    I looked to see if this was posted since I can't be the only one wondering this but didn't find anything so here. If it was posted mods please merge if not its ok.


    Since game 1 ive wondered where has donatas motiejunas is at. His size would help us as well with Aldridge. Than in game 2 I was surprised we didn't see him. Than in game 3 I was really surprised we didn't see him and now in game 4 I'm just confused. :confused: Please someone with a lil more Rockets insight than me please let me know if you guys know. Thanks.


    Start of 2nd half game 4.

    Red Nation!

    He is inconsistent and not ready to play Aldridge defensively.

    But he still has size. Obviously T.J. struggled against him too defensively. Is he even active on the bench or just traveling with team. I don't even think I see him on the bench tonight like I have past few games.

    because he's not going to get any minutes unless it's a blow out game

    Rotations tighten down in the playoffs.

    TJones isn't significantly better than DMo to the point where DMo should be getting DNP-CDs while Jones gets critical minutes.

    D-Mo doesn't do anything particularly well. If you want to take a chance with him guarding LMA, fineā€¦ but McHale doesn't think he can from what he's seen this season or in practice.

    He made strides this year and showed that he can be at the very least a good backup, but it's pretty obvious that in a playoff game, he's probably not someone you can trust to stop a guy like LMA.

    Forget it McHale will never play him. Jones, Casspi, Garcia, Powell and Daniels ahead of him.

    You forgot Covington, who is in a sweet suit.

    So no one thinks we will see him tonight with Howard having 2 fouls already. I still say we can use his size.
