Dmo could have done this against Portland if Mchail would have got his head out of his ass. Dmo is a skilled Basketball player and needs 30 minutes a game. Ever one who wanted the draft pick over DMO can suck it.
It sure wasn't a perfect game by DMo. He was blown by a few times on defense, but overall he had great impact on this win. And his effort is something that a lot of the Rockets players are missing.
Most definitely. Every last one of them that played had their share of hiccups. But you are right, wasn't perfect but his energy, active hands helps us win this game. Great job Dmo
I didn't see him get destroyed. I didn't see Speights destroy anyone in particular. He just hits open shots. As a product of their offense. It's an issue of Rockets bad team defense. If anything I think this series might help keep DMo on this team going forward. They obviously need to improve the position but DMo I think makes sense as part of a legit 4 man big rotation. Also DMo has skills that you'd think better coaching can exploit.
DMo got blown by twice by Green, other than that, he didn't get "destroyed". If anything, he won his matchup despite missing a bunch of shots he should have made.
DMo's post game is rusty as hell. He looks like what he was 2 years ago when he rushed every shot. He needs to calm down and get the confidence back. But he's one of few guys who actually look like they care.
I dunno man, his three was huge, but struggling to pass the ball 2 feet (twice) may cost him some change? He looked pretty ordinary all game, but never stopped trying. Some are at pains to point out that he is a bad rebounder, but he hustled his butt off tonight on that front. All in all, had some good stuff, had some horrible stuff - hopefully the 3 at the end gives him a confidence hit, and he rolls up his sleeves for his best performance of the season next outing!
Agreed. His confidence would've been given a huge boost if JB the clueless idiot would've played him heavy minutes to get into shape and get some rhythm back against some bad teams we played straight after the voided trade. Keeping him on the bench did nothing but hurt this team. He is fading on too many shots on the paint right now, his moves are still there to get the open shot - it's just his final bit of execution which is missing. I will be livid if he is not on the team next year. He is instrumental to our offense with his high IQ and ball movement. I can only pray we get a coach who can understand putting D-Mo in the post can reap rewards.
Dmo best game all season. 13 rebounds is huge for him ( is it a career high?) He also had so tipped rebounds that went to other players. His defense was pretty good besides a few but that's always going to be greens advantage becsuse he's really a SF who can play PF. If dmo can rebound like this and I mean the effort and hustle obviously he's not getting 13 rebounds every night that he can be a legit Pf in this league. His offense will come back as he gains his legs and rythem but man I never seen him go after it on the boards like this ever. Loves what I saw and if he can keep it up for the rest of the series he's def a player worth keeping. Guys like him are perfect and what you need if your going for a big 3 as it seems like the rockets are this offseason. His ball movement was great and really so was the teams in the 1st half. They need to continue that. The team can be pretty damn good and maybe even elite if you just subbed Ariza out for durant. Think of all this missed 3s bad passes and terrible drives to the hoop that ariza does every game. Durant would make damn near all of them and do so much more.
Apologies to D-Mo. It a pears he had a very solid game. Couldn't watch the whole game, but follow the 4th quarter when all of our players were way off, except for Harden.
Apologies to D-Mo -- he had a solid game. Coming back from back surgery, we shouldn't expect much more from him. Players typically take a whole season just to return to form, so absent further injuries, next year should a good year for him.
I wonder if it would be good or bad if DMo plays for his National team, obviously he would play there heavy minutes, so he would come back in good form again, but other note his back injury, maybe it would be better if he took a summer off after playoffs..
And obviously it would be good if he comes back as rocket.. but there are some talk Lakers are going to try to get him.
