yeah just before last night's game, everyone was screaming white, jones, and D-mo's name as if they were immediately NBA ready. Dissapointed in Morris's showing, but maybe he will play better in next game, or maybe he will go back to his old job of 12th man.
Given he was playing at a different position then what they claimed they wanted him to play when they drafted him plus he was fresh off an injury that side lined him throughout preseason and this was the first game he ever started or got major minutes in... yeah he did okay.
I'm not opposed to seeing Greg Smith start if able. Morris got his courtesy start for being less than a rookie, and actually did well on the boards, but Jones will be getting a chunck of those minutes tomorrow.
Greg Smith earned his spot at back-up C, hope he comes back healthy. T Jones needs minutes, he can spread the floor just as well as Morris and he's a better defender/rebounder.
I doubt that McHale would start Jones. He didn't give Jones any time at all the first game. Probably the best we can hope for is Jones getting some minutes off the bench.
Our post positions, while relatively better than last year are still horrible. Outside of Asik and Jones, nobody else can rebound.
I guess McFail doesn't like playing rookies based on what i seen last night. He didn't play any, let me repeat ANY ROOKIE that we deem worthy of playing time. You have Machado, White, Motiejo, Jones. Out of these 4 players, Jones is the outstanding one and even better than Morris. He's a better shooter...what the hell is Jason Friedman talking about, Jones can shoot from 3 point land too. He's a lethal shooter!! Not only that, he's hell of a player when it comes to attacking the basket, rebounding and blocking shot. That's why i was surprised that Morris starting....by the way, what is so good about Morris? Oh, because he's a veteran and knows the game? LOL. Well, Jones didn't show me that he was lacking knowledge about the game while he's playing. The fact that McFail didn't even give the best rookie out of the bunch ONE STINKING MINUTE tells me he does not like ROOKIE. There is a reason the Rockets fell behind when Jeremy Lin sat, it's because the coach is playing garbage players rather than those that deem worthy of minutes or worthy of potential. They need to get rid of Douglas and Morris and if McFail have any clue, he needs to start Machado as the backup point guard and definitely Jones. Hell, i even think Jones eventually will replace Pattrick Patterson..that's how good he is. That why i was surprised he didn't even get a stinky minute. I bet you if this team is composed more of a bunch of garbage players that have been in this league for more than a year, McFail will put them all out there instead of the rookies lol. We were lucky we got a win against a weak Detroit team. If McFail does the same substitution pattern for the next game, we're toasted...i swear.
Yeah. That's why he didn't make Chandler Parsons a starter for almost his entire rookie year. McHale hates rookies.
Hope Patterson plays. I thought he played really well just before he got injured. He just need to be aggressive the whole game.
This sort of sarcasm doesn't show well on the internet For others that didn't pickup on this sarcasm Chandler started 58 games in a shortened season
