Donatas Motiejunas - X Factor

Because Harden > Dwight > Ariza > TJones >>> DMo

 

Actually I said Harden was the reason Terrence was chosen over DMo the whole season. The playoffs were just a continuation. They were forced to drop him for Asik after those first 2 losses. But they still left him in the rotation. Because Terrence was James' guy. That's true.

 

I need to stop coming to this thread. Every time I hope he's participating in practice or there was a new development. But all I see is yet another tweet of him lifting and doing all these fancy drills and getting yet even stronger. At this rate when he comes back he should be Dwight's body type.... Not hating on Dmo, just that we miss him and this thread is not helping as he's nowhere close to getting to the court.

 

I think they're expecting him to come back in the middle of December.

 

he might be practicing in a week!

 

My mom saw him at Kroger yesterday. He told her he'd be back in 2-3 weeks. So there you have it, straight from the horse's mouth.

 

That timeline feels about right.

 

I heard that D12 and Harden chose Tjones over Dmo because Dmo didn't take any of Harden's crap. He's never been the type of dude to roll over for anybody.

 

Rockets setting up DMo's return to be epic if they start figuring out how to win games by the time he comes back. LOL.

 

I don't buy all of this high school drama you want Rockets to be.

Just based on this video alone, I don't think there's any chemistry issues between Harden and DMo. They're professionals and I don't think they let favoritism into the court when the game is on.

 

Release the Lithuanian Lycan!

 

This was a year after the fact.

 

How dare you call your mom a horse?

 

Lets trade him for a pick

Too late, bro.

 

Since it's Thanksgiving, you should be grateful for DMo getting injured at the end of the season, not at start. Instead of missing entire regular season he'll wind up missing less than 2 months of regular season in 2 seasons.

 

With DMo dropping 3s and playing great post defense among other things, maybe the Rockets beat GSW in the WCF.

 

Naaaah. McHale would have found a reason not to play DMo in Playoffs, as always.
