    Just newly released, though I saw some overlap with Part1. Miss those hook shots!

    Someone inject a Philosopher's stone inside him so he can be back before the Finals.

    D-Mo has come a long way since the start of the season. Our front court is going to be stacked next season.

    I miss him. He would have been great along with Dwight. Harden is a great guy, he called D-Mo and told him we wouldn't be in the playoffs without him.

    Get well soon D-Mo. We want you back, healthy and better than ever.

    DMo is a true amphibian. :grin: I've never seen any player who can shoot with equal proficiency with either hand. Unlike many great post players who prefer one side of the block. DMo can post with equally ease on either side.

    D-Mo is definitely missed. Our front court with Howard, Smith, Jones and D-Mo would have been the deepest and most potent of them all in these playoffs.

    Add Bev to the perimeter defense, and we are talking about a stacked playoff team.

    One more reason to bring those guys back next year, along with a starting caliber pg.

    This, and a certified 3 point shooter and we become automatic favorites to win it all.

    Health permitting, we are THIS close to being dominant next year. This is no fantasy of mine as we won 56 games in a stacked West looking more like a M.A.S.H. unit.

    A little tweak here and there. There is no need anymore to blow the team up for a pipe dream.

    this just made me sad.

    dmo and bev would make us the favorites in our second round match.

    That's ok, man. The foundation is solid. When you take Prigs and Terry out, we are a relatively young team with tremendous upside (D-Mo, Jones, Capela). There is a lot to look forward in the next few years, a much better situation than the last 19 years.

    It definitely blows to be without him right now. I take solace in the fact that this guy is 24 and the leap he took this year was impressive. Watching that reel just makes me excited for how good he'll be when he hits his prime.

    It's amazing how much he's improved. If he can develop into a 40% 3 point shooter, along with his already good defense and ability to create his own shot, he really has a shot to be an All-Star caliber player.

    Rockets really need to keep him. He's going to get paid, but he's young and already very skilled. He'll have a long career. He's basically Luis Scola with better athleticism and size, who shoots threes with what I would estimate to be the same effective field goal percentage of Scola's very proficient midrange jumper.

    I don't see why DMo can't be a very high quality player, in the same vein as Zach Randolph, Al Jefferson, and Paul Millsap. Not quite a star, but a well rounded player that can takeover a game from time to time.

    Honestly, if it's going to cost us DMo, our pick, and Ariza to get Aldridge or Love, I'd rather just wait until 2016.

    I was thinking; the Rockets are a championship contender THIS year, even without its starting PG and this very skilled PF (who admirably started a big chunk of this season). This team is stacked!

    One thing you don't see about DMO in these videos is his defense. He made Harden-sized strides this season, particularly when he was playing as PF alongside Dwight.
