    Maybe he was worried about getting stuck on the bench. Maybe the top Euroleague teams simply weren't interested. We probably will never know.

    Anyway, the finals are all set now that the second semi-final is over.

    Best of 7 this time. Again a legal stream will be available for each game. (http://195.245.213.199/Ch0001 or http://195.245.213.199/Ch0006)

    First two games:
    21 May 2012, Monday, 12:30PM ET
    23 May 2012, Wednesday, 12:30PM ET

    A quick playoff highlight vid of D-Mo I just put together (not a whole lot of footage out there):

    His right hand hook looks sensational, a mirror image of his left.

    I think he is the only person we have rights to than can be a superstar but it won't happen in his first season. The kid is very light in the breeches (durant level) and is very slow laterally(no defense). Its going to take a few years for him to adjust.

    That post is just laughable. Watch some basketball before you post.

    Why is it laughable? I'm from Lithuania and I watched quite a bit of Motiejunas play this season plus euroleague. I'm a fan of Donuts but I think I have to objective. He definately wouldn't be a starter on a Final Four calibre team in Europe.

    He probably thought you were taking about college basketball final four.

    I just noticed that his hook shot isn't a "hook" shot at all. Its a one handed turn around jump shot since he squares his shoulders to the basket during the release. Its impressive that he can do it with both hands, but I wonder if that shot is more likely to get blocked in the NBA.

    Ok are you talking NCAA final four? That's how I took your post. When you say final four I'm thinking Phi Slamma Jamma, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke etc.... No question he would be a major contributor and likely starter on those teams.

    If your talking Euroleague then I completely misunderstood you.

    He's clearly talking about Euro Final Four.

    Yes. The question now is: will he make it to the Summer League. He didn't make his country's Olympic squad, so he might as well come.

    Not true. He's a finalist for the Olympic squad.
