    Donatas Motiejunas is such a great player. I just loved how he kept getting his shot blocked over and over again with such finesse.

    I mean ok , I was willing to have an intelligent argument with you but if you think it's beneath you to find evidence to support your claims then I'm cool with that . If dmo isn't worth argueing about then why are you responding to my post(s) defending him ? Whatever man.

    err, i was by no means defending dmo, you must have brainfreeze from your own snowcones. i said dmo is a damn fool to keep launching 3's when he sucks at it and even the idiot coach has publically said he takes too many.

    You clowns make up any and every excuse to defend D-Mo everytime he plays bad, but when Thomas Robinson would make only one or two mistakes in a game with very limited playing time, the first thing an idiot on Clutchfans would says is "trade him". Yeah we got K-Pap for T-Rob but still. You biased undercover racists trolls aren't always right when it comes to evaluating talent.

    I didn't say you were ... I said MY posts defending dmo. I know exactly what you said , restating it isn't necessary.

    Dude I don't even post that much . I definitely didn't post that about t-rob and I would definitely love to have him right now given Jones being out. I don't understand how you can read my post and come to the conclusion you did. Thanks for making this a race issue and not a basketball discussion. Like I said I can't even argue with you idiots .

    I tried to post what I posted to provide some counter-discourse because I do like dmo as a player and generally think he had played well this season . Despite this the clutchfans sentiment remains against him. Oh well , I don't even know why I respond to posts like these , perhaps it's because I hate ignorance. Now I'm just being a dick but I'm pissed about the showing tonight .

    On a serious note y'all should go back and try to objectively watch and analyse the games. Maybe something will be learned. Sometimes I find it is interesting to watch just one player and how they move, the decisions they make etc... Other times it's good just to watch the ball.

    Then you cornballs on here used to always want to start Jeremy Lin over Patrick Beverely no matter how bad he played, and no matter how many mistakes he used to make on the floor, and down played how Beverely took the starting job from Lin. I read right through certain posters in this forum. Either some of you all are extremely biased towards players, or extremely racist.

    I'm not just talking about you in particular. It's a lot of people on here that said T-Rob was not good enough to be on this team when we had him. Summer League should be enough proof that T-Rob is much better than D-Mo. Then even more idiots on Clutchfans wanted D-Mo to start over T Jones last season. Mchale gave him a thousand chances at the starting lineup and only had one or two good games when he started.

    I just don't understand how people on Clutchfans would automatically write off T-Rob as some bum a couple of season ago when the Rockets barely even played that guy, then turn around and keep saying D-Mo is a potentially good player when he plays like crap almost every single game. Chandler Parson even said awhile back that T-Rob was beasting in practice, and the Rockets still gave up on him in favor of D-Mo, but hey, at least we got a younger version of Carlos Delfino in K-Pap so eff it.

    He is too unselfish and his game does not fit on this team, he rolls and rarely gets a pass, he would be better on another team that plays a style that suits him more, and maybe we can get someone that suits us a bit more.

    he also has mucho trouble converting point-blank shots in the paint and securing rebounds. imo he would be better in another league that suits him more.

    I watched that Rockets/Thunder games, and D-Mo was getting his layups stuffed left and right. Pathetic.

    He plays very good position defense, but is not strong enough to hold his position on the block and still makes stupid reach in plays.

    He is serviceable but the Rockets need more out of that spot - if he had a 3pt shot he would be near perfect even with his lack of lower body strength.

    We really miss Tjones - his off the ball movement and ability to dribble and create a little bit is sorely missed.

    Maybe we can flip Dmo and a pick for a quality PF that can shoot the 3Ball around 38% or so.

    Maybe the Rockets should have traded D-Mo a lot earlier when we lowkey had much better power forwards on the team.

    You know something is up when Jon Leuer and Kosta Konstantine Koufos another Greek are outscoring Dmo

    9-2 is not too shabby - we have time to get the roster just right, THIS year.
