    Doubt that.

    On par with Dmo and certainly has nothing to supplant Dmo as the starter.

    Dmo is not better than Morris. Dude he only has the better post up game and that's it. Morris stats is 14/6 while Dmo 12/4. So how in the world is Dmo better?

    Your love affair with Dmo is so glaring. I'm glad you found your true love. LOL

    Dude on the kool they're in the same class.

    I think people fell in love with Dmo the moment he made those hook shots and moved very quick for a 7 footer....

    But there is and will be only one Hakeem and Dmo is not getting close. 
    That I can assure you.

    You just cannot clone a Top 5 player in Basketball history just like that.

    Don't get me wrong here, I like Dmo's post game. I am glad he stepped his game up. Hopefully he continues to improve in the areas he need work in. But man this joker Bobby always hyping him up like he's the next Bird or Dirk LOL. Dmo, Morris and Jones are all in the same class level right now. There isn't a lot of separation between them.

    SMH, DMo is better than Morris in almost every way......even when it comes to rebounding, by far DMo's greatest weakness, DMo is still better at it than Morris.

    Morris is a better FT shooter though.

    I really hope I don't have to spell this out further and you can figure it out for yourself.

    Negatron Bobby, That is a negative on your last brother. How is he a better rebounder when Morris averaged 2 more rebounds than him?

    Again Dmo post moves are better and that's it. Well maybe his passing but Morris like you said is the better ft shooter, and better mid-range shooter. He also finish around the rim STRONGER. Morris also scores 2 more points per game than Dmo. That is why I say they're in the same class level. Tier 3 at best.

    Dmo skill wise is better. Better 3 point shooter, better post game, better post and rim defender.

    Problem is consistency. Dmo flashes jaw dropping ability but what good is it if he disappears for games at a time?

    Okay...I guess I do have to spell it out.

    Look at rebounding percentages....tell me what you find.

    When you look at nothing but raw numbers, you can be led down the wrong path when there is a difference in minutes played and usage.

    DMo has a better post game, is a better defender, is a better 3 point shooter, is even a better rebounder than Morris.

    The ONLY thing Morris does better than DMo is shoot FT's.

    Honestly, there's not even a case for Morris over DMo, you might as well be suggesting C.J. Miles over James Harden.

    Lol then why does Markieff have a higher career rebounding, assist, steal and block %, higher per , while having a lower turnover %

    In no way, shape or form, is comparing DMo to Markieff, like comparing Harden to a bench player.

    The gap between Harden and Miles is a little larger than the gap between DMo and Miles.

    Harden= Superstar. Miles= scrub

    DMo= above average. Markieff= average

    Because he is refusing to play for the Suns simply because they traded his brother. Why would you want a guy like that on your team?

    D-Mo and TJ are about even. I give the edge to D-Mo. Both D-Mo and TJ are better than Josh Smith at this point in J Smoove's career, and with the rapid day-by-day improvement of D-Mo & TJ as they are so young and keep getting better.

    And both D-Mo and TJ are way better than Mook. Getting Markief is a backwards move. That's a Maurice Taylor move.

    And I'm just talking about skills alone. Then there is the head case thing. Assaulting people, demanding a trade just cuz yr wittle brudder got traded, flipping out on a head coach and having to be restrained. Dude is a hot mess and he sucks compared to what we got and he costs more.

    Roster Consistency is our superstar this year that everyone seems to keep forgetting.

    What is it with the Morris brothers thinking they are stars?

    They are very mediocre and rookies provide much better value

    I totally forgot Phoenix extended him and I don't think they can stretch his contract.

    I bet that they'll release him. In that case, we could probably bring him in on the vet minimum and waive Chuck Hayes.

    The Rockets have only 13 players under contract including Hayes (who I don't believe has officially signed). One of those spots would be reserved for Harrell assuming he's not traded ..... Still have one more open roster spot. No need to waive Hayes unless you think you need a player at another position.

    Still , even if PHX waives him , its highly unlikeky he ends up in Houston since all they could offer is a minimum deal and several other teams have $$$ to burn.

    Im not sure of his impact on the game but he never crossed me as a that good of a player.

    Maybe he thinks he's better than what he is because he sure has the attitude of a borderline star/all star.

    Before his nerve injury he was the better player, henceforth why he started the season prior and at the beginning of the season last year. What are you talking about?

    Dmo was/is a very inconsistent player and is highly overrated but that's not surprising. I love Dmos post game but he better get more consistency or he's in the same boat as TJones.

    There was even an article last season on TJones saying HOU has found it's third star and it was about Terrence. Dmo can only hope to play at a consistently high level that Jones once exhibited.

    I don't care which player steps forward and own the PF spot, black, white doesn't matter as long as they help us win the chip.

    Markieff has talent but he's inconsistent and a serious head case. He and his brother really need to grow up before they ruin their careers. Personally I'd stand pat with the guys we've got.
