    Thanks for the link.

    Hope you don't mind me quoting your post in the separate EuroBasket thread that I made for the games with Asik and/or some other Rockets in Europe. Thanks again.

    Looks like there's some strong rivalry going on between the two national teams.

    Macedonia - Lithuania sold out (in Macedonian)

    DMO 4 3 NO MO!

    Have you ever seen a solid shotfake from Motiejunas? I can't remember. The second he gets the ball he starts driving or passes right away.

    Well DMo's not getting any practice posting up or really anything on offense, but at least due to the awesome zone they run, he's getting to practice his perimeter defense on guards a whole lot.

    I guess its better than players who pump fake and then drive every time.

    That was an NBA level flop from that Macedonian guy there.

    Is D-Mo not playing today? Or is the coach racist? :)

    Edit: D-Mo is not among those officially sitting out/resting today. So, DND-CD up to this point (hasn't played at all in the first half).

    Looks like even if he does end up making the team he won't get a great deal of playing time, if any at all.

    Well, they do have 3 games in 3 days. Maybe he'll play the other two games and the team isn't making guys play 3 straight days in warmup games.

    D-Mo starting the 2nd half!

    ... and after a little over 2 mins he gets pulled again. Coach not happy with his rotations on D.

    Mediocre D and blown layups, that about sums it up for d-Mo.

    I expected mediocre D but not blown layups.
    He needs to get his act together, or else he will be traded like Royce White.

    It's going to take a couple of years for D-Mo but the Rockets can be patient since he has a cheap contract. He may be worth the wait.
