    God, it's so good to see Dmo playing well and scoring for once.

    That Harden/DMo pick and pop was nice. Looks so damn easy

    So why was he averaging 4 minutes the last couple games?

    You're not wrong.

    They just need to give D-mo a chance to round into form by playing his way into shape with regular minutes. This teams highest ceiling unquestionably involves D-mo regaining his form from last year.

    If after a few weeks he isn't showing any improvement, we can always go back to the small ball lineup for the postseason.

    DMo has 18 points on 14 shots (50%). That time Beasley had 18 points on 19 shots (50%) clutchfans were going CRAZY like they were witnessing Jesus reincarnation

    They are lurking in the weeds stumped very low to the ground, waiting to jump on this thread, and say, " I told you so". hahahaha

    Welcome back DMo? Let's see if he can string a few of these together. He and Beas both playing well would be a HUGE spark.

    DMO looked the best I've seen since last season.

    Great spins and hit a 3PT.

    Thank you for correcting me. All of this time, I never realized Magic Johnson was a point guard. I honestly thought he was a linebacker or a shortstop. Thank you!

    Honestly, dude, look up the definition of "sarcasm". Holy cow!!!!

    Actually he didn't look any better tonight than he looked last couple games. Only difference he got minutes and shots tonight.

    and this injured Grizz team was the weakest team I have seen in a while

    I hope he can repeat it against better competition

    DMO had been more passive in previous games.

    Tonight, he was more aggressive and shot well... 0 TOs are nice too.

    He's a master of "keeping it real homie."

    Don't worry about him too much.

    Good game by D-Mo tonight. I'll echo sealclubber's comments above. JB needs to stop panicking and let both D-Mo and to a lesser extent Beasley get their minutes right now. His small ball crap is a known quantity already and he can revert to it whenever he needs to after a couple of weeks.

    Actually he looked pretty aggressive last game too, against much better competition; he had 4 points and a few rebounds in 4 minutes. Then JB rewarded him by benching him and he didn't play another minute in that game. Amazing.

    Yes I am unlike people such as yourself. And why are you jumping in our discussion. Mind your own business.

    Dude, your argument is circular. Minny also played Beasley out of position at 3 spot due to circumstance too. They had Love at the 4 spot. If anything is skewing the data it was Bradley's time with the Wolves.

    But I can only imagine how ludicrous this conversation would sound to the old time BB players who never pigeon holed themselves into these ridiculously simplistic terms. Power forward, small forward, point guard, shooting guard were essentially created for fans so they follow the game, or so the media believed.
