    DMo has been playing well, gotta give him props. I was really down on this guy as it seemed like he would always screw up when he got on the floor but I'm happy that he's proving me wrong. :)

    Just gotta cut down on those silly fouls he commits sometimes.

    And that new haircut is pretty slick haha.

    Like a broken record, but I still wanna see him in the post, it's a valuable offensive weapon we aren't using.

    I was stoked when we got him, was always a fan. I found I've been rooting for him to succeed more than anybody since Yao, like I've made a personal investment, so I'm glad to see him getting his chance and performing.

    That's funny. When he went to get the ball, I was like WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING?

    That said, that play was really dumb. How did you not use DMo to set screen for the guards and let him stay so close to the inbounder?

    Should have thrown it over the top to LIn in the backcourt he was open and could have wasted time.

    Pumped to see McHale use him in crunch time.

    If anyone has a picture of DMo's eagle tattoo please post it, no homo.

    forget the clutch FTs he hit - I was squarely impressed on his defense on the last play closing out on Frye and then Morris on the perimeter.

    DMo has become the best perimeter defending big on the team. His interior defense needs a lot of work but he has come a real long way from the beginning of the season - he is finding his niche on the team and is starting to produce more consistently.

    Props to him

    He still tries to hard and races too much. He needs to learn to pick and choose his moments more. But he has a great motor so he can get away with running non stop more than any other big.

    If he keeps getting playing time he will get that rhythm that takes him to another level.

    DMo seems like a cool guy. Does anyone know if he is the type of guy that is cool with fans and sign autographs or hang out in my van?

    As of the last 15 games or so, the team is a lot better with DMo on the court than they are with Jones on the court, IMO it's only a matter of time until DMo gets the starting job back unless Jones steps his game up.

    DMo is trying to rid his Euro image.

    I track D-Mo defensively during games. While the tag-tag defensive system means he has to guard players who are not his main match up, he always is aware of where his primary cover is on the court. Just watch him. Every second he is checking out where his cover is on the court and waiting for the switch so he can get back. Impressive. There is the making of a very very good team defender.

    I guess Mchale wanted to play small. Dmo played good while he was in the game.
