    I think DMo could be the perfect front court mate for Capela. DMo is an outstanding post defender which should leave Capela free to block shots with out leaving the paint unprotected. DMo's ability to stretch the floor leaves good spacing on offense when Capela is in the paint. When DMo is working over his defender in the post Capela should be free for the occasional put back or offensive board. I'm excited to see DMo's return and how he fits in.

    Not only is DMos work ethic better than Curry and Lebrons, he's also just a flat out better player. Neither of them are 7 ft tall.

    He seems to have the best work ethic and dedication on the team - at least it looks that way from a distance.

    bwhahahaahaha you got to smoking that good stuff early this morning. Dmo is nowhere near Curry and Lebron. Those are two superstars and Dmo is just a role player.

    If DMo comes back healthy, could see Rockets letting Dwight and Tjones walk and resigning DMo to play C while trying to add horford and durant

    I forgot what this team looks like with DMO on the floor. It's been so long.

    Dude is trying to come back from back surgery and now you want him banging down low in the post?

    I said "healthy" first off...and are you telling me the best post up player on the team is not going to be posting up because of the fear of re-injuring himself?? :rolleyes: You know he was the best back to the basket player in the league statistically speaking last year lol

    It's funny how one guy could have an enormous impact on this team not named Dwight or Harden.

    Our second unit has no scoring. If Ty can start getting by to the old Ty, and add D-mo's post moves and playing the stretch four, that could be a huge lift off the bench.

    I also wouldn't mind seeing D-Mo play with Harden. A big problem is the fact that with out a reliable shooting four, there will always be two people waiting for Harden down low. D-Mo could easily change that.

    I just hope he comes back healthy and playing the way he's capable of.

    when DMo returns does that mean we play 10 guys? 11?

    Bev/Harden/Ariza/Jones/D12

    Lawson/Thornton/Brewer/DMo/Capela

    Still have Jet and Harrell

    Maybe DMo is not an allstar but we hurt ever since we lost him, we need him back.

    I'm not sure how it's going to work out. But it can be done, for example Boston played what seems like everybody on their team they are so deep!

    THIS. Spot on brother. Those proven MVP award winners and NBA champions got nothing on the mighty 7 foot DMO, their games are flat out garbage compared to his. You my friend are a very objective fan and know your basketball. I will consider throwing some repp your way LOL. :rolleyes:

    DMo has really been working on that three ball in practice. He posts pictures of his shot charts all the time. I reaaaaaally think he could shoot 38-42% from 3 this year. Would help so much.
