    LOL, it's funny that you think Tim's b**** fit is relevant anywhere else. Anyway kiddo, how about you try and get back on topic, this thread is about DMo being recalled from the D league. I don't expect a lot from you so just try your best and it'll be okay.

    Well that might have been your best, but unsurprisingly you failed.

    They said something about wanting to stick to the schedule. Maybe they didn't want to push it.

    I will put him ignore, it just sucks people like him are able to continue their trollish ways.

    JB said the team didn't want to mess up his rehab process. He'll play 3-4 more games down in the D-League and be back.

    That is smart, if I were DMo's agent I would not let him play until after the trade deadline.

    He's still playing in the dleague though so I dunno why that' supposed to be different from playing in the NBA? In terms of physicality/contact though I would assume dleague is supposed to be more physical than the NBA because dleague has players desperate to go to the NBA, whereas in the NBA you have a lot of finesse guys like Blake Griffin or

    I guess nobody plays defense in dleague, so there's that? :confused:

    IMO those Dleaguers think playing Offense more than Defense will make them visible to the NBA teams.

    Yeah, to the last part. Absolutely NO defense. And they really don't play harder than in the NBA. Not even close. It's pretty much how random dudes play in the gym - run and shoot a three then let other team do that and wait for your turn.

    Im a Jones fan and would be sick to my stomach if we traded Jones. Jones is just not as good as I thought he would be. every since the nerve injury he jumps about as high as D Mo can. I hate to say this but I would probably keep D Mo over Jones as long as the back issue is only temporary.

    Fun story: I started thinking who will Jones sign with this summer and first thought - Minnesota. I went to check their lineup from yesterday's game, to see who plays PF for them. Seems kinda open spot. Then I saw they already have T. Jones on the roster :D It's a sign

    Well, is it really THAT different playing against the Suns and playing against D league opponents?
