    Tmo or MoT? I think you mean Mo Taylor who will be back 11-12 for the Portland game.

    I don't think he is due to be released to practice until middle of November but I don't remember where I heard it.

    I, for one, am much more intrigued by the return of T-Mo than Mo-T. I feel he fills a bigger hole, and is less redundant than Taylor. If he plays anything like he did in the pre-season, whooo-boy! do we have a team for the future...

    Intruiging...yes. i am interested in seeing if he will live up to his flashes of potential.

    BUT

    How can you say he fills a bigger hole that Mo-T???? T-MO is an unproven second year player. Many people had written him off as a mistake to pick. He never showed anything last year. Yes, he did show some potential and improved shooting in the preseason. However, there is no way that you can even compare his REAL impact on the team with taylor's. Mo taylor brings close to a double double most nights, has a great mid range jumper, and is really pretty consistent. TMO has not shown the ability to do any of these things. Maybe he will, but I wouldn't let a few good work outs suggest that he is more valuable to the rockets than an established, consistent NBA player.


    If you mean this comment in terms of actually physical bodies and options for us to go with...I mean, yes, we do have other people who can play the 4 but we also have almost as many/if not as many players at the 3.

    I hope Tmo will become what you are suggestingb but don't runover proven contributers when jumping on a preseason bandwagon ;)

    I am anxious to get TMo back also. But I heard he had a high ankle sprain. Cato had that two years ago and it turned into a season long naging injury.

    rockets.com injury report says he will miss the first 2-4 weeks of season. another question is who will take his place on the il.

    MoT doesn't bring a double-double - that'd mean he'd have to rebound....

    I think that Macbeth qualified his statement by saying 'if TMo played anything like the preseason' - considering his pre-season form, if he were to play anything like that, then he would be more valuable than MoT, simply because he'd be bringing a mid-range jumper!
