    Healthy Dmo in a contract year, I'll take it. This is the last hope we have to turn this season around.

    Great news! After he starts full practice when should we be expecting him to play limited minutes in a game?

    Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for his return.

    I know he'll need a few weeks to get back into game shape, but I am praying for a miracle for him to play on Friday in Dallas. I'll be at that game.

    My cousin bailed on me for the game, might trade in my two tickets and get 1 good one. Is it lame to go to games alone? lol -- don't even care.

    Maybe if we play inside out a few threes will fall.

    DMO's Return

    Great news! Hopefully this allows TJones' minutes to be further reduced.

    How long before Harden infects him?

    over/under - 6 games


    Seriously though, glad he's back
    1) more minutes for him, less for Jones
    2) maybe our best 3PT shooter
    3) our only effective low post player

    I think this is more important than most people think. Having a legit inside threat really helps give spot up shooters that tiny bit of extra time to shoot. That can make ALL the difference in the world. You think Mario, Kenny, Sam, or Vernon would have maintained whatever their shooting percentage was if Hakeem had the inside game of D12?

    I am not getting my hopes to high on the return of DMO making a difference. But if he can return to a legit scoring option down low it could make things interesting.
