    Except maybe when Dwight goes Superman and rises up damn high I wonder if he's ever coming down. Except then.

    Could anyone have guessed, even as recent as the beginning of this season, that Motiejunas would be holding down the 5 spot like a boss?

    Is DMo going to be the first player we groomed and sign for the long term in this new era?

    I still doubt it...think he'll be packaged in a deal. I say we shouldn't, he finally developed great chemistry with this squad.

    I love dmo but I bet Morey could get a nice valuable asset for him in a trade.

    Besides, tjones is the better player and better fit next to howard.

    Dmo (assuming he continues like this) is the better player.

    I couldn't disagree more with the first half of your statement. DMo is a much better defender than Jones. One could argue that he'd be better off in a 6th man role but otherwise I'm sure most teams would prefer him to Jones.

    D-Mo is a skilled 7 footer and is only going to get better. IMO we are not missing much, only thing I would like is another perimeter player who can create there own shot

    There is literally no reason to think that. He's been good for a while now. This isn't a 3 game anomaly.

    Tjones can't post up, and shorter then Dmo. 7 footer with post moves are really hard to find and i do think Dmo will become the better player.

    Yes DMo can keep it up! His game is within the system. He isn't getting rattled for a lack of minutes, touches, or shots. He plays hard nosed defense, and is smart about it.

    he is playing like a true professional. keep him playing. he's getting better.

    7 footer should grab more than 5 rebounds. I don't care he is boxing out for his teammates or not, 5 rebounds in 30 minutes are just lame.

    I like the fact he stops good shots from happening. I can live with low rebounds as long as he has a beast like Howard next to him.

    There is absolutely no way in hell D-Mo can be traded now.

    He has one of - if not THE best back-to-the-basket post games in the entire league.

    Plus his defense has improved tremendously. You rolled with him now, no matter what. His confidence is sky high right now - if he has a few more games like this with Dwight in the lineup - there's no telling how good he'll become.

    There's simply no way they can double him in the post because he is a good passer.
