Jonas just scored while being triple teamed

Jonas with a tough basket against three defenders. Three FGAs so far. :lol:

these commercials are jokes.

No wing or guard can play slightest defense on rytas except Jomantas, who is a stiff and Redikas, who's too unexperienced to play in this game.

I haven't been able to catch any of Jonas's recent games, but obviously following along here it seems as though he's struggled. So I ask those who've watched: is there a real cause for concern?

I suppose no. He's not getting any touches and on the defensive end he has to take care of Zalgiris guards penetrating into the lane when Rytas guards fail to defend him. Thus Valanciunas has to leave his man wide open and Zalgiris is smart enough team to take advantage of it.

Is there any site out there that I could see Valanciuanas USG% rate ? I think it has too be very low - the only way he gets the ball is off of broken plays.

Jonas doesn't struggle that much, last time he was 4/5 from the floor and today he is 2/3 at the half, rebounding also playing pretty good D. He works his arse off, but doesn't get the ball.

Its funny how easy Zalgiris players lose their defenders while driving to basket.

ATLTimekeeper · Post #1256 » by **ATLTimekeeper** » Thu May 10, 2012 5:13 pm

Benched two and a half minutes in.

ATLTimekeeper · Post #1257 » by **ATLTimekeeper** » Thu May 10, 2012 5:15 pm

When their first few possessions are long, contested, off-balance jumpers by Lawrence Roberts you know that no one's on the same page. Zalgris is just swarming.

It's funny how easily Zalgiris guards can get to the paint without any defensive pressure

ATLTimekeeper · Post #1259 » by **ATLTimekeeper** » Thu May 10, 2012 5:20 pm

PnR coverage is atrocious.

EDIT: Check that, everything is atrocious.

They have no answer for the Zalgris guards.

Was the same in first game guess coach didn't adjusted or players can't
