Another reason why KJ should be in... he's a good rebounder for his position. KJ//Bev/Terry Harden/KJ/Terry Ariza/KJ/Beasley DMo/Smith/Beasley Howard/Capela/DMo Bev definitely isn't tall enough to guard Livingston who pretty much just shot over him.
You're bragging about 3 total rebounds for a damn 7 footer. Again great job analyzing the game in another foreign atmosphere. Because overall Dmo did not have a good game.
He's not bragging . He's providing you with statistics that contradict your claim about the other " better rebounding" options on the team . Dmo didn't have a great game . He played fairly well and given that he only got 15 minutes and didn't play at all the prior game I'd say he will continue to adjust his game to the playoffs. Continuing to give Dmo minutes and hoping he better adjust to playoff basketball and last years form is one of our best hopes for competing in this series. That and James adjusting a bit as well . There's almost no point in arguing with anyone here , because no matter what I say , almost nobody will change their mind . In everyone's head they are the best bball coach on the planet and know all the right moves .... Oh and be GM . If people really can't see that Dmo does a whole lot for this team , even when he struggles from the field , then I just don't know what to say . The truth is most people don't understand stats / analytics and the X's and O's of basketball . I'll admit I don't know much about X's and O's . But I can watch the game and compare how the ball moves when a certain player is on the floor vs off.
To be fair, DMo was one of two major reasons why we did so well in the regular season with Dwight down more than half of the times.
3 rebounds is nothing to talk about. Hit me up when he grabs 15-20 rebounds. And what, man please Dmo is not helping us win RIGHT NOW. The ball moves pretty good with Josh to but it's not winning us a freaking game. X's and O's. Look at Golden State for a better example of that big timer.
I do not want to go against Harden again but yup his game is the opposite of Motiejunas' game He just cannot move without the ball that fast and he does not pass the ball automatically to the next player, no ball movement. It sticks in his hands most of the time so Dmo's effort is wasted at times. Motiejunas isn't going to be fully used on this Harden led Rockets. Dwight tells you the story. Dwight isn't that bad, he just isn't much utilized. Folks like DD and others should deal with it. It is either Moti to a more team orientated team or rooting for Harden ISOs.
That's getting so old. I guess I'm referring to these hopes for him to be an offensive force who impacts the game. They featured him early, and it didn't work out. Even last year when he was one of the most efficient post up guys, it felt like the volume was too low to really matter. I don't think he has ever even had one 30 point game. Garbagemen who can't create their own shot luck into a 30 point game. People label him as a role player now. But I see a guy who can create his own shot and pass out of a double team and I think he should be more of a weapon. But that is in theory. In reality, that never happens. And unlike most people, I believe our players want to win and would pass him the ball in the post if they thought he would deliver. Well, he was passed to yesterday, and he didn't convince anyone
The part that some people don't see is that he's helping the offense even when he's not scoring himself. Ball movement on and off ball is better when he's on the court. That alone helps the offense tremendously....it's just not as easy to see. He needs to be hitting his post shots better, but the idea that he's not helping the team when he's not scoring is pretty short sighted IMO.
It might be time to dust off TJones - he is a more mobile option might match up better with Green. DD
Unlikely he's in game shape. But really, it doesn't matter either way. We're done. Play Jason Terry at PF for the LOLs. Have Dwight play PG. Isolation plays for Ariza and Brewer. To quote our GM, "increase the variance"!
And dude we got out rebounded during those 1st 2 minutes. Golden States had 6 freaking offensive rebounds. So please explain to me how they were better with DMo out there.?
Josh Smith was our savior last year, now he is worse somehow..... We needed the Josh Smith of last year
