D-Mo getting a lot of good time here in a complete blowout Could have had a good 7 minutes, instead he'll get one.
When your bench-warming big is your best screener, and your point guard is your best rebounder, your team is in trouble.
D-Mo should have started the 4th quareter. theleast the Rockets staff can do is show what the fans want
Same thing Sampson did the last time an opportunity to play DMo came about. The rookie is too good for the DLeague and not good enough to be a regular starter. So you give him burn when you can. Blowouts are text book opportunities to run a few plays for him and get him on game film. With two minutes the guy is susceptible to rushing in an attempt to impress the coaches. Not enough time, IMO.
No good reason. Should have played a developmental lineup and play guys that don't usually get to play instead of Delfino and Morris. Like those guys but they get regular minutes. Should have put in Machado too if he's active.
Smith, Aldrich, Morris, and Jones all got some minutes, and they're all young. And D-Mo got in at the very end.
