    Lol... So Howard is the new scapegoat?

    Yes DMo is fine, assuming he can stay healthy. Interesting to see how he finishes the season.

    Probably on the bench - as JBB can't get his head out of his own ass enough to figure out how to use a player with his skillset.

    Hornets up 18. When DMo sat they were up only by 3. HA HA HA. Nice rotations. Such impact. Much wow.

    DMo needs to go off publicly and call out what he sees, he is out of here anyway.

    When on court, he sees open Hornets players that he's supposed to guard alone. When on bench he doesn't see anything, since he's sitting so far behind on the bench, too many players, actually, tonight ALL of them, blocking the view, sitting in front of him.
    Morey knows DMo won't say anything, because he already said stuff about Pistons. DMo would only damage his image, come off as a guy who talks **** about his team. Morey is abusing it. Makes me sick.

    Watch him light it up this summer for his country in the Olympics.

    I'd like DMo to come of the bench...but run the freaking offense through him. He is completely a shell of himself out there with the starting unit. Dwight and DMo dont play well together.

    Nobody plays well with Howard - he has to go - for this team to finally build correctly.

    I second this. DMo seems to be tailored made to be a 6th man right now as he plays he way back into NBA shape physically and experience wise.

    Wouldn't be surprised if he signs with another team with a coach that knows how to utilize his game, and watch him flourish and be what he was last year to the Rockets when Dwight and Jones were injured most of the year.

    I'm pissed Dmo didn't play more , but it may have been the right move . We needed 3 wings out there because Beverley and terry can't guard for **** . So Dmo would have been covering walker .

    What is Howard's FGA this year and how does that compare to his career?

    I would like DMo to buy his own franchise and start himself.

    Of course....he needs to choose wisely so he can find a team that plays the TEAM game - he would THRIVE on the Spurs, or the Warriors or Atlanta for instance.

    This ISO pound the ball and ignore defense crap is never going to win anything.

    • he'd trade dwight for patrick patterson, luis scola and bismack biyombo.
    • he'd then give aaron brooks a 3 year 21 million dollar contract
    • He'd then hire Jonas Kazlauskas as the head coach and tell him to run 15 post ups a game for Donuts.
    • He'd force Harden to hold the ball 75 percent less than he already does and make Sam Dekker a point forward so we can develop our rookies.
    • This will be used in an effort to convince James he wanted to get traded so we land Boris Diaw, Kyle Anderson, and Boban Marjonivic from the Spurs for James Harden and Trevor Ariza.
    He'll then say in a press conference that Dekker, McDaniels, Capela, Boban, Anderson, Harrell, and Motiejunas are the future for the Rockets as Brooks, Scola, Diaw and Patterson teach them how to play team ball. He'll say this is the right way to build a team instead of star ****ing.

    In one sentence

    He'd gather a team full of glue guys and super-duper role players and fails to sign a superstar.

    Dmo has had chance after chance. Like I said, he and Jones are neck and neck. Pretty soon Dmo will start to receive the same treatment as Jones. It is already starting.
    DMo has never started for his countries team. It was always Valanciunas and guess what, he is mediocre as well. They are just rotation players that show flashes here and there. The best we can ask from Dmo is to have good games back to back and be happy with that.
