    Did not see this posted prior to creating thread. Donatas Motiejunas WILL START Game 2. Corey Brewer OUT of Starting Lineup, per Feigen...

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Bickerstaff confirms Motiejunas to start.

    If you're still experimenting with your rotations in the post season you're gonna have a bad time.

    I mean - WTF was Bickerstaff thinking....Over/Under on how quickly DMo gets yanked is 4 mins.

    I'd be willing to bet my house that Brewer still gets more minutes than DMo.

    Seriously, I mean one of the biggest coaching blunders I can remember from this team. Brewer is god awful and he starts him?

    DMo starts, our rebounding sucks.

    @Jonathan_Feigen: Rockets getting crushed on boards, largely because giving up so much penetration, other Warriors have clear shot to boards.

    The Warriors are just amazing - you can't have a guy on the floor who can't score, Brewer is out, now Howard needs to be too.....

    Took DMo about 15 seconds to contribute more than Brewer ever did in Game 1

    He was chasing the guy, Howard once again fails to step up and help, and then when he does the weakside guy does not help the helper.

    We have a stupid lazy defensive team.

    If you want super lazy D watch Terry.

    Well...obviously...DMo is discreet. DMo's boxouts are so good and so subtle they are actually not visible with the naked eye.

    Good start . Continue to post him up when he's in the game.


    DD dude is not a good rebounder bruh. Let that myth of him boxing out go.

    He is an ok rebounder, certainly not a good one.

    But he is not on the low block where he should be.....he would get more bounds if he was playing center.
