    I've got no ill will toward DD or any other member that defends players they like. Being crazy is the very definition of being a fan(atic)! And while we differ on some opinions, most all here share the same goal...to see the Rockets win another ring.

    Chasing likes is for the mentally weak, don't chase being liked, be original!

    Dmo played 34 games this season in NOP.

    His overall stats shockingly similar to a year before.

    Both average around 14-15 mins per game. And of course, points and shooting are worse than ever.

    Too bad the bridge had been burned, he won't get another chance like Lance.

    Look at the bright side, at least he can dominate Papa in some Euro league games next year.

    Really bummed. As a Rockets fan, I want this kid to do well in spite of everything. He gave us his heart and I think he loved Houston. The year when Dwight was out, Donatas was awesome. He could roll to the rim and hit hooks, scoops and floaters with the best of them on ANY defender. He could make that corner swing pass as the roll man, something that Clint/Trez/Nene struggle with. Sometimes things don't go in your favor when you go to a different team. New coach, new system, and sometimes you just don't fit. It was painful for me to watch Steve and Cat leave the Rockets heartbroken after battling the Lakers in the first round with a rookie Yao, and it is a bummer to watch Donatas hit rock bottom in his career.

    I hope he can bounce back and get one more decent sized contract so he is taken care of.

    Big body like him will be useful in the playoffs. Dude was rested with the playoffs in mind. Expect him to play big now on

    I think you meant to say a sturdy back like his would be useful for the playoffs. That back is holding up very well.

    I don't feel bad for him at all and personally, could care less if he ever bounces back or gets another chance. This guy very clearly made his bed and how it's his responsibility to sleep in it. He knew his rights and now he gets to exercise them.

    Maybe when BJ said the rights thing he meant 'the right to remain silent'??
