    Noticed he wasn't on the active players list on the box score tonight.

    I feel like we could have used him when our offense was getting stagnant tonight.

    Any information on what's going on with Kostas?

    No playing time between DMo, Jones, & Smith.

    When Howard returns one of the above three are going to get their mins cut drastically.

    In my opinion, as much as I like him, it'll be DMo. Jones and Smith outplay him consistently. But wouldn't be surprised if we ran a bench of Terry, Brewer, Jones, Smith, and DMo when DH returns.

    lol.. I know you're joking but there was video of it before one of the games and they showed the footage during the pre-game show.

    He went for a lay-up and just rolled it.

    Brewer takes his SF minutes
    Smith takes his PF minutes
    Jones takes his lunch money

    mental r****dation with the rockets management is what happened. i've said this about a million times. he can run the floor, pass, defend, play small ball pf, his shot is the same as brewer's, he has good size, getting 4+mil, he should be on the court. he'd help give ariza some much needed rest. only need to play him around 10mpg.

    he could be growing as a player right now, instead he's rotting on the bench. terrible job by rockets

    I don't know if this is a joke or if your one of those fans who also thought that Dwight was faking his injury to avoid the media during the child abuse case.

    Papa forces the pass too often, for too many turnovers. Something that tends to happen with first year players, especially those who can create something. I'm hoping the guy 'gets it', and is highly useful next year.

    Makes sense to me that he is deep on the bench.

    He's a savvy player for sure and is a great passer but his shooting is frankly below average, and at his size, he's not able to guard most high level SFs because he is too slow. Don't get me wrong - I like him. He knows how to play the game and has the type of basketball IQ you can't teach, but he really needs to refine his game to be anything more than a spot minutes type of guy. That's not a harsh criticism by the way - he just looks like a rookie right now.
