    Why?! Jones has been amazing lately!

    Hopefully Dorsey can hold Vuc... Maybe Dmo finds his mojo playing the 4.

    Good to see that Pat will be playing. If he wasn't, Prigioni should have been the starter, and Johnson should have come off the bench. Nick is learning how to play the point, Prigioni's experience would be needed. I hope Prigioni won't be ignored by McHale tonight.

    That is very strange. McHale strikes again.

    Been struggling bad on the boards recently. Dorsey is our best rebounder with Dwight out. Makes sense. I doubt Dorsey plays all that much, just like before when he was starting.

    WTF? How does he start DMo but not Jones. Dmo has been absolute ass lately. What's even more baffling, in his ****ty clippers game he had the most minutes of anyone. Wtf is going on

    Dmo needs to be the one benched not Jones. I feel Jones has passed Dmo up and is bringing more to the table then Jones. Weird move.

    His work on Jordan is the reason we won that game, and the reason he played so much.

    Still, very strange to see Dorsey starting, not really sure the reasoning behind it.

    My guess is they want Dorsey in for rebounding and pairing him with Jones gives you pretty bad spacing for Harden to work. Dmo has been the more consistent 3 point threat.

    Sometimes I just don't understand this man coaching decisions. How in the hell you sit your leading rebounder and your 2nd leading scorer since inserting him back into the starting lineup. Lol

    Just trying out two full units, I guess.

    Damn everyone was trying to trade Jones two weeks ago. Now McHale is considered an idiot for not starting him. (Some other good Rockets don't start, you know.)

    Despite the number of rebounds Jones is getting, we've been terrible on the defensive glass since Jones has been starting. Dorsey is much better on the defensive boards than Dmo or Jones.

    You never seen me post trade T. Jones on this site ever.

    To me that's a dumb coaching move. Dorsey is trash so why is he getting the chance to start. Dude is averaging 4 minutes a game. Hahaha. Mchale is off the chains
