    The 6 rebound man Montiejunas can't stay with Blake Griffin or Draymond Green, nor guard either player as both are too quick for him.

    Thankfully, Montiejunas wasn't available to participate in the 2015 playoffs, because if he was, the Rockets never would have gotten past the Clippers. Clippers would have won the series 4-1.

    The Clippers weren't prepared for the speed, athleticism and versatility of Josh Smith at PF (inserted as a starter before game 5) which increased the Rocket tempo and gave the Rockets a shot of adrenaline on D.

    They can't stay with him either.

    If you want to troll successfully, the ridiculous things you say have to at least sort of approach reality. You aren't going to rile many people up if you are saying things that literally no sane person would agree with.

    I watched all of JVG's stint in Houston. The offense was painful to say the least. But I did love the defense. But then there are those Warriors. Last season their defense had little relationship to JVG's idea of defense. And it was the best in the NBA. The NBA evolves quickly and probably has left Jeff behind.

    Please -- just between you and me -- are you a troll or are you sincerely unfamiliar with basketball?

    If you're going to critique Dmo's game, his speed isn't the thing you criticize. Either you're trolling or just basketball ignorant. Either way you should post less

    D-Mo obviously is one of the fastest really big men in the NBA. And his sheer speed closing out on the perimeter is just amazing. He can get out on the break ahead of Harden. He also is unsurprisingly one of the quickest. To judge quickness one just needs to view his post game and look at how quickly he closes out on wing penetration. And his rotations on defense are almost flawless to boot. He will not block many shots, but Hibbert, perhaps the best rim protector in the NBA, doesn't either.

    PointZero should post more. Because I want to see what he has to say and laugh at it.

    The main thing when D-Mo fully recovers from the injury around September to October is that he is consistent with his overall play. His defense improved a lot last year and inside game. It would be nice to have healthy D-Mo, Harden, and Dwight finally.

    Hibbert blocks plenty of shots.

    does D-Mo have the deadliest hook shot in the game next to Timmy D?

    Rockets gonna be the kryptonite to 90% of the league that are following the trend of going small. They not only play 4s at 5, but also try 3s at 4. All that because dominant post bigs were extinct. Imagine Small Forwards guarding DMO in the post when PFs and Cs can't do that.

    Exactly, Dwight and DMo gonna force other teams to adapt to Rockets and not the other way round.

    Somebody show me a t jones highlight reel that shows even an ounce of offensive ( or defensive) moves that D Mo has. D Mo creates offense, T Jones is a garbage man, albeit a good one. End of story.

    I looked for his NBA highlights on youtube and could only find single games highlights, Kentucky highlights and D league highlights mixed with couple episodes from NBA, but he has no NBA highlights videos :(
