what about Markieff? He was always comfortable down in Arizona.
He is about 6'10, bigger and a more traditional PF with a 3 point shot.

 

For his career he's a 34% 3 point shooter, remarkably similar to his twin. He didn't play the first game because he's suspended for throwing an elbow in the preseason.

 

Welp,

Both Dwight and Omer in foul trouble, playing against Dirk, every opportunity to see DMo or TJones or even Greg Smith. I'm sure probably at least one of them was inactive. But not all of them were inactive tonight.

And McHale goes with Casspi playing the 5 and then comes back with Asik. No sign of DMo, Jones, or Smith.

This speaks volumes for how McHale feels about those boys ability to be effective even in an emergency. We even seen Brewer out there in the first half taking hacks at Dirk. But no DMo, Jones, or Smith. Will they even get some scraps tonight?

 

McHale is an idiot. The defense would still be on par with either of those guys in the game. Why are they not playing. This is absolutely ridiculous. We have the only two second year players who haven't had much playing time. You mean to tell me that the Rockets picked the worst two???? B******t!!!!!

 

At one point Mchale has to go to a 11 man rotation.

Guys got beaten up pretty bad and foul out easily

 

If nothing else he could throw them out there to pick up those fouls instead of Asik and Howard getting in foul trouble.
McHale does not know how to coach.

 

SCRAPS!!

 

Well at least they made a game of it.

 

It's the second game of the season. And dmo is playing.

And really? We have the only two second year players who are at the end of a bench?

 

can we please trade DMO?

 

that is exactly the point but the opposite direction.

They should play more because when they come in, make sure their shooting touch is not ICE COLD.

 

Like I said...at least they made a game of it.

 

How stupid, you don't play a PF all game long then you play 3 at once? SMH. I know that there are going to be some idiots here who blame that on the players, but they were set up to fail tonight.

 

Great team play with Jones and Dmo out there showcasing! McHale is an idiot for not playing them earlier!!

 

Yeah because we clearly needed them tonight

 

Blaming McHale now??

Yeah, he don't know anything either. Some of those 1 greenies here know more than he does.

Gimme a break, guys. These dudes are out of the rotation. Right now, they're not even as high as 10 in the rotation.
