    Love me some Donuts!!!

    Question:

    Was Dmo present at ANY of our playoff games against the Mavs? I saw Wolverine at most if not all of our home games, BUT I didn't see Dmo at all! What gives? I hope he makes a cameo for our next round of the playoffs, it just doesn't seem right that he's not there supporting the group and seeing this to the very end. (parade on main st.)

    That's another great reason for holding onto DMo. He's a very disciplined defender that knows where to be and what to do....as opposed to TJones who is more athletically gifted but can get lost from time to time.

    His defense will shine if he's put next to a rim protector, ie Dwight or Capela, and he can slide into center playing with Josh. I'm convinced that Dwight will not play 60+ games in any season going forward, so we need plenty of big depth.

    I really miss dmo, having him back in the starting lineup next year for a full season next to dwight will be great

    I read somewhere he just returned to the team today, he was still recovering from the surgery. It said he will be on the sidelines now

    I didn't realize that he already had surgery. Let's hope for a complete and speedy recovery.

    I hear you, guys have stepped up but it's crazy we never had dwight dmo josh and jones play together. And now we have Capela. The foundation is strong now and into the future

    I like how we develop our players in htown. You get to watch these young guys grow mature and add things to their arsenal year after year. Post moves, passing, and three point shooting has reached another level and been our go to guy in the post. Will be amazing to watch all these guys play next year too... no matter what happens these playoffs.

    Barring injury, DMO will be considered a star in the league, he reminds me a lot of Pau Gasol, just straight up solid in all aspects from defense, rebounding, passing and then elite in the post. I guess it's too much to expect him to be considered one of the best like Pau, but a 2nd tier big man like LMA, Bynum or Bogut status is definitely attainable.

    Really unfortuante that D-Mo went down, his defense would have been huge at the 4, ans spot minutes at the 5 instead of the still raw Capela.

    Even though he won't contribute in the postseason his play in the regular season was huge. We stayed afloat and allowed Dwight to rest properly. If he didn't step up this team probably would have fallen to the 6th or 7th seed and had an extremely tough match up in round 1.

    According to the procedure he had done, he should be almost ready to if not already rehabilitating at the moment.

    I wonder if this had anything to do with his back trouble?
