Can we at least give him a spin? G Smith is hurt, Asik is pissed so there is no one after Dwight with size right now. Would it kill McHale just to see what he's got? So sad reading DMO's twitter - all he talks about is staying strong and getting a chance.
He started a few games last year and did well too. I don't see why he isn't playing this year. Has he gone backwards or something?
He looked good in the preseason. He is the best post up player on the team, I think he needs a chance to play just so we can have a different offensive look sometimes.
I don't think Asik out of the rotation is a permanent thing, so it's going to be hard to find mintues for DMo unless he replaces Jones or Casspi. I think Asik playing so little was due to playing such small teams combined with him being sick. I'd expect he'll climb back up to 15-20 mpg on average. ...DH, Jones, Parsons, Harden, Beverly plus Lin, Casspi, Asik, Garcia... Is already 9 players, tough enough to find minutes for all of them.
I wonder with Asik on the trade block if one of jones or dmo will get traded too. Most likely we'll get a pf back from a trade of Asik. Doesn't make sense to keep both jones and dmo when one is all you'll need as a backup. With jones starting now I wonder if he's being showcased for trade.
DMO is in a gray zone. Too good for the D-league, but not good enough for prime time. It's completely up to McHale.
+1 He told Morey I can't play with Dmo he will make me look bad and Shaq and Charles will say on TNT that he has better post moves than I do. Now can we have that Darryl?
