    Well, if this last game isn't a sign that DMo is on restricted minutes, not sure what is. B2B after his "best game" in over a month, he gets a DNP with Cousins out and NOLA only plays 8 guys, which they never do. More than any game, this game he should have played.

    I can't help but think he has stiffness issues and is asking the team to keep restricted minutes reasons private and out of the media. They sure kept Asik's illness private for awhile. It also explains all those pre-Cousins games where he'd get a run of 6-8 minutes to start the 2nd, then wouldn't return.

    I'd have to disagree with you good sir. There are 3 things we know are FACT
    1. Dmo's role has not changed
    2.Dmo is 100 percent healthy
    3. Dmo knows his rights

    Everything else is irrelevant

    The back is still bothering him with him still being able to play spare minutes.

    Pure conjecture, his minutes in NO have been all over the place.

    Let's try to avoid fake news here.

    Which is exactly what happens when you are on restricted minutes and have trouble loosening up when you get called.

    Why do you think he didn't play on the second of a B2B after his "good game", especially since Cousins didn't play?

    Because their coach has no clue how to manage a roster, and their org put 4 centers on their team. Probably a matchup issue.

    But that would be me, guessing like you are......waste of time..............

    This coming from the guy who speculated that DMo was being paid under the table by the league? And came up with conspiracy theories as to why DMo wasn't playing last year?

    Also pure conjecture - never claimed otherwise.

    Oh, and no conspiracy theories, Bickerstaff was a class A moron.

    Sure could have used 2015 DMo against GSW, watching them give up the drives and shots in the paint to guard the perimeter.

    But that would be me, guessing like you are about his ability to play like 2015 ...... waste of time ......

    Don't worry, no one took you seriously. We're fans, not news sources. We all deal in conjecture. It's just hypocritical to see you of all people decry it now. I thought you maybe had a convenient change of heart on the matter, but no, it's just okay for you to do it and not heypartner.

    Nah, heyP has the most likes.
    DD has a low post to like ratio. He's on the leaderboard for the likes, but you might say he's a volume chucker?

    That's right, it is ok for me and no one else.

    Get it? Got it? Good.

    ;)

    OK, that was funny.
