    I wonder if he worked on his shooting mechanics during the offseason. I also wonder how a 60% FT shooter can also be 37% from 3-point line.

    An internal monologue would benefit you.

    When I was a freshman in high school, I could shoot 3's at a good percentage and hit shots from all over the court.

    But on the free throw line, I sucked. It's just a different shot.

    I worked on my free throws a lot.. making it simple and doing it over and over and over again the same way to get my muscle memory down.

    Then it became automatic and I was a good free throw shooter.



    But I can understand how someone can shoot from other areas of the court but not be a great free throw shooter. That was my life until I was about 15.

    But even still... it seems like by the time you get to the NBA those kinks should have been worked out.

    So Jones is better than Brewer and Ariza, and only 4 pts away from having the same rating as Ty Lawson... seems legit.

    Is this NBA live? Would make sense. Also like i mentioned 2 days ago - surprised and happy how many people still underrate DMo.

    Also is this default lineup or did he inserted himself instead of Jones who has higher ranking?

    the Rockets seem to be going ultra- conservative with D-Mo don't be shocked if he plays a lot less minutes than expected early in the season. I am a fan, but those who can't stand Jones better buckle up

    Morey might be going shady about DMo, reducing his minutes, numbers of games he plays, not putting into starting lineup just to reduce his image next summer and resign for cheap.

    I doubt it. Dmo being next to Dwight and Harden in the middle of the billboard says a lot about how the organization views him.
