This might be D-mo's time

hell nah, he is way to slow and cant shoot worth a damn. It will get us torched. Jones plays strong in the paint and can block shots. He needs to be down there with asik

 

YES HE WILL GET THE PLAYING TIME, oh wait...McHale is Rockets coach

 

McHale should have done a Popovich and gave up a game during the 4 games in 5 days stretch and gives the majority of the minutes to the rookies.

Basicly that is what I think is happening too. The original post cites Yao and Dirk looking bad their first year as a reason that D-mo should play even if he doesn't look 100% ready. The counter arguement is that Yao and Dirk playing poorly and then improving could also be a reason to keep playing Patterson and/or Morris, both of whom have never been starters before and could also improve with patience.

That doesn't mean they get their jobs indefinitely, but it's not like they haven't had some good games to mix in with their bad ones. You need to give Patterson and Morris the same level of patience you want the team to give D-Mo. Otherwise when D-mo does get a shot, if he has any struggles you are going to see the same thread saying Terrence Jones should be given the spot, and so on.

 

This is what I like to see. A guy who wants to get better, accepting the D-League as a way of developing, like it's meant to be there for. This guy's got a bright future in the NBA, I just know it.

 

Might is a very very broad term

 

Morey took questions on Twitter today:

Daryl Morey ‏@dmorey
Playing well in practice/NBDL-tough 2crack rotation-guys playing well MT @DUNOTS Motiejunas? Game intriguing, will he get chance? #SSAChat13

 

I actually agree, good post.

Mr. D

 

The problem i have with DMO is that he cannot defend well enough (he looks like Harden on D losing his man all the time) and he really cannot rebound (possibly because he's too light? I hope that's the reason a 7 footer can't grab a board)

I think he needs to get blooded a little more this season to understand the NBA game better and i would love to see him in action a little more
