    I think it's more because you can't have 3 black guys on the billboard, it's kinda racist. And he is good looking at the other hand, for this kind of stuff.

    How Rockets view him and how others view him is not the same thing. Morey and players exposure go hand in hand. Remember when 2Pat and Morris twin had suddenly increased minutes and shots at starting lineup months before being traded? Morey certainly believes that player exposure increases the value of a player and he has no incentive to increase DMo's value. That's why slow recovery works both long term health vise for DMo and the team, and money vise for the team. I'm sure Morey sees that current roster minus DMo will do just fine for first months of regular season.

    Neither Dmo nor Jones have made the breakthrough to the Top 70 NBA players like Parsons.....

    Dmo is definitely a top 70 player. He's a top 10 post player.

    When D-Mo gets on the court and starts nailing those corner 3's at 40% with his top end post moves it's gonna be gg with this line-up. He has been nailing them in his workouts at an incredible rate.

    LOL...I think he is finding humor in present day's circulation of being offended. It was a stretch at best...the attempt itself was humorous.:grin:

    Things like this are indicators.


    Where's Terrence? Has anybody in the Rockets organization ever said anything like this about Terrence?

    Just stop. Don't you have better things to do than to constantly slam one of our players? We get it, you don't like Jones. There was no need for you to make yet another derogatory comment about Jones. This thread is supposed to be about DMo. People like you bring this place down.

    As for DMo. I'm glad that he seems to be getting closer to returning.

    This is really cool. I do kinda wonder how many hours NBA players actually work in a year compared to the rest of us. I would guess if an NBA player put in 8 hours in a given day training that would be considered unbelievable. Not to mention, us average joes have to work out on top of our jobs just to avoid getting way out of shape.

    Indicators for what?

    DMo has a lot of catching up due to the type of injury he sustained if he wants to be ready for the beginning of the season. It's not like he has been fully healthy and just been working on his game....

    Have you actually checked on what the organization has said about TJones?

    Indicators of what. Did you even watch the interview and the full context? Sounds like no. He even ended that quote with saying he wishes it was a full basketball activities workout
