    If you're scared of the gators, don't go to the swamp.

    If he has a decent finish proves he is healthy someone will give him a go.

    Once again, he made all but one of his three point attempts.

    If you have a broken back, don't hire BJ as your agent.

    perhaps that lockeroom need some fire lighten up under its methaphorical ass... someone need to step up perhaps dmo was the only one not being on a loser team for a long time... on the other hand sometimes you need to do something anything even something stupid to break out from a slump...just take action! bold action...as per low numbers i need more context...is he missing shots or his teammates arent feeding him in the post..4 rbs is decent for 19 minutes

    He is making the cuts but the guards are ignoring it, and he is setting screens and moving the ball, physically he looks good, just on a bad team.

    i also think he would do much better in the familiar environment ie on rockets but it is what it is, he has all the basketball skills in the world but it takes more than basketball skills to suceed in nba and in life in general

    I agree, I think he totally screwed up by not signing the QO.

    He would be helping us a lot, and would be a valuable piece.......especially as Anderson has struggled so much.

    But, DMo made his own mind up and has to live with the results. It is nice to see that he was healthy all along though.

    He can't even beat out Terrence Jones. We can also say TJones would be a valuable piece, would be helping us a lot?

    And Anderson is not struggling. Look at his career. It's one thing to say we overpaid for his standard production, but it's another thing to say he's struggling. This is what he does every year. You could argue it's an up year for him, too. And Dekker is outplaying DMo as a backup right now, too.

    5pts in last 5 games ... 9 pts in the last 6 games. He can't be physically 100%. I think he's struggling from not being able to loosen up day-to-day,,,,stiffness.

    I guess you're doing the LOF thing and blaming his nonethingness production on coaches, system and Jrue Holiday and Anthony Davis (although TJones has no problems with it) versus he might not be 100%.

    The numbers are clear...the offense needs to run through DMo

    It's very clear that DMo wouldn't help us over what we have now. Montrezl and Nene have him beat. I wish him luck, think he got screwed by his agent, but I'm glad we didn't have to play $8 for an audition this year.

    He was supposed to be their X-factor.

    Don't say anything à la John Cusack outside his house, just crank up those speakers and listen. This will be a cathartic release:

    nene and harrell played awesome and having dmo instead of them wouldn't have made us better but having dmo in addition to them adding another dimension to offense and defense could have helped

    I agree, dmo would be our best post player if he were still here and healthy.
