DMo has been grinding all year, he is tired, and needs to break through that wall. TJo just got healthy and has barely played this year, so he is probably feeling a lot fresher. We are LUCKY to have them both. DD
If DMo is tired then for the love of God REST HIM! Having DMo on the floor right now is a liability, but we all know what he can be. Just give him a week off or something,
this It's like when both Brooks and Lowry were here together, no need to take sides, both players are needed on this team
T jones is the truth. Push come shove, I'm keeping Jones over D-mo this offseason. DMo's incompetent defensively
Making the big guy shoot a fadeaway from 15' on the baseline? Sux that hw hit a tough one, but that is life.
Have to agree with DD. Moti's stats looked tired as well. We need him to be in his best condition and at his best in the playoffs
Lol if you want to see Dorsey for 30+ minutes. Coaching staff got no choice. Or play inexperienced Capela?
Unfortunately you just can't give DMo a rest right now. He only played 19 min tonight, he struggled straight up. Maybe we can limit his minutes a bit but we need his scoring inside. When Dwight gets back everyone's minutes will go down a bit.
People, stop making excuses for DMo. Noone has played more than Ariza yet everyone says how trashy he is. By in fact, he needs rest from over expending himself but he still needs to contribute. People say Beverly is garbage, yet there's threads berating and racially insulting him, smh pea brains. I like DMo, but I call it down the middle. He's still inconsistent and hasn't developed and matured as a player and man. He's a bit of a knucklehead and like Dwight, they leave some to be desired. Tired or not you're a professional and you need to step up or step down and let the big boys do their thing. TJones over Dmo everyday, he's the rock of the frontcourt. JH
I agree with this. Tjones is quickly proving he is going to be able to hold his own against the powerful bigmen of the west. I love Dmo and what he's done so far this season but until he can bang with the big guys, he's better suited off the bench. It's a good thing we have both right now.
This versus stuff is nonsense. With the way Dwight has been trending these guys may very well be our front court of the all too near future. DMO has definitely hit a wall and he just needs to break through. To say he's defensively incompetent though is a stretch. The guy still plays great positional defense. He's just never played this many minutes before and he appears to be running on fumes. You can see it in his body language. DMO still needs to put even more weight on his frame to hang with the big boys but he's done pretty well this season all things considered. Jones and DMO look great together. When they both get going they're going to be a force to be reckoned with.
Both DMO and TJs growth this season has made this team dramatically better than last year. If Howard can come back halfway healthy they could make some noise in the playoffs for sure.
