    When DMO comes back will Montrezl take most/all of TJones' minutes?

    Dwight/Capela/DMO/Jones
    DMO/Capela/Montrezl/Jones
    Ariza/McDaniels/Brewer
    Harden/Thornton/Jet
    Beverley/Lawson/Jet

    This is what I think the lineup should look like. Jones and Brewer should be marginalized. Lawson needs to get minutes whenever Harden sits.

    I mean running him out there 1 vs. 5 couldn't have worse results than what we are getting now.

    He needs to hang on the ****ing rim. How many times does he need to fall like that?

    Tale of conspiracy:
    DMo's carrier wining percentage 118/178 = .662%

    Since it converts to prediction of 40 W on left 61 games.
    And with 50 W Rox could be easily in middle of PO rotation

    Saw D-Mo and his girlfriend at Whole Foods on Waugh last night. His gf is pretty hot. Blonde, about 5'6" 120, shapely.

    So far he's the Zzzzz- factor.

    But the giant is going to wake up. :grin:

    Can't go crazy looking at advanced stats at someone playing less than 10 minutes a game, who probably should get D-league reps to get back into game shape, who's coming off a major back surgery.

    Give the guy some time.

    It's not just that. DMo seems bigger and slower. I don't like that.

    You mean compared to his FIBA days? You know that vid is from 2013 right? Also, his listed weight is only about 10 lbs. heavier than his draft weight.

    Give the guy some time to get his legs back.

    Definitely looked bigger, don't think he looked much slower, though. If anything I thought his footwork was the problem. Just needs to get back in his groove. He's been out of basketball for a while. It'll take some time.

    No. I mean't he looked bigger compared to last season. Considerably bigger. And seemed slower too. Last season he might have been the fastest 7footer in the league as far sprinting down the court. Now his speed is pretty normal for a 7footer.

    He's got to play himself into court shape ....physically AND mentally. The game is supposed to be too fast for him right now. It's a back injury for crying out loud. Just be patient...and DMo will come back stronger/better than ever. He needs to ease back onto it...gain confidence in that back..and get to where his body is on the same page as his mind.
