    What you got and why? I realize that Houston will play small a lot and have Parson at the 4 a lot but in a traditional lineup who starts at PF and why?

    I just really wish D-Mo work on his 3 points though, Miami is going to double up on Harden/D12 in games 4 and 5 and will leave D-mo open all day.

    Whoever plays better. Honestly. It's not about fit with the two of them, we don't have that luxury yet. It's whoever starts playing like an NBA player.

    In a perfect world where they both pan out, probably the one who has the better stroke from range.

    The question is: will DMo be strong enough to hold his ground and will the game have slowed down for him and will he be a better 3pt Shooter. If all of These question can be answerd with yes ist has to be him. He has the size, the quickness, the Post moves and he should be able to be a good 3pt shooter.

    Jones had a much higher ground and a lower ceiling. So if DMo doesn't turn out the way we want, he should be able to provide good minutes.

    I know dmo's bulked up. Anyone got any intel on his game now? Love his game if he could just keep his positioning and not fall over all the time.

    If T.Jones work on his 3 and get consistent at it, i can see him replace Dmo because he has the ability to drive and attack the basket as well...something TMo doesn't have.

    Based on how they played last year -- neither. Omer. Parsons. Garcia. Heck, Bev.

    But, they are both going to get better thankfully. DMo is bulking up, and if he gets that corner three down, he could be a deadly good fit on this team. If he can also establish position, rebound, not turn it over and still run the floor even 3/4's as good as he did last year, then he would be the perfect player for this team. He is a great passer, very skilled -- I actually love DMo as a player.

    TJones could be a great fit to if he plays more disciplined and starts knocking down his outside shots consistently.

    However, with a team as great as the Rockets have, you can't let any position be manned by two players this unproven. If Asik and Howard can not play together then Asik must be traded for a starting 4.

    We'll be able to watch him play in September for his team. EuroBasket 2013.

    I forgot which Rocket management type said it, but IIRC that official said D-Mo had bulked up properly to 259 pounds. D-Mo's height and added weight would give him an advantage over T-Jo.

    Terrence Jones. D-mo can add size coming off the bench when Dwight needs a rest.

    I believe in T.Jones, who was arguable our best rookie last year, have no idea why he didn't get the playing time he deserved, but when he got the minutes he always produced.. he should have a big year next season
