    I think whoever said replied questioning whether it was truly aimless was the only one.

    He is a chemistry killer and this team has no chemistry. Put him in!

    Seriously, if this team's offensive sets are YMCA baller moves then throw him in and watch him give us 15/7 for a few games.

    Maybe DMo should get some touches. Sometimes we need to change up the pace of the offense and be able to have a real post up game. Right now Howard isn't doing it, hopefully the team will get used to playing with him and we will be able to use him a little more in the post. Until then you have DMo's ability going to waste. He has a better post up game than Howard and should get at least some playing time to show what he can do. I hope Mchale doesn't plan on playing only eight players the rest of the season.

    How is he a chemistry killer?

    The only touches he'd get are off of penetration passes, putbacks and the very occasional faceup.

    This team is having chemistry problems because we have too many entitled guys. Jones may or may not be unselfish, but he at least has the talent to fill a role.

    Motiejunas is a pretty good passer. I believe he would create for Howard down low. Give him a chance to get in game rhythm and I believe you will see him hit his perimeter shots as well.

    D Mo is too soft. Very nice offensive game but I don't think he'll ever be able to hang in the NBA

    If nothing else, bring him off the bench behind Asik.

    D-Mo should start. His one-on-one defense has definitely improved since last year. Also he has a great post-up game which in time could start demanding double teams. In those moments he can easily find Dwight, since he has great passing ability. In possessions where he doesn't post up, he can spread the floor by going to the corner three, a spot where he's really decent.

    Starting D-Mo > Starting Casspi > Starting Jones > Starting Asik

    They are actually trying to see if DMo is worth Expendable in a package with Asik

    T-Jones so far looks like a great amazing playground player. However, the NBA...

    I don't question his ability. I question his NBA Bball IQ.

    then you question 70-80% of players in the NBA relying on athleticism.

    At the very least he showed his versatility by guarding Rudy Gay really well.
    if he shows this kind of activity level, it's hard to not give him some minutes in the future. :)
