    Those fts barely touched the net. DMo is feeling confident.

    The required once a day caution on D-Mo - the jury is still out. I will remove that caution if D-Mo makes it to Christmas playing like this.

    Does anybody think Dwight would have banged down both freebies at the end of regulation?

    Hell no..... But to be honest I really didn't think dmo would knock both down either lol. I can't think of a more well rounded group since the 09 team, their Not the most talented group although A very compelling case could surely be made for us with the young guys, but they play hard and play for each other. That 09 team had some injuries to big time players (Mac) and even artest missed some time I think, through it all that team went into the playoffs with chemistry just oozing and a superstar in Yao who had finally seemed to figure out he could be so much more (james harden)

    This team is very similar I can't wait for the playoffs this is our year to get a ring the tables set we just have to get the guys ready for a run cause heathy this team is as deep and potentially as talented as any team out west.

    DMo should get post touches even when Dwight gets back. Relegate Dwight to the PnR.

    D-Mo had yet another stellar game. Significant props to him.

    His boxouts for defensive rebounds were great too. I think we may have got like 5-6 extra rebounds because of him, although this type of thing doesn't show up in the boxscore.

    Dmo for President !!! Dude is killing it in almost every possible way the last 10 games. It's remarkable how crappy he looked when he wasn't getting many mins or when paired w/ Howard. Looks like a completely different player the last several games. This is all on Mchale, dude was holding him back if you ask me...

    DMo has evolved into our best post option. The Rockets really need to find him PT with Howard, who can exclusive work on the weakside trying to snap up rebounds. This team is totally unselfish. They play for each other, and they give it their all. I pray that the guys can get healthy. ASAP.

    McHale was just jealous that Dmo was going to surpass him. ;)

    The evolution of this guy is unreal... He's establishing himself as a legit starter quality player in this league. After the first few weeks of the season I was convinced that the one piece we needed was a legit 4 that could defend and shoot, hoping we would make a move for one. I think dmo is that guy.

    No excuse for us not to get him touches and continue to post up dwight to no end. For our best chances, Dwight needs to run the PnR and Dmo needs more touches in the post. Period. Lets see if Mchale can convince them whats the best for the team.

    opponents are having to resort to fronting with a helper leaning towards him, when dwight comes back, to do that would be near suicidal which opens up such huge potential.

    His post game is really amazing. Is a lesser Pau Gasol a fair comparison ?

    i really hope he works on getting his post position because so many times the guys were trying to get it in to the post, but he kept getting fronted

    but like Aleron said, having dwight/TJ could help big time

    That sounds like a tough sell to me. Dwight has an all star ego IMHO.
