I've been impressed with his movement since coming back. I think the rest of his game will come back; he just needs time to shake off the cobwebs.
Bwhahaha man you can be moronic a lot on here. Nobody is lashing out because Jones is hot garbage this season. Get your facts right. Now Dmo only fans lashed out when he was traded. And the best power forward should be averaging more than 5 points 3 rebounds in 20 minutes a game. (Since he's been back) Bwhahaha best power forward.
You responded to a post of mine earlier so I'm not buying that I'm on your ignore list. I think you temporarily out all these people on there so you could make a dramatic post I'm not a hater, I just point out that DMo isn't a superstar and isn't a good rebounder and the DMo fans lose their minds
Dmo played very well against the Bulls despite the foul trouble and I was surprised JB took him out early in the 4th and didn't bring him back. So far I've been very happy with his return from injury and I hope JB keeps playing him as much as he is able.
Me too. Defensivley he is been above my expectations, not only effective as usual around the line, coming in time to contest shots or cut penetrations, but also showing nice mobility outside... He's showing enough mobility to be an starting PF int his NBA, even knowing he's going to struggle to catch the Draymond Greens of life, but he's far from being a disaster, and actually has been better defending those kind of PF than Josh or Jones so far. Being already a better defender in terms of rotating in time, not getting lost, and sustain a solid defense. Don't know about his potential back issues, but the player Im watching should be in our future plans.
EVeryone knows openlayup is the most pathetic fan on this board. Guy isn't even a Rockets fan. He's the closest thing to a LOF.
He was subbed after Mirotic drained a wide open weak side 3. DMo was supposed to guard him, I think, but I'm not sure, because he was also at the paint, helping to protect the rim against drivers. I don't know if you can blame DMo for that, seems like this is Rockets system, because DMo was doing exactly the same thing against Pelicans, when Cuningham kept draining three after three from weak side corner. It was obvious why, but JB didn't change the defense even after timeouts. So I assume it's not Donatas fault, he doesn't just decide to leave his man at weak side corner 3, going there and staying with his man would be the easy thing to do, staying in paint and trying to defend both paint and weakside is the hard thing to do. It's all on JB. It was obvious he's not going to play DMo more than 20 minutes, so it was really stupid to sub him so early in every quarter, like he was going to foul out. He finished the game with 4 fouls only. Should have kept him in
It's amusing you think you're "keeping it real" when in reality most of the time you're just posting nonsense.
Really?? Are you serious? He got the cleaning brush from right next to the toilet, looked at the toilet, hesitated, then tried to put it in the hole. Missed, clanged off the side and got poop everywhere. Fired.
Is the team managing his minutes on back to backs ? Or were the situations in both games just not right for him to get more burn . I thought he played well tonight , but when Corey Brewer is that hot you leave him in the game . Also Capela playing well again puts him > Dmo for minutes at the 5 . I thought maybe there was a time when he could have come in for Ariza to give him some rest , but given that we won and played extremely well I'm not gonna nitpick . Dmo if he stays healthy will be huge for us down the stretch. His propensity and skill moving the ball is a great option to have at the 4 while at the same time he can provide good positional defense and stay with bigger 4's better than our other options . As much as his 3 hasn't been falling , I'm fairly confident it will come around and his play on the post can get us buckets if we get in a dry spell as we are wont to do .
Really good to see him moving the ball so quickly, moving around, setting picks. If we're not going to get much from the 4 spot, at least it's good to have someone who won't waste time and will make himself useful.
