It wasn't as if I couldn't understand how it could have come about. But actually come to think of it, the nickname his old friend used could be something dear to his heart. I shouldn't have teased about it. Whatever's good for you is good for me, DMo. Keep pushing and stay healthy!

Yeah his wiki page is right, his original nickname is Donce (pronounciation don-tzeh). It's his name informally shortened in Lithuanian. Aka Shaquille -> Shaq.
I thought we were going with the Phil Collins pronunciation: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qi5y5aDiqlE?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> "Dance with me/ You never Donce with me"

Love the brutal honesty and attitude. Reminds me of (the positive aspects) McHale. Now only if Winnebago could have his attitude we'd have ourselves a nice complimentary piece for the future.
impossible to criticize someone when they are that frank. Love the guy for the type of person he is and I hope he grows. Most importantly he has a lot of passion and I know he spends long nights at the gym thinking about games like these in order to improve.
LOL! His twitter is gold. REALLY needs to work on that defense. He's a very hard worker so I know he'll get busy in the off season and surprise everyone next season...he's also gonna be super buff /swoon ♥ After that one first game he started, he's gone away from his cool post moves and today it felt like he was parked at the 3pt line too much
Would prefer Donatas just quit playing like **** instead of wasting time being and awesome guy and owning up to it. Being an awesome guy doesn't matter unless it wins you games.
Pffft too busy tweeting rather than actually putting work in the GYM Spoiler Good to see him have the right attitude, I am hoping for him to turn the corner but as far as Rookie campaigns are going he ain't doing bad at all

Which is why it would have been a good idea to bring him off the bench while an experienced PF starts until DMo proves that he can consistently perform.
