Nope, actually I give a damn bout last season, didnt want to see nba..

idk man, in some parts I have to agree with Raptor_claw in the fact that Jonas could have been more valuable to his team (I wont talk about Beverley cause I dont follow his team).. For what I see, Jonas couldve been more useful by his team, its just the fact that they dont run plays with him.. all I see is Rice and Seibutis with the ball and rarely give the ball to Big V.. all I see is Barbrauskas and the other guy Katelinas shoot the ball and dont give the damn ball to Jonas Valanciunas, even when hes hustling for the position in the paint! im not saying hes not important, but he definetely could be more important on the offense..

If Rytas loses, are they out of the playoffs?

Jonas wioth foul trouble but considering how badly Samardjiski looked against Brezec, the fatty should have let Jonas play more.

Those 2 have similar game, both young. Tyrese had worked out for Raptors in preseason few years ago.

What's funny is that I had lunch with Terrence Ross' agent yesterday. We talked about every possible scenario. Toronto never came up.

This is terrible team basketball, these guys take quick shots after one pass or awful contested pull ups. Jonas hasn't received a touch in the pick and roll or on a post up, wtf?

Edit: he finally gets a touch, draws a double team off a pump fake - drive base line - spin move to middle - dumps it off and gets his man an open layup on the cut.

RUN THE BALL THROUGH HIM

If they lose it, it's on Dzikic. He subbed Rasic back in when Rice was having a great spurt in the 4th

Two of fourth blocks were Anthony Davisesque - blocking a 3point shooter and clutch three throws to seal the deal, good to have 80% FT center at the end of the game.
