Dmo has proven he can score at will on Draymond. Why not go to him in the post more?

    Especially when you can't buy a bucket from 3.

    I wouldn't say "at will", but I think they should have tried it more. That said, you have to have players capable of passing the ball to the post, I'm not sure they do.

    Because Rockets a bunch of p*****s. JB is a crappy coach. You even heard Mark Jackson on broadcast saying they should post Dmo on Green.

    They didn't even go to DMO when Barnes was on him.

    Or they give it to him with 6 seconds left on shot clock at the top of the key and he has to force a shot which is not his strength.

    While the passes have been poor, he also needs to get better at making himself a better target. He needs to really seal off his man, establish position, and show his hands.

    WHEN he gets it, he's good. But there are as many occasions where he's had flimsy position as there are where the passes don't come.

    There's been many time he has good position but Ariza or Harden, swing it around to Bev for a contested 3 that he misses of course.

    They haven't been able to effectively pass into the post in the three years that Dwight has been here, what makes anyone think they can suddenly do it for DMo?

    Wait, when did this 'scoring at will' happen? What is wrong with you people?

    He can score on him easily on the post. Think I've only seen him miss twice while Green guarding him in the post this series.

    Green has gotten in DMo's head... He isnt patient on the block and is rushing shots a lot more than before.

    While DMo has had some success, I dont think he has "scored" at will against a top flight all around defender (their heart and soul of their defense)

    There was no chance to. The 3rd quarter collapse meant the scheme of things change, Thompson and Green were on a hot streak from 3 and couldn't miss. Then some other Warriors joined in. They were doing in the half court as well as getting defensive and offensive rebounds and scoring on transition. JBB panicked and Harden and Beasley started jacking up non-sense and nobody else could hit.

    Dmo scoring a few times in the post doesn't make up for the points he gives up defensively & on the offensive boards.

    DMo is only behind Dwight Howard on the team in offensive rebounds in the playoffs despite not playing game 1. He's also by far the best defensive PF on the roster.

    I mean, criticism is fine, but try to stay in touch with reality.
