    Where'd you come up with this notion? When DMo came in at the end of the Hawks game, he was passed the ball on every possession... it couldn't have been more obvious that they were going out of their way to get him involved.

    Dmo averages the most shots per 36 minutes on the team. Last year he averaged the second most. Kind of hard to do with one guy passing you the ball.

    You can't just use per36 stats for a player playing very few minutes per game. It's just not logical.

    Can we use our eyes from watching multiple other people pass him the ball during games?

    very easy to do when you only get about 3 shots a game.

    All assists to DMo from Rox/Nuggets game:

    Motiejunas Driving Layup Shot: Made (2 PTS) Assist: Harden (4 AST)
    Motiejunas 3pt Shot: Made (5 PTS) Assist: Garcia (1 AST)
    Motiejunas Driving Finger Roll Layup Shot: Made (7 PTS) Assist: Beverley (2 AST)
    Motiejunas Turnaround Bank shot: Made (9 PTS) Assist: Parsons (2 AST)

    Seems like others are willing and capable.

    His isolation defense is excellent for the most part, unfortunately his screenplay defense sucks so much ass. If a proper screen is set against Beverley he just folds. The vast majority of times he either:

    1) Fouls.
    2) Flops trying to get a moving screen call.
    3) Trails 2 feet behind his man helplessly all the way to the basket, not even bothering to pick up his helper's man.

    I think Brooks may even gets over the screen more consistently than Beverley does now, although that may be a fluke of Brooks' limited sample size this year. I alluded to this fact and the concern thereof at the beginning of the season: The more they see Beverley play, the more likely they will have that in their scouting report.

    Whether whomever Beverley ends up on gets free trots to the basket all night will depend on whether Jeff Hornacek has been paying enough attention to the Rockets' games.

    Bledsoe hasn't been the same since returning from injury. He's either still dealing with the injury or just needs games until he hits form.

    The Suns only chance tonight is if they hits their 3s otherwise this game should be fairly easy.

    Hopefully the Suns turn up with a decent enough showing for the Rockets to scout their talent up close. Their perimeter D & Miles Plumlee would make great additions.

    Uh, I fear another loose today.
    I watched the last Suns games, and there are pretty good, better than us recently.
    I can only hope they play the 3rd and 4th Q as yesterday

    Time for Harden and Howard...the two max players to shine tonight without Asik, Lin, and Parsons.
