Mo has got to go Part Deux A big argument for him is he bails us out in critical moments. A little analysis on that. 10 times I can count he has done that(feel free to point to others). Four times against above .500 teams. Two of those in the first month. Spurs. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400488912 Pacers. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400489133 Rockets. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400489201 Suns. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400488993 Six times vs bad teams. Kings. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400488966 Pistons. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400488978 Celtics. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400489001 Raptors. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400489020 76ers. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400489220 Jazz. http://espn.go.com/nba/boxscore?id=400489161 What you also need to take into account while he may bail us out from time to time, that his defense against opposing PG's is often a big reason why we need to be bailed out in the first place! Other teams constantly go at him while he is on the floor. Not only that but he has been increasingly throwing up bad shots outside the offense. Leading to a 44 to 40 drop in FG % from last month to this. He plays good against bad teams, who would have guessed it. Wes calling out bad defense? This guy a culprit. After he & Batum put so much effort, Mo comes in & disgraces that effort. He should not be playing 49% of our total minutes at guard, it is ridiculous. Come playoff time, you better hope he is "on-Mo" instead of "off-Mo", because I have a sinking feeling that will decide our chances of winning a series let alone going deep.
It's not a surprise really. For one, both play together with the rest of the bench. Secondly, their defense together is godawful.
