    great argument. I LIKE dmo I am just not delusional like the DMO only fans or fanboys. I didn't know that not calling someone an elite defender now equals not liking someone. LMAO. What next? Saying humans have two legs is condesending to the human race?

    Really morrey tried to say something good about one of his players? Guess what dd he also said that Harden is the mvp last year and what you think about that since you are just a repeater of every Moreys' word? I am sure morey has earned every nickel and dime of yours with his words and actions too.

    Still NO argument.

    To the OFs, anyone who criticises their baby (whoever that may be) is a troll.

    Malakas has made the best posts in this thread IMO

    If he is the x factor, Terrence Jones currently looks like about 10x.

    Yeah Jones has a game like this every once in a while just to make it worse the rest of the time when he does nothing.

    If Jones somehow manages to play like he did tonight over the course of a season, he'd be almost as good as some of his fans think he is already. Personally, I'm pulling for him, if he does well, the Rockets do well.

    Spot on and you can easily see who's the DMO only fans are. Dude doesn't do anything wrong in their eyes, and they come up with all types of excuses when a true Rockets fan point out his flaws.

    I love that we have both him and Jones on this team. We're solid at the PF position when they're healthy.

    Jones has had more solid games than bad games. Every player has bad games anyways, well except your glorious hero. hahaha

    And we all know you're not pulling for him, so please stop the madness.

    Oh how bout them Texans!! Finally a win in Indy.

    This thread is seriously getting into the paging cyberx realm. DMo would be impressed.

    Lol sorry. That's a laughable opinion.

    At this point I wish the mods would shut down this thread because it has deviated from what its intention was anyway.

    Motiejunas was the X-Factor for a lot of our success last year.

    This year hopefully he'll have the same impact.

    There's this back and forth between the dummies such as:
    unbiased D-Mo fans (though I think there's not too many of these)
    guys who hate D-Mo
    and people who try too hard to "keep it real"

    And it's just silly at this point. I summed up everything about D-Mo in the very first post of this thread. They're still accurate today. Nothing to argue about. ;)

    His strengths have gotten stronger. His weaknesses, such as rebounding, are still there. That's it really.

    You think DMo would flex after seeing this thread?

    All I know is Dmo held the fort while Howard was out for half the season, and Jones out for 2/3 of the season.

    The team were winning games with Black/Motiejunas and Dorsey/Motiejunas.

    Team defense were in the middle of the pack. They did better than we expected them to.

    When McHale was rolling out those front lines, everybody was crying about how the team is going to be the worst defensive team in the league. Well, they proved us wrong.

    This year however.........:eek:

    I'm already annoyed because I feel like once dmo is fully healthy bickerstaff isn't going to utilize him properly

    I liked the play where we gave DMo the ball at the top and he tossed it in deep to Howard for an easy layup.
    It looked effortless since they are taller than everyone else on the floor.
    Would like to see that used more.

    Jones' play last night just goes to show how wildly inconsistent he actually is. He was the man last night -- But I just wish that he'd bring that level of intensity, awareness, and effort every night.

    This team would be tough to beat if he did.

    LMAO you didn't sum up anything but go on trolling, KID.

    Still Silence when it comes to an actual argument about DMO's "great" defence.
    I wouldn't worry about that so much. By the time DMO is healthy who knows who is left in this roster, but he will be the starting PF. We already have seen such improvement in ball movement and in trying to involve much more the bigs.
