I don't follow the Rockets but I have noticed a huge dip in Dalembert's performance of late.

Any ideas on why Sam dropped from 9.5 rebounds a game in January to 5.5 rebounds a game in February? Dalembert had some great games early this season (including one against the Wizards), but since fell off.

What is going on with him?

combination of lack of playing time + lack of effort on Dalembert's part.

Mchale almost always sits him during 4th quarter in favor of Patterson at the 5. For some reason Coach Mchale loves him some small ball.

ya its playing time and no effort. january he was 10/10/2. then he plays like ****. its very irritating to watch him go downhill so fast. and he calls a players only meeting yesterday. w/e happened there, he better be getting earfuls about his bullcrap after january.

Also because of poor stamina I guess.He can only be aggressive per about 8 minutes.

are you guys planing to pick up his option for next year?

that depends on a lot of things
