    The real difference is dmo is finally catching the ball. Because he's expecting it. He's always been great at finding the soft spots in the defense.

    Dmo and Cannan getting extended minutes and larger roles really is helping them grow. I think we need another slasher and a veteran 4/5 and we are good to go! Harden's defense has been AMAZING

    What I am seeing is the coaching staff trying to keep D-Mo from getting fouls by putting him on PFs that he just smothers. Crunch time? D-Mo on Cousins. Life got awful difficult all of a sudden didn't it Boogie?

    Dmo needs to get post up. That needs to be a play when our offense goes limbo.

    Respect to the people that believed in Canaan. Still early, but I didn't think he'd be much more than a third-stringer. Didn't believe he could have nights like this.

    Nice Win!

    I heard Kevin Durant say to James Harden: "You the Real MVP"

    Nice steup by Canaan & D-Mo

    Never thought that Canaan and DMo would be leading us to victory.

    Mchale gets rare props from me this game, i did identify some good coaching decisions he is slightly better than last year or is it Dunn making him look good?? Still cant get past that Lakers game though.

    Best part about Dmo besides his outstanding team defense is his quick decision making on his passes. His basketball instincts are just superb.

    Only way Mchale doesn't start him once Tjones is back, is if he's worried the bench's defense will be pathetic with Jones.

    I think Mchale is the only person who didn't think Dmo would improve with playing time, most of the board was screaming this last year.

    IMHO there are 96 minutes available at the PF and C positions. My guess that Jones, Howard and D-Mo lock down almost all of them.

    Wait until DMO has another bad game.. some of you guys were saying how much of a putz he was just last game. I was screaming for him to get the ball on the block, at least to simulate Dwight's production, and some of you said it was a silly notion.

    You know, TJones is a better starter, but the defense is a LOT better with Dmo on the floor, he makes great rotations, and is finally learning to keep his hands straight up and by a 7 footer.

    "4 turnovers tonight. Ties franchise low."

    This team? That led the league in turnovers per game the past couple seasons? Nothing is predictable anymore...in a good way.

    this year people thought he was a bust.. Mchale was trying hard to make him into a stretch 4. It's amazing from what we have seen from him in the past on the block, Mchale hasn't tried to utilize him on the block more. Like Dwight and Dmo can't coexist when both are posting up...

    It took 2 front court injuries, and Mchale being forced to play DMO, to finally see him shine.. at least for a couple games.

    My personal guess is that D-Mo will be a stud starting center in the NBA after the summer of 2016. I have been saying that since watching Prokom games before D-Mos rookie season.

    3 straight for DMo, and Canaan has had the goods all year...

    Terry has played good for us, but it's clear he will get traded, he's hogging IC3 minutes as Bev returns.
