    Rockets happy to add Donatas Motiejunas back to rotation
    By Jonathan Feigen on December 5, 2015 at 7:01 PM


    The Rockets had settled in on a frontcourt rotation with Clint Capela starting at power forward and Terrence Jones playing off the bench. With center Dwight Howard back on Saturday after sitting out Friday’s game in Dallas, the Rockets could return to their preferred substitution schedule, but were happy to instead return Donatas Motiejunas to the mix for more than just Motiejunas’ potential to contribute.


    With just one limited practice since Motiejunas was cleared for contact, the plan has been to let Motiejunas play his way back in limited minutes. But Rockets interim coach J.B. Bickerstaff said he is happy to add competition for playing time to the frontcourt positions.

    “It puts a little pressure on guys, too,” Bickerstaff said. “The guys who play well are going to play, simple as that. If you know you got another guy sitting over there that’s hungry for your minutes, you’re going to take more advantage of your minutes. That raises the level of everybody.

    “We’re looking forward to having him back. We’ll have to figure out how we’re going to work him in alongside the other guys who are playing well. It’s always good to have too much talent. We’ll figure it out.”

    Funny how bad DMo was yesterday. I get that most of that was just him being out of game shape, but it was still hilarious.

    Calm down. He was super active on D. Took a charge. Almost got a steal.

    He wasn't that bad.

    He was just way too amped up causing him to look really bad on offense. He'll be better when he calms down.

    Bullard and Worrell were going off on Calvin's jacket last night! Had me rolling.

    He was falling everywhere, missing every shot, flopped a little bit. And was exhausting in 6 minutes of play.
