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….

Josh Smith 18 Points/4 Threes? Full Highlights (1/28/2015)
I’m tired of everyone dumping on Josh Smith all the time. All people can talk about is “bad shot selection” this and “significant negative on the court” that. He has feelings too, you know. So, if you’re reading this Josh, please enjoy this expertly compiled list of your better qualities. – When his jumper goes…
Read MoreDonatas 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 “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…
Read MoreDonatas 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…
Read MoreDonatas 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…
Read MoreCorey Brewer 25 Points/6 Threes Full Highlights (12/28/2014)
These are some pretty good highlights. Corey Brewer hitting a bunch of threes, making funny faces? Always a good time, until you realize… Realize that he once scored 51 in a sanctioned NBA game. That knowledge kind of make all his other performances seem worthless. This isn’t even half of what he is capable of….
Read MoreCorey Brewer 12 Points/5 Steals Rockets Debut Full Highlights (12/22/2014)
I must be an oracle or something, because just nine months ago, I wrote this in a description: “[Corey Brewer] should be angling to get traded somewhere where the weather isn’t a threat to kill him on a nightly basis. He should also try to land somewhere where they allow you to eat food, because…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas 18 Points/3 Threes Full Highlights (12/17/2014)
I apologize with utmost sincerity to my Lithuanian friends. I did not make Motiejunas highlights first thing; instead, I shamefully produced videos for other, non-Lithuanian players. I am very sorry. I have brought shame upon my channel, myself, and my family. It’s probably too late, but now you can watch D-Mo scoring 18 points. A…
Read MoreDonatas Motiejunas Career High 25 Points Full Highlights (12/13/2014)
I should just stop being surprised by anything that Donatas Motiejunas does anymore. I really thought, that with Dwight coming back, that he would not put up the same excellent numbers he had been. I especially didn’t think that he would improve upon those numbers. But he did! Is there nothing that this guy can’t…
