    You're reaching. It's desperation on your part.

    We get it. You're "DMo or Bust."

    I don't know why you would even mention the word "bias." Coming from you, that's an absolute joke.

    I remember McHale talking about the rockets free throw problems and how the big's make them all in practice but its a different story in games LOL.

    I'm pretty sure they exercise FTs wrong. You need to be shooting them while being tired. For example before every free throw you pumpfake at the three, drible drive to the basket, layup, drible it to FT line and shoot. Repeat. This simulates in game conditions and standing at the line and shooting 100 fts doesnt do anything, but in all practice videos I saw they do that semi useless drill of plain shooting.

    We don't know what Dmo would have done in the playoffs.

    With Donatas Motiejunas out while coming back from last season's back surgery - McHale indicated he will be back for the opener -

    It's a fairly large article and there's only one relevant section which I'll post

    Everything else was about the other injuries on the team. I'd post the whole thing, but I'm not 100% sure the rules about that here.

    As long as he plays the 4 he can. He is like Scola that way but with more size.

    Because, that was written October 16. Feigen then tweeted this the next day (today):
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Still no timetable on return. I'm told he has been stringing together consecutive days of workouts without setbacks. <a href="https://t.co/CPlqPCpvKG">https://t.co/CPlqPCpvKG</a></p>&mdash; Jonathan Feigen (@Jonathan_Feigen) <a href="https://twitter.com/Jonathan_Feigen/status/655397773458583552">October 17, 2015</a></blockquote>
    <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>So it seems Feigen's contradicting himself and DMo's return may still be unclear.

    All this means to me is that McHale expects him back opening night, but no one else has given that indication yet so Feigen reports no timetable and publish McHale's comment to cover the bases. McHale is an old school guy and probably made the comment in passing that yeah he thinks DMO will be ready for opening night without knowing any details from the doctors but fully expects his return.

    I interpret this as: DMO is expected back by the opener but we don't know exactly when between then and now that will be.
