    They keep announcing Mo Williams as being out for a game, yet he has played big minutes for the past two, and played pretty effectively.

    If Mo is really hurt, needs rest, but is gutting it out for the good of the team, then I say a tip of the cap is in order.

    He was huge last night. I've been hard on him this year, but at this point we're going to need him desperately in the playoffs. He's one of the only guys on the team with playoff experience.

    I think he is a top 6th man type in the league.

    Mo has been more on than off ever since the second or third month of the season. He has been very important.

    I was gonna mention the same thing. He seems to have played himself into shape; I forget that vets do this.

    I haven't watched Meyers recently, but his stats are starting to look like a Rookie starting his season. Perhaps there is hope he can be a back up center someday... ha =\

    Meyers Bieber is still a deer in the headlights.

    Mo takes like 3-5 shots per game where I'm like "Really Mo??" (Dame does this too though)

    Same here. It's been a long time since I've bitched about Mo's overall contribution. Sure, he makes me SMH from time to time -- but they all do. ;)

    But of those 3-5 low % heaves he's making 2-3 of them most nights. It doesn't look sustainable, but it's not like he's missing open guys. He's firing a lot of those types of shots up b/c the shot clock is running down and nobody is open. This seems to happen quite often since Jan.
