    Here's another DMo article... and thread:

    http://www.nba.com/article/2016/12/08/houston-rockets-rolling-or-without-donatas-motiejunas

    HOUSTON — Mike D’Antoni means it when he keeps saying there will be nothing but good vibrations if Donatas Motiejunas walks back through that door.

    But that doesn’t mean the Rockets are waiting. Not when they are having this much fun and success already.

    After all, any team would welcome a 7-footer that’s got the light footwork of a ballroom dancer in the paint and a nice shooting touch.

    Yet the Rockets have gotten to this point at 15-7, as perhaps the league’s biggest upside surprise of the season, without looking as if there are any gaping, needy holes.

    What Motiejunas is missing by refusing to report after the team matched the restricted free agent offer from the Nets is another of those nights when James Harden simply looks like the coolest cat in the jazz club, playing riffs with his crossover dribble and step-back 3-pointers or handing off the melody to another in the band on backdoor cuts and long, leading fast break passes.

    Great quote:

    "Motiejunas and his agent B.J. Armstrong are like a couple of bank robbers who show up at the teller’s window pointing their guns at themselves.

    In turning up their noses at the Rockets and making a stand for what Armstrong has called D-Mo’s “rights,” all that is missing is logic and leverage and even a trace of common sense."

    This is also a Rockets team thread though if you read the article. Blinebury is just pointing out how D-Mo is missing out on all the success by being such a greedy moron.

    DMo knows his rights. Blinebury is a mere collaborator with The Man. Fight the power!

    Best Blinebury article in a long, long time. I can't disagree with any of the points made.
