    D-Mo's best asset is his post game. He's not going to get that many touches in the post when Dwight is on the floor.

    Anyway, if we want offense and ball movement, we'll go with Parsons or Casspi. If D and garbage collecting, we'll go with Jones. Terrence has been playing surprisingly good D on Gay and Carmelo and moved the ball better than before. He has his share of mistakes but his activity level gets us extra possessions to offset that.

    This. Is. A. New. Season. Do you know what it means? If you judge second-year players by their rookie season, by your logic, most of them should be benched or traded without ever give them a chance!

    be patient, he'll get minutes but he has to show he can rebound and defend. his scoring is optional

    This is actually the second idiotic post of yours that grabs my attention. You've been a terrible poster this year, and last year, and year before that.

    Yes yes yes! Let D-Mo play some minutes. I like his post move and his hook shots. And he's got great work ethics.

    Let him play with Jeremy. Jeremy can help him get better.

    No more 7 men rotation please.

    DMo does work well with Jeremy. They bring out the best in each other. It's because DMo is so active on offense, sets picks like crazy, and is a willing passer. Asik (as PF) and TJones usually just stand around, lending to an ISO offense.

    Your right, DMo is a smart player and knows what to do on the offensive end of the court.

    Dwight had iso post-ups at least 5 times against Bargnani but couldn't score, but D-Mo can't post up because we can't change our play calls?????????

    That's just crazy..........

    Actually, that's the definition of insanity!!!


    Starting D-Mo is the cure for the Rocket's offensive woes. He moves the ball & can set picks, 2 constants.

    Give credit where credit is due. Jones does not get 9, 10 rebounds, steals and blocks in his last games by standing around.

    DMo got his chance last year and he was pushed around like a little girl. Doesn't anyone remember DMo falling to the floor numerous times every game. When DMo is ready to play like a man, I'm sure he will get some minutes.

    I thought he has looked good in the minutes he's had with Dwight.

    And on D he makes James Harden look like a great defensive player.

    Yes he pretty much was... He wasn't even 10 feet from his man the whole time.

    Seems legit to put 7-footer on 6'6'' swingman, or yall think Asik or Howard couldve done better?

    In preseason D-mo was averaging 18.3 pts, 10.16 rebs, with 60% on 2-pointers per 36 minutes, yet there are people who say he looked terrible in preaseason. So to be average performance he had to log 30 pts and 18 rebs on 80% shooting? Only in that case, he would have earned 5-8 minutes per game.
