Thats kinda interesting since minutes on the court decreased. What is your thoughts about the list? I guess the only reason coach should play DMo is to guard Durant (because of lenght). More: http://sportschatplace.com/lists/adam/2013/april/19/top-2/
My guess is that the rotation is not settled enough for this to happen. Looks like it's Smith, Jones and Asik being the main bigs now with some Delfino thrown in but if these guys struggles enough Motiejunas should get a chance.
The X-Factor will be Asik's scoring. If he able to catch and score, we will win. We need Asik to score at least 20 a night..
I could see DMo getting meaningful minutes in a scenario where we're down 3-0 or 3-1 in the series and nothing else has really seemed to work, specifically at the PF spot. At that point, you might as well throw him out there.
Not gonna happen. Dmo is terrible on the floor. Fell out of rotation. If anything TJones would be an xfactor to show us something special
I expect the Thunder will trap the PnR ball handler hard and have someone rotate to Asik. Asik needs to be able to swing the ball to the weakside in these situations. Asik needs to pass out of these situations and let his teammates do the scoring.
Love DMo, but he needs to get stronger. Would prefer he just do wall sits throughout the game rather than play. He will benefit greatly from an off season of bulking.
His ass should have been sent back down to the D league a long time ago since he forgot how to play basketball.
It may be a good idea to actually post him up once in while, when the offense gets "sticky." He is 3rd in the league in post-up PPP (1.05) on only 40 possessions, but still, it's more effective than the majority of the crap we saw Wednesday.
You do realise, that his ppg is 10,1 while playing 30 mpg this whole season? Do you guys think he scores 5 a game or what?
