    I never hear a post game interview where LA, Dame, Nico, Wes or Stotts doesn't compliment Mo and that's all I need to hear. Mo Williams played a big part in us even making the playoffs. He's injured the last couple of games and I'm with Sly, I don't get the amount of dissent he gets on the boards. Very few 6th men in the NBA are defenders. Jamal Crawford is 6th man of the year and he couldn't defend anyone

    Yikes, and he's the 6th man.

    Point well taken after rereading the thread title..in the series he had 2 good games 2 bad games and 2 injured games with fewer minutes in the later. It's not over though..Mo will impact more games. I have faith in him.

    I'll give you this: I'd rather have Mo on my team than Jamal Crawchuck. I despise that flopping bitch.

    But people say our production goes down when we go to the bench but in this case, it wasn't true. Also, without Mo's steal and three pointer in Game 4, we lose the game and very likely, the series. How are you? Your son said you were in the hospital.

    Good Mo was awesome; Bad Mo was atrocious. It's the beta that drives us nuts.

    I respectfully disagree. His play is mercurial. You don't know what you're going to get.

    All year long, Mo has been terrific for us, giving us bench hoops when no one else on the bench could score. He's not perfect, but he's damn good. Without his signing, I don't think we make the playoffs.

    Offensively he is absolutely mercurial. Defensively he's just bad.

    The actual numbers completely contradict what you just said. Out of all PG-SG (that played more than 900 minutes) Mo is ranked 93rd! in PER And 83rd in WS/48. To put that into context, Jaryd Bayless and Raymond Felton both played better than Mo. There is a different between Mercurial and just not very good.
