Good thing about Rytas team is that I dont even have to watch it to know that whenever there is turnover, there will be Babrauskas walking away talking to refs. LOL

No looks for Jonas at all.

Rytas can't defend pnr at all it's sad. And their passing skills are very bad too. You could throw alley oops all day long to Jonas when he rolls...

JV's hands/reach is so amazing, surprises me so much with the catches he makes. Lot of these passes look like sure TOs.

That's probably it for JV. He had a strong first half and then nothing in the second.

Wow, can't believe they just ran a pick and roll for Samardziski yet Jonas can't get one all game.

I hope Zalgiris sweeps Rytas, Jonas finally gets some rest and gets into the weight room. What an exhausting season.

So JV is the teams leading scorer after two quarters yet teammates don't look for him in the second half. Makes sense.

I've never really understood the comparison between Jonas & Ilgauskas, but the basline jumper that Jonas made earlier this game really reminded me of Big Z.

If Jonas turned into a more athletic version of Ilgaukas, we'd be in pretty damn great shape.

I can't wait for the last game of the season. It drives me insane, watching Jonas surrounded by these talentless a**holes.

And the most encouraging fact is that we all know Rytas uses the same schemes as Raptors. Sigh.

Rytas team sucks at playinglike a team, because their PG's either do not share the ball and play by themselves (Rice) or are too uncertain about it and end up passing the ball around the perimeter instead of searching for the big guy under the basket or on the roll (Rasic).

i see turmoil within the locker room over there.

i dont even care about seeing him in europe anymore. im beyond that. lets get this kid playing the nba game asap. on a team that he's not taken seriously on, with a coach that doesnt design for him, its pointless

Return to Toronto Raptors
