Should the Rockets experiment playing through Dmo once he returns?

    They should. Use him like Yao and get the 3 point shooters easier shots.

    If by playing through DMo you mean him being the #1 option, hell f***in no...

    If by playing through DMo you mean inside-out basketball with post-ups when the offense gets stagnant and needs easy buckets, then sure.

    probably not. dmo is pretty good, but he's not yao kinda good. plus he'd be back from a major surgery.

    i'd be happy to see him start and just maintain last yr's level of play.

    McHale: D-Mo, out to the 3 point line!

    :grin:

    But really, he was hinting at needing or wanting a stretch four. "When we don't have a stretch 4, we gotta move the ball and attack."

    Plot twist: OP is lithuanian and DMo only fan.

    Who's Dmo? Does he play on the Rockets team?

    We need to be able to score inside. The jacking up 3s when up by 21 is ridiculous.

    Yes. It should free up Harden for more 3 point attempts.

    Do you guys think DMO will be a good fantasy pick up?

    When's he coming back?

    hahahaaha man can you at least wait until the man is back on the court first. And we never ran the offense through anyways. The offense goes through Harden.

    Good stash if you're in a deep league & can afford to wait.

    No he won't be a good pick. It'll take him time because he is a touch player. So he needs time to get his feel back.

    Plus Dwight isn't going to sit every night, and even with DMo back Harden isn't going to let DMo be the center of the offense.

    Don't do it. You'll turn into an agenda poster looking to get Dmo more touches.

    Most really bad posters here who yell for playing time for certain players (both in the GARM and Dish) are likely fantasy owners blaming their bad picks on NBA coaches.

    Y'all are nuts. You could do muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch worse than DMo in a 12-14 team league if he returns to similar production. He was a solid hold last season even after Dwight returned.

    He should get as many, if not more, post-ups than Howard.

    Howard turns it over too much.

    If our defense doesn't get turnovers and force bad shots from our opponents and we have to play half-court offense as a result of our defense not being able to get the job done then DMo should be touching the basketball more than anybody save Harden.
