    Better defender and natural scorer yes. Scola was a better rebounder.

    Scola was a borderline all star, a much better player - and we bought him out....GR8.

    So that's the bar now? More positives than negatives? I would expect more than that for a 300+ page thread.

    You have been around here long enough to know that is not true.

    I don't know him just like I don't know you. So he's not my boy. But he's hot garbage this season. Now that's keeping it real. Something you and a few others struggle with big time.

    Both of them will be gone so the TJones vs Dmo debate is over here.

    You can debate when TJones is doing well on another team or DMo's trade won't be nixed next time.

    I wouldn't blame Dmo if he leaves. I still think he sticks around. Loves the city too much.

    Codman, don't tell me DMo haters is NOT a real thing.

    All these people are in my ignore list for a long time. All die hard DMo haters without a legit reason. Snow Villiers is annoying pro Lithuanian child.

    Too funny, so you are ignoring the only guy who is pro Lithuanian?

    Sabonis has been and will be the best Lithuanian for a long time

    I do find it funny that the "DMo vs Jones" thing ended up boiling down to a productive player on the Rockets and hands down best PF on the roster vs the worst PF in the NBA. Since they were so unbelievably wrong, I understand why the pro-Jones crowd would continue to lash out, but it's getting embarrassing.

    You have to be honest, dude can't rebound, he can't score much since he doesn't get many shots from the areas he has to be in to score, his defense is also ain't that great, at least this season, he doubles the pick n roll way too much, he comes over to help on the ball handler for no ****ing reason, leaving his man wide open either for a 3 or a post position (you're welcome to re watch that Pelicans game and see it for yourself, just an example), his passing and good post ups are negated by the fact that Rockets don't make too many passed before the shot goes of, so he doesn't touch the ball on the offensive end to make much of his passing skills, his good to guard slower 4/5. but anyone with a decent speed often blows by him and its either points or a foul. He might be a good player on another team, but since Rockets don't particularly use his strengths (post ups, passing), his weakness become what he is. He really needs to work on his ball handling in order to get himself into good post position, and not lose the ball to the secondary defender, he keeps showing so many work out videos, but apart from his improved shooting he haven't added much. One way or another his not a starting caliber player and he got a lot of holes in his game, he also needs to get much stronger (particularly with the ball ), i know he won't gain lateral quickness (so he could defender better), but he needs to at least go hard after those rebounds...
