Donatas Motiejunas 23 Points Full Highlights (3/17/2015)

Donatas “D-Molition Derby” Motiejunas is leading the league in made hook shots this year. Kind of a surprise, but also kind of not, because once you think about it, there is no one else in the league who shoots them at the volume he does (except Vucevic, who is slightly worse at converting them). Do…

Donatas Motiejunas 18 Points/5 Assists Full Highlights (3/7/2015)

Wish me well, YouTube viewers. I soon will depart in my time machine, as a temporal warrior, to an end unknown. I am making my final preparations; my time-suit is fitted and applied, my affairs have been set in order, and I have a month’s worth of nonperishable food in the form of MREs located…

Donatas Motiejunas 16 Points Full Highlights (3/1/2015)

I’m sure the Houston Rockets don’t have a problem with attendance these days, but I have an idea to spice up the somewhat homogenous basketball action on display: Lithuanian Heritage Night! It’s perfect: Donatas Motiejunas is Lithuanian, a country people don’t know anything about, so it fulfills the dual roles of enlightenment and fun! Replace…

Donatas Motiejunas 18 Points Full Highlights (2/25/2015)

To the dismay of Lithuanians everywhere (but mostly in Lithuania), Terrence Jones has come back from his injury to displace Donatas Motiejunas from the starting lineup. However, to the delight of Lithuanians everywhere, Dwight Howard is still out, which means that Donuts still gets to start, albeit at center instead of power forward. So the…

Donatas Motiejunas 21 Points Full Highlights (1/31/2015)

The practicing habits of NBA players are scrutinized heavily in this information-seeking world. Who knows what kind of crappy headline you could write if only you knew of a certain player’s inability to do layup lines? The latest tidbit to come out of the practice gym is that Donatas Motiejunas makes 200 threes after every…

Donatas Motiejunas Career High 26 Points Full Highlights (1/30/2015)

Driving home from practice, Donatas rolled down the driver’s seat window of his expensive SUV. With the mild winter air blowing across his face, he thought that Houston wasn’t too different from his native Lithuania. Perhaps a bit more spread out, but the Texas winter was not far removed from a Lithuanian spring or autumn….

Donatas Motiejunas 15 Points Full Highlights (1/23/2015)

The Rockets’ commentators mentioned in tonight’s game the “Greece-Lithuania connection”, referencing Kostas Papanikolaou finding Donatas Motiejunas for a pair of nice buckets. That made me wonder: how are relations between the two countries actually doing? Imagine my excitement when I found out that there is a whole Wikipedia article called “Greece-Lithuania relations”! Sometimes writing these…

Donatas Motiejunas 14 Points/2 Threes Full Highlights (1/15/2015)

Donatas “Donuts” Motiejunas needs to cut back on the donuts and other junk foods. He is not exactly “cut”, as the kids say these days. Now that he’s more of a post banger, the extra bulk might be helpful, but I think it would be even better if he could run up the court without…

Donatas Motiejunas 18 Points Full Highlights (1/12/2015)

Hey Lithuanians! I don’t know if you noticed, but Jonas Valanciunas just scored 31 points, so you’d better watch that vid before you watch this one. D-Mo will be waiting for you when you get back. Pretty sweet, huh? They must put something in the water (other than mind-controlling fluoride) in Lithuania that makes its…

Donatas Motiejunas 17 Points Full Highlights (1/8/2015)

Our greatest fears have been realized: Donatas Motiejunas has not been getting the touches he used to while Dwight was injured. Well, maybe not the greatest. Even greater was the fear that Josh Smith would come in, displace D-Mo’s starting spot, and take all but the most garbagy of minutes from him. Thank goodness that…
