    I always wait for him to just drop a pass off to the trailer. But nope, never happens.


    He always does get the free throws or and-1 though.

    I'm guessing 5, since TJ is 6.

    Not sure if Josh Smith listens, but McHale is clearly giving the right directions.

    Hahaha a few?

    And none this year.

    That dude is selfish on the break.

    He has a right to be.

    I agree. He doesn't trust anyone on the break because he is one of the best.

    I do not think it is that hard to dial back on Offense.

    Do what is your day job on Defense and enjoy passing to James, Dwight, Trevor or Pat.

    Once you are in the corner free and get the ball, you can shoot it

    When there is an opportunity to slash then go to the rack, set good screens.

    Only thing that makes me nervous about his game.


    Those long euro steps are going to land on an unsuspecting foot one day and just Stephen Curry his ankle. Just waiting for it. I grimace every time he does it.

    I'm ecstatic at the shift to a defensive identity and then acquiring players that fit the vision.

    Seems like Dmo only really shoots from the corners also so maybe it's a Rockets thing where they are trying to highlight the players strengths.

    I think D-Mo coming off the bench will lead to more D-Mo post ups and more shots

    YES D-Mo fits better in the first unit because he can post up the opponents secondary best defensive player because the best will be on dwight but with the second unit it allows him to post up and shoot more

    Honestly I'd rather Smith start, maybe not right away but eventually, he's probably much better as a 3rd/4th option as opposed to the #1 guy off the bench. I'd rather DMo be a first option on the 2nd unit.

    So DMO will get Dwight's minutes and Smith's back up minutes? I do hope it comes to something like 30 minutes.
