He looks awesome offensively, but defensively he is just horrible..... opponents get layups with him in position and he is too weak to rebound effectively. I was hoping we could use him as a PF ala Dirk style, but he is really slow...

Not coincidence, but not what you imply either. He only gets to play because it's a blow out, not the other way around... :grin:
Motiejunas needs some more time to work on his defense before he starts playing big minutes for the Rockets. Rockets don't need anymore scoring as it is, so I hope he can continue to get in some work in the D-League, and maybe crack the rotation in the latter part of this season.
What's with the Euro guys and tweeting so many smily faces? Remember Dragic's classic "We beat bulls woooo )))" tweets? Haha, I love it.
Yeah, we wouldn't want to take Patterson or morris's strong defense and rebounding off the court.... Give mr a break about his defense. He needs to play so he can get used to the speed and strength of other NBA players. He'd open things up more on offense. And he's probably already a better help defender and rebounder than Morris. Patterson acts like he's allergic to rebounds. Screw the company line...only reason Morris and Patterson are playing is for trade value. Dmo clearly has more upside than either of those guys. Hell, every rookie we have this year including Royce probably has more upside than those two. The sooner Morris and Patterson are gone the better.
