The heat only play one big man, so I think we can get away with playing Ariza/Papa at the 4 in this one.
Here you go D-Mo! <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p>With TJones out w/ a knee injury Dmo will start.

I am sorry to hear that Jones got hurt. Hope it's not bad. Frankly speaking, I am more interested in seeing Capela play than D-Mo, but I hope D-Mo will have a big game and surprise all of us.
[rQUOTEr]The Rockets got one starter back on Tuesday with Pat Beverley cleared to return after sitting out two games with a strained right hamstring, but lost another with forward Terrence Jones out with a bruised right leg. Jones said he felt pain during Monday’s game in Philadelphia, but does not recall an incident. “It started hurting during the game,” Jones said. “They did an exam after the game and found it.” Jones had gotten off to a strong start this season, but struggled against the 76ers, making 3 of 11 shots to score six points with four rebounds in 30 minutes. He sat out down the stretch while Donatas Motiejunas finished up the game. http://blog.chron.com/ultimaterocke...to-lineup-as-jones-lands-on-bench/#27967101=0[/rQUOTEr]
If he couldn't get on the floor against 76ers I don't see how he gets on the floor against the Heat, even with the lack of big man depth.
agree..except Dorsey is the other option. Didn't he trip and fall at one point and lose the ball in his 45 seconds of play? I'd only expect to see ACappella in garbage time...
What's with our soft PFs ... geez, Jeff Adrien is shaking his head somewhere. On the other hand, we finally get to see Capela. Give us a semblance of hope, man
I miss Adrein too, he was a far better choice to retain than Garcia. Let's hope Capela will give us some productive minutes.
It's times like this that Dmo needs to step up and show us what he can do. This is his chance. When a player gets an opportunity he has to take advantage of it. Don't let us down Dmo.
Harden scored buckets just to escape with a win. This back to back thing for the Rockets is really a sham. Memphis isn't playing tonight and they have been home for four days. Our back to backs are road games. If you and Harden stay healthy I don't GAF.
