    I love his offense, but I wonder how many of those little flick shots would get blocked by Nba length. He also seems to have momentum problems - doesn't change directions once he starts moving. And his range is suspect... but seriously, love his post game.

    Watched the entire game just focusing on D-Mo. I'm a little frustrated with D-Mo. He runs the court well for a guy his size. He has a real feel for those little shots in the paint. But he seems really hesitant to mix it up in the paint with the big guys. Sometimes when players are fighting for a rebound, he'll stand a few feet away and just watch. He seems to have good hands on offense, but when rebounding he has a difficult time grabbing the ball. He also doesn't to know how to box someone out for rebounds.

    They played him at both center and power forward. I don't know if he is quick enough to guard people away from the basket, and I don't think he has the strength to guard a strong center in the paint. I think playing center is his best position, and the position the Rickets would most like him to play.

    No one could watch these highlights and honestly tell me that Donatas is ready for playing time in the NBA. He looks clueless out there. Still a promising prospect though.

    Thanks man! Actually I'm the only one who writes for Crabdribbles now. My brother and I created the site, but he's too busy to contribute now so it's just me.

    We're actually British, but I've been a Rockets fan for the last seven/eight years now. League Pass keeps me awake until the early hours of pretty much night because of it lol!

    So, how did you guys become Rockets fans out of all 30 NBA teams? Is it because all these UK Power Forwards that Houston has had recently (Hayes, Patterson and Jones)?

    Clueless? Really? Every pass he makes is done with a clear concise purpose. Very little wasted effort on offense. On defense he is not NBA ready, but there are many aspects of his game that point to him being NBA ready. For one, he is being defended by Sean Williams for most of those possesions at the end. Williams is a NBA big who was drafted and had decent defensive impact in the league

    Kinda crazy that Crab can watch his favorite team on LP in England but I have to resort to some sketchy websites even though I live in Lufkin and paid $200 for LP :mad:

    Well its not really the money that bothers me. I guess this is off-topic but the NBA's blackout rules and what constitutes the Houston market is kinda silly since I'm 115 miles from Toyota Center. I assume this will be worked out before the Astros season starts.
