So after last nights drubbing I took to the computer and did hours of statistical analysis. Then I plugged those stats into advanced mathematical formulas and finally came up with this intriguing result: Spoiler
we have a lot of problems all over the place from the coach's inability to make in-game adjustments (other than going smallball) to shocking lack of depth at every position to flawed superstars who cannot make shots between 23 and 5 feet from the rim. but yeah, dmo has no business playing in this league and needs to be gone. nice guy, but he really is hopeless.
I know , its unfortunate that a promising player like D-mo gets so much flak. I mean we are 9-2 is a whipping boy really needed at this point . Its even funnier when the said target really had minimal negative impact of the game.
man i was hoping we'd nab speights the past few years. unfortunately he doesn't fit in w/ morey's 3pt shooting offense.
Go re-watch the first 5-10 minutes of the game. Every time he touched the ball he turned it over or killed the movement. His suck factor was too much for the other starting 4 to make up for, and the deficit the starters created was too much for the bench to make up for.... Who knows how this game would have gone if we could have made one or two more baskets or one or two less turnovers in the opening minutes.
I find myself forgetting he's 7 foot sometimes. Because he just doesn't play like a big man. Dude is soft as ****.
Even more so than how D Mo is not playing particularly well, the real problem with this team is that he, even playing badly, is still our best option at the PF while Jones is out. That is sad.
i think his detractors would be able to stomach his minutes on the court a lot easier if he would just stop shooting 3's. better yet, stop standing on the perimeter at all and instead cut thru the lane or weave from sideline to sideline. anything beats watching him clank 7 out of 8 per week from behind the arc…ughh
The only differences between D-Mo and Thabet are : - one is a top 3 bust and the other is a mid round scrub. - one does not know how to shoot and the other also does not know how to shoot but likes to shoot.
Go back to Lithuania DOF. We don't need any more player only fans here. No polish. No skill. He plays like a scrub picked up off the streets. His only redeeming quality is his hustle and we can get that from anyone we pick up that is desperate to get into the NBA.
He is active, very active. I would be optimistic if this were his first year but its not and I do not see any development out of him.
