Donatas Motiejunas - X Factor

lol

Great game by Dmo. Loved the rebound total a lot.

 

Any of you guys think he's nursing an injury? His moves are not as fluid and quick as before.

Maybe it's just me.

 

lol

I don't think so. I pretty much think it is the competition and travel, etc. The whole team seems a bit off to me and probably due to Harden.

 

26-12 very nice.

I like how the bench is surging at this point in the season... Smith and Brewer are beastin right now. I love how the energy immediately goes up when the bench comes in. Bev has really slipped in his decision making AS A PG! Besides james, DMO's been my favorite player on the rockets thus far.

 

In my opinion, YES!..... I have been feeling like this for a while thou. I just simply feel more comfortable with him scoring than any other Rocket in the team not named Harden. DMO is the type of player SA seems to always find. Crafty euro with strong fundamentals and a great feel for the game. His post moves are crazy and he is just getting started. He does not rely on his athleticism to be successful. I think we have something special here, please don't trade him. This guy is the real deal....

 

I feel like his Hi-Low passing is the best thing for our offense. It opens ups so much. He's really fluid with too; no hesitation getting dwert or smoove the ball for easy buckets. Ive also felt that he was our most indispensable player next to 13 for awhile now too. It's onward and upward for this guy.

 

He just does so much right...... Very rarely does a player come along that you can tell has passion for the game on both ends of the floor. On top of the post moves, defense, offense and passing he has something very few players in this era have. Confidence, he is not afraid of missing. If he continues to improve this guy could be something very special. I honestly do feel like he is our 2nd best player after Harden.

 

He's no longer just an X factor. He is integral to the Rockets success.

 

Playoff intensity is another matter. We will wait and see.

 

Kinda impressive that DMo managed to turn his 3point shot around, i guess hes really giving his all in practice.

 

Dang, he beasted tonight. I guess he wasn't blowing smoke last year when he said that he could play and deserved minutes.

 

Didn't Morey tweeted he makes 200 3's every practise?

Asik, D-Mo, and TJ... Morey already had a front court. He just should have been patient.

 

Remember when DMo was asking either to trade him, OR give him some minutes? He knew what was up.

 

26 and 12! Now this is more like it and what I'm talking about. These are the kinds of numbers TJ has shown capable of putting up every now and then. DMo needs to have more games like this where he is the best player on the court for an evening. I loved watching that. Hopefully he can build on this. I've been impressed with his consistency overall, but in order for him to be truly be mentioned as an untouchable player, he has to show that he has these types of games in his back pocket. The ability is there so it is up to him to make it happen. He has to go out there with the mentality that he is going to dominate his opponent. I didn't like how he had that breakaway run at the rim in transition and kicked it back out to Pat Bev. We ended up getting no points that possession. He should have tried to tear the rim down. Be more aggressive big guy. He should be like this is Harden's team, but right now with Howard out I'm next in line to eat.

Somebody should change this photo and put Rockets team faces lol

 

Dwight down before that Laker game, and he simply hasn't been the same player since. It also just about coincided with D-mo's touches.

Since then the Rockets are 17-4 when D-Mo has 10+ FGA. We are 7-8 when he has less than 10 FGA

Get him the damn ball, I'm just sayin.

 

This time with Howard out will be a crucial time for DMo, Josh Smith and TJ. I'm not happy that Howard is injured and I hope that he will come back strong after the All Star break, but I must admit that I'm looking forward to seeing what those other 3 guys can do with extended minutes and touches. Our makeshift front court has been playing very well overall. Three highly skilled big guys.
