Any word on Mo?

[KingSpeed]

Will he play tomorrow? We need him.

 

[Nikolokolus]

We don't need Mo, we need defense.

frankly IMO is is not at all any kind of difference maker in this series, so don't worry about it

 

[KingSpeed]

We don't need Mo, we need defense.

We had four starters scoring 20 or more. Our starters destroyed SA's starters. But we need bench offense. I think our cord is atrocious this year when Mo doesn't play. Could someone look it up?

Our bench is getting killed. Mo averages more assists than any other bench player in the NBA. It's not just his scoring but his playmaking and leadership. Plus, he won Game 4 against Houston for us.

Well, The team was 49-25 in the 74 games he played.

So, without him - we were 5-3.

 

[Schilly]

So we are slightly better with him.... Our bench is getting killed, he is our best offensive threat off the bench. We aren't going to miraculously become a defensive juggernaut in the next 25 hours, so we need to beat them by doing what we do best... scoring.

 

[Sinobas]

I'd like to see CJ thrown into the fire. Game 4 is a pre-season game as far as I'm concerned, start auditioning Mo's replacement. Hell, send in Meyers Leonard!

Absolutely, remember game 2 vs Rockets? Howard had 25 at halftime. But Aldridge had 21. We couldn't defend but we were able to hang tight with them by being unstoppable on the other side of the court.

5-4 now.

 

[Strenuus]

5-4 now.

Good enough for 7th in the east if stretched out over an 82 game schedule!

And the 7th seed in the east got swept in the first round. Is that what you want?

Well... I... We won the first round, so I don't exactly know what you're asking.

If we brought matthews off bench with mo we wouldnt have the lillard mo line up that gets torched all the time. I think it is a genius idea on my part. We would always have batum or matthews at the 2 and mo could solely spell lillard at pg. Wright can cover the 3 and batum could back him up. Stotts can work their rotation like he does mo and lillards now. Barton can spell at the 2 for a few minutes.

Unfortunately, Stotts has a bit of Nate in him. (And cue the jokes...)

We need mo' defense.

well this is obviously not the HOU series and SA plays excellent defense and MO can't guard his shadow and with an injury is even less effective - so like I said down't worry about it
