DMC is a great player. But it will be better for the team. DLO only passes to DMC so now that DMC is out, DLO will have to retool his mind and pass to different guys for the first time since he intentionally only tries to pass to DMC and vice versa.
I dont know that the Nets can win but I think the game will be more competitive because DLO will have to play a more honest game today not being able to pass only to DMC (if it's not obvious why they have this 2 man agenda, please dont ask me. Just go back and watch the previous games & it should be evident).
My concern today is that Jamal Murry will score double his average or better. He's been playing pretty bad. Mudiay has been better. However, I can see a scenario today Murray goes for 16+ points because DLO won't try much on defense or DLO allows himself to get sucked into a 1 on 1 challenge forgetting about the team game concept. If Mudiay has a lesser than average game against Dinwiddie today, it will also be telling that Dinwiddie has been pretty good.
We'll see how it pans out.
I hope DLO shows more humility today and passes the ball and plays a team game. The Knicks game was DLO trying to prove something. He failed.
