    I am pretty sure he made 3 free throws.

    I think I just turned into a Eurobasket MOF. I'm mad at the coach for not playing him enough and #18 keeps taking his shots away. :grin:

    only watched the first half but it seems like the coach's plan was to keep D-Mo on the perimeter and have the other guy in the post? Thought this was weird because the other guy had no post moves or anything.

    In the 3rd quarter they went to DMo in the post a bit, but he never got to use any moves because as soon as he'd get the ball in the post the defender would just wrap him up and send him to the line.

    Will Howard be able to catch him?

    I sure hope so. We pay him the max to do so.

    I really do think that DMO is the best fit next to Howard in our current lineup. Has the potential to spread the floor, makes great passes, and would actually be a threat with the ball in the paint.

    Oh yeah and I forgot that it would be nice to have a 7 footer be one of the first ones down the court (Because you know Dwight won't be there).

    Motiejunas 19pts (6/10 FG, 2/5 3PT, 5/8 FT), 5reb (1off4deff), 2ast, 3stl and 2TO in 22:49 of playing time.

    Best efficient with 20 (euro does not count +/- tho).

    Time to see how he compares to Valanciunas and Kleiza. Those are the Top players in my books

    first half D-mo's defend is not very active. man-on-man is OK, help defense is pretty bad. box out is good. Didn't watch second half. from finally box score, it looks like he had a good game.
