I just wanted to make this because of how deke is just owning it up out there. Everyone can tell that deke is leaving it all out there on the floor, 14 rebounds already, and literally scaring anyone on the warriors from driving to the basket, including that punk randolph. Heres to deke!
Yeah Deke needs to get more playing time. I dont understand why Adelman does not let Deke play more. Look at the defensive change he brings. Its astonishing...
People in general and posters on here in particular have been saying he's over the hill for a while now, but Deke continues to prove them wrong season after season. He's still one of the best shot blockers and rebounders in the league at the center position. The intimidation factor and the deadliness of the elbows can't be underestimated either. I'm sure none of the players from Golden State were in the league when Mutombo was in his prime, but they all watched basketball and they know who he is. He can still bring it and he should play at least 15 mpg in the playoffs and more depending on the matchup. It would help reduce Yao's mpg too. I would not be oppossed to him playing for Houston again next season if he actually plays unless the Rockets actually bring in a legit, young, athletic backup with size at the center position. Chandler, Dampier, Nene, K-Mart, Bynum, Gasol, Oden, and Pryzbilla better all watch out for Mt. Mutombo in the playoffs!
Not many teams can afford to not play a guy who can come in and get 10pts 15rebs. Also, with Deke playing i think we get to see just how good Scola is. He is really this good. If he wasn't on a team that had Yao as the focused he could definitely be an all star.
Its great to know he can still produce if hes called on in the playoffs. I saw enough tonight to believe he will still be effective in this role next year if he wants to come back.
hopefully he gets playing time in the playoffs. He's come up huge lately. I liked the intensity who showed tonight against Randolph.
If RA plays him during that stretch against Utah, SA, etc. about a month ago, this 'fight' for #2 wouldn't be a fight. He shouldve been playing a long time ago. All the reasoning of him not being fast enough or not having the paint presence he once had is crap. just saying...
Who got a Mutombo-ner watching Dikembe school the youths? People in Golden State still begging to be sexed by Uncle Deke
He had a great game tonight, I mean a double double after sitting out on the bench as he has for most of the season? Not to mention his age... this man is still a great talent.
Uncle Mutombo to the rescue. I really dont understand why RA doesnt give him more PT. He would be an asset in the playoffs. I would rather see Deke than Chuck unless we were facing a quick athletic center/pf. Atleast Deke can provide some offense too.
Absolutely astonishing, great effort. Nice to see the match up between the oldest player against the youngest.
