Well he's shooting 3's really well when it comes to percentage, but he makes less than one per game so it hasn't yet become something to make defenses worry....and he still is a layup missing machine. Add to it a lack of improvement defensively and people are upset about it. I mean, he just lost his starting job on a team that only has one healthy PF that isn't a rookie.
Yeah, it's kind of funny looking back on those who were especially short sighted when it came to DMo.
Very nice video! DMo has the foot work that it takes to get close to Dream's moves. DMo post game will be a welcomed site for the team. I can't wait to see DMo back on the court.
You know Bickerstaff is hoping for that, DMo missing the beginning of the season went a long way towards costing Kevin McHale his job.

The report is decidedly vague, with coach J.B. Bickerstaff not giving out any timetable, but simply noting that Motiejunas has been doing some 1-on-1 work as he continues to ramp up his activity in practice. Look for Motiejunas to return sometime in early December.
No it didn't. Stop making assumptions and posing them as facts. The team not playing up to expectation is the main reason why McHale got canned. Dmo playing would not have made a difference. Reason being 90% of the team was shooting terrible and the defense was atrocious. Your man crush is unreal.
This team made it to the wcf without DMo. He would help this year, but there are other problems besides just him being out #AgendaCrew
I surely hope Dmo lives up to all this hype he's getting on here. If he doesn't, it's going to be a lot of hurt feelings on this board. Dmo if you're reading this board, please do not disappoint your faithful fan base.
Lol, no pressure. He's being hyped up to be the next Olajuwon in this thread. Like with him, we're guaranteed to be top 2 or 1.
Yeah it really did. Having a legit post presence and more solid big man depth would have done wonders for this team. It wouldn't have made everything better, but having one fewer position that is a defensive liability would be nice. You throw DMo in the mix all season and the team wins more games, the team wins more games and McHale still has a job. Exactly, the team wouldn't have made the WCF without Josh Smith starting.
Sure, but that's a non DMo problem. They are different kinds of players. And anyways, having Josh this year wouldn't help this team much
Like Mr. Clutch said, it's deeper than Dmo's presence. The lack of leadership being the most glaring problem.
Having Smith absolutely would have helped, it would upgrade one of our weakest spots in the starting lineup and add big man depth. Last season we managed to go without Dwight (and Jones, not that it really mattered) because we had DMo and Smith. This season we can't go without DMo and Smith.
