    DMO being out also screws up the ball movement.

    Anyway, we still have a solid, solid 8 man rotation

    JET / Prigs
    Harden / Brew
    Ariza / Brew
    TJ / SMith
    Howard

    It's because Bill took away his Kit Kats... give him all the damn Kit Kats his body needs!

    He was one of 3 guys I was hoping would have an outstanding playoff run, especially as redemption for not even playing last year's series

    Don't take sports so seriously? Geez, it's one thing to be upset, but when you get to the point you are, it's best to just stop being a sports fan. It's just not worth it at that point.

    Have you watched the Rockets this season? D-Mo has been a huge part of our success. You can't win a title without a postup threat and we no longer have a reliable one(and no, Dwight, T-Jones, and Smith don't qualify).

    And before anyone mentions the Warriors and how they don't have any guys who post up, they've also got tons of players who can create their own shots and knock down jumpers from all over the court.

    We can win a playoff series without D-Mo. Maybe even 2 if we get favorable matchups and Dwight can regain his form from last season(he did show signs against OKC). But this injury probably killed our title hopes unless Harden puts together a playoff run for the ages.

    We'll have to hope Papa can pick up some slack at PF while Jones and Smith soak up the extra minutes at C.*

    *This was my attempt at a logical response as I scream and cry internally.

    Bro you dont understand, some of us are just hardcore fans that way. I didnt LITERALLY mean what i said but it still hurts.

    Dmo makes this team better, no one can fill that hole unless Tjones/Smith take up 100000 levels

    DMO was making some crazy percentage from the post with his hook shots. Dwight was fine with DMO taking all the post shots now too. If DMO was missing Dwight was there to clean it up. Even worse, DMO was shooting the 3 like a BOSS. 40% since all-star break.. this is bad..

    Just like when BEV went down DMO isn't the one who will carry us to the promised land. It's Dwight and Harden, just tougher now.

    Gutted...

    We never had Jones-Dmo-Smith-Dwight together at any point. What a waste. Coincidence sucks.

    Tjones and Smoove are gonna have to step up big time. Hopefully Kpap hits his 3s.

    While this depresses me I really don't know how valuable DMo is in the playoffs. If he's not scoring then he's kind of a liability since he can't rebound, but then Dwight is back too, and... ah ****. I wish I was dead.

    And moves the ball. The most underrated aspect of DMO's game was his ability to keep the offense moving.
