What? Just saying that some of those turnovers are stupid passes on bad angles by Harden who is careless with the ball. Dmo has not been good, - he has a limited game - you have to get the ball to him where he can be successful. If you are a coach - you would know that. DD

That youtube video is funny. Anyone want to pull the interview that D-Mo did where he said "James is really fun to play with"? Plus the option to go to another team this Summer isn't his. Its Morey's with his ability to match which he probably wont, but he could.
Motiejunas is an enigmatic player. I don't feel like he gets enough minutes to where we've seen his baseline. Instead, we get about 5-10 minutes a game of a rollercoaster ride of epic post moves, hustle, nice passes, terrible passes, turnovers, and Yao-Ming-esque awkwardness.
The more I think about it, I don't think they freeze him out intentionally, they have many issues throwing the ball into the post or believe in the damn system of shooting a 3 at all costs.
Dunno, but that video shows it pretty clearly, maybe they don't trust him entirely. You can see who Harden favors, Terry, Bev, Beasley, Ariza - and some he really doesn't - DMo, Howard, Thornton to name a few. DD
Consistency and growth are both equally crucial for any player. If he's in the plans for the future, I hope he starts to show some steady progress. With Dwight likely gone, the paint will be open. It could be his for the taking.
If we had a coach he would have already taken it, and utilized DMo's inside out game - but we don't. And now the lane is clogged with a plodding Howard who Harden doesn't like and we are where we are.... DD
I'd like to see DMo grab another 13 rebounds tonight. Felt like more than anything, that was critical in the Rockets win over GSW. The 50/50 balls, scrap plays etc.
- scratch to your favorite sample ...and when he stands at the top of the key for a three, waving his arms like he just don't care; while the ball is pounded by Beverly, tell us what you think then, please now share.
He and Dwight did their part but the perimeter defense wasn't there. Nobody chased GSW off the 3pt line.
Do you think KD is a real possibility? Do you think this team will make adequate moves to vault into contender status next year? With Dwight likely gone, I would hope we would have a plan to either A) insert Horford or Whiteside or B) make our backcourt and small forward position so strong that we don't need to worry about much from the 5 and hope that DMO can continue his evolution into a great man defender a la Bogut.
He should strategic fall on parts of the course. Heck the Rox should have practice having Dmo fall on certain parts of the court and directing the Warriors to the wet spots. Dmo's asset is soaking wet.
