    He'll get plenty of playing time after he gets traded ;)

    Honestly, I don't know, but more firepower is always good, and insurance in case of injury. I doubt he'll be in NBA shape immediately anyway...probably will spend a lot of this season getting the conditioning back.

    Absolutely great news! Jones has been missed, no matter what the haters (a few) say.

    I feel as if this will be a blowout Rockets victory. 16 3-pointers, Harden with 35/7/8. Howard with 23/14/3 blks.

    Good question. I certainly don't want it to come at the expense of DMo who is playing great. Maybe we can give Jones a few minutes at the 3 and play Harden at point guard more often/a few less minutes for Ariza?

    The bench will be crucial, cannot afford for Josh to go ape **** and Brewer + Terry need to find their shot back.

    Glad to hear that.

    But where does he fit in? LOL?

    Grabs Dorsey's minutes? He ain't taking away from DMo or Josh Smith.

    I think they ease TJ into giving him minutes. Start him off with few minutes.

    Also, I don't see GSW losing two in a row.

    I do think we have a great shot at beating them since the last two games were close.

    Hopefully, we keep that momentum rolling and practice championship basketball.

    Dwight, DMo, and Josh are gonna have to step it up.

    Ugh, remove the "crush" from my previous post. I thought they were injured.

    We need to all stop and remember just how good T Jones is. At the peak of his game he is better than all but the very elite PF's in the league.

    I think the Rox win and win easily. At full strength, the Rox are a bad match-up against the Warriors.

    Jones cannot play the 3. He is way too slow to keep up on defense against the likes of Leonard, Batum, or Barnes.
    The best thing I can come up with is that the power forward spot be switched out every 5-6 minutes, and the center spot every 10 minutes, so that dmo can start the half for 6 minutes, smoove comes in for dmo, dmo comes in for howard, and jones comes in for smoove, and howard comes in for dmo. End the half with jones and howard on the floor.

    LOL tl;dr : In McHale I trust...

    Hope our D can keep 'em under 100. We've given up 101,99, and 120 in the last three games. The good thing is that we've put up 112, 113, and 113 in the last three. Our strong D seems to have weakened lately, but the O has stepped up. A low-scoring or high-scoring game tonight?

    Man they are all about the Warriors on NBA TV... You would think Houston is a scrub team by the no talk they are receiving

    DMo could get traded soon. Sad, cause I like DMo.
