Mo played well.

It's time to put the "MoT sucks" chants to rest...5 boards in 22 minutes, and he was lights out from the field.

Everytime he got the rock I was like "here comes simrud" but alas, he scored...

His line:
22 minutes, 4 for 6, 4 defensive boards (5 total), 2 blocked shots, 1 steal, 1 assist

Not for nothing, AD had similar numbers in 33 minutes.

Rose can go and frye should be get both rose'* 5 minutes and some of AD's minutes (Imagine Frye hitting that bucket at the garden!!)

I think it's time to stop hating on MoT.

no doubt

* is rose plural possessive rose' or rose's?

I couldn't find the Manup thread...but at 16 pages, maybe it's time to start afresh (is that a word?)

No, it isn't.

And the word you're looking for is "anew".

Mo T didn't do bad at all, I will tell you this, a few teams could of used him last night and won. The nets and the nuggets to name a couple...

MO had a decent stat line for 20 minutes & we have to give him props. He is the same breed of player that TT is. A dawg. A lazy, stupid underachiever. I hope we are showcasing this bum & I hope somebody takes the bait (i.e. Denver for Watson). Otherwise, its foolish to give away Frye's minutes.

I actually thought that Mo taylor was working pretty hard both in the preseason and last night, hes not going to transform into a great rebounder or anything but he has consistently shown himself to be on of the best scoring big men on our team, I dont think hes the same as TT.

I'd still bench him for Frye, Lee, or Jackie in a second, but as that doesn't look like it's going to happen, I'm fine with him at PF.
Whether the trade for Mo was good or bad is another question, but the fact of the matter is he's here. Might as well get some use out of him.

that's all I'm saying. so...let's start targeting Rose for Adios-ville.

Mo looked fluid in the offense and you have to admit, that boy can shoot.

weird thing is that he was the most efficient of all the players on the team. (Rating: 15.00)

Why is Brown so reluctant to use Frye at Center???? if he can find confidence to use James at Center who is not producing nor even able to stay on the court, why not give those minutes to the young man that can actually put points on the board and rebound??? If he can find in his heart a little confidence in the kid, his rotation could have been as follow: Marb, Q, Ariza, AD, Curry.....He could easily substitute Frye for Curry, especially when curry is tired, because Frye can score just as well as Curry can;;;;;He could then instill Mo T in the game as a substitute at PF....deactivate Rose for Lee to backup the PF and SF positions.

Mo sucks. Play Frye. We're not going anywhere with Mo Taylor. I defend Zeke plenty, but the trade for Mo Taylor is inexcusable. Even the Jerome James signing made more sense.

Jerome needs to get with it...He looks horrible on the court..He is not running the floor and he is foul prone...I do believe that just like the other guys, Jerome is a little timid when he is on the court. As for Mo, I would still trade him if there is a chance to do so.

Mo played very well last night on both the defensive end (with 2 nice blocks) and on the offensive end where he couldn't miss. He is what he is, that being a solid bench player who can give a team a lift at times.
"This is a very cautious situation that we're in. You have to be conservative in terms of using your assets and using them wisely. We're building for the future." - Zeke (I guess not protecting a first round pick is being conservative)

MoT came to camp in shape and worked very hard. He's not a great player - he'll never start - but he was good value for a second round pick and some players we had no use for.

One game doesn't make it time to get off Mo T's back. If he plays like this for a long stretch, people should and probably *will* get off his back. If he plays like the lazy, inconsistent player he's been the past few years, people should not get off his back.

He's not a great player - he'll never start
But he has the skills to be almost as good on offense as Zach or Carlos B. He just doesn't have the desire.

I wouldn't bet on it.

I want Frye to play. Mo T is irrelevant to me.

Yeah, I can accept that. What really pissed me off last night was that Rose played ahead of Frye even though Frye outplayed him in the preseason.
