    According to this genius everybody plays horribly except Dmo, who despite his lack of scoring, rebounding and rim orotection, plays great.

    He's the best team defender we have coachbadlee. He's the only reason why our defense has been better lately. Not Dwight, Harden Beverley or Ariza. Only Dmo in his limited minutes played.

    Lol

    DMo is heart of this team fast decisions, passing and moving the ball. Since DMo cant guard Green(73 teams, struggle this season) we put "defensive" with Brewer, instead of "offensive" with DMo -absurd.

    Game sucked Remember the Clippers blew us out by almost 30at least twice last year.

    From my eye test though, DMo was one of our only good players. I saw him score on Green a couple of times, and I saw them double DMo a couple of times. Maybe what wekko was saying is not that absurd. What is absurd is starting Brewer - that is undeniable.

    I loved his resolve to not back down on Green. He needed to feel playoff atmosphere for once. He attacked well, except the one strip.

    Down side: Green did drive by him at will two possessions in a row to start the matchup. Before Green came back out, got lost on Speights once; helped on the wrong guy for a backdoor layup on another. All that happened before Green's tech got him mad.

    Overall, I'm happy with his first playoff minutes ever. Got his juices flowing for sure. Playing GSW/Green is a tough task for anyone.

    Dmo vs green is a match up we can use to our advantage. It was the only match up out side of Harden that got a double team.

    The only way we win this series is with Dwight pin downs and Dmo post ups.

    I was really impressed with DMo's attitude in this game. JBB gave him a raw deal in not starting even though we won our last 3 games with him starting.

    Instead of sulking like other players would, he went all out full intensity and frustrated Green.

    Absolutely deserves to start in Game 2

    Htownballer38 again proving why he's not very knowledgable about basketball.

    Not surprising.

    Lol completely agreed . Which is why it's going to be hillarious when Brewer starts again . This time the game might be a bit closer if harden and Howard have better games . Dmo prolly won't sniff the floor .

    Well, it doesn't really surprise me that you'd watch the game over again and still fail to see what was obvious.

    I mean, even national guys comment on Beasley's garbage defense. I see it, they can see it, why can't you?

    You guys thought I was crazy when I said DMo would lose minute and the starting spot to Brewer. I guess we all underestimate the ignorance of this coaching staff.

    Dmo took a dump on John Brewer in the 4th. Making him look so stupid. Again.

    Now I will agree with you on this one Bobby. That dude needs to be fired ASAP.

    DMo should be starting, we should be going BIG against their small ball lineup - I swear Morey's inability to understand the quality of coaching is a major problem.

    Under Morey we have gone from 2 great coaches in JVG, and Adelman to two horrible coaches in McHale and now JBB - you want to know why this team sucks.....it is right there...Morey has made terrible decisions on coaching - and roster movement this is his mess 100%.
