Amazing JV block

JV swats a dunk attempt.

Why does LTU look so bad during all of their friendlies (every year)... is this a strategy?

Post #484 » by **DG88** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 1:50 am

Jonas just swatted a 3 point attempt. I think he's got 3 blocks already

I wish JV could magically gain 20lbs in his upper body. It seems like he's still to weak from the waist up to move players.

If they lose this game, it is time to worry. They used to school this Dengless GB team with their pre camp B team, and no look at this, 12 points. This is not a strategy, O just sucks.

Looks like people waking up, games getting a lil better.

Talk about dwelling, Lithuanians brought everything, even a damn floor. Thats a Lithuanian floor right there, well, the ads at least.

Interesting matchup between JV and Joel Freeland. Both just scored against on each other on straight possessions in the post.

Los Manos · Post #491 » by **Los Manos** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:09 am

Finally they give JV the ball when rolling to the basket off the pick and roll and he catches and finishes high over the defender.

Nice PnR and roll to the basket quick and uses that jump hook at the key

Los Manos · Post #493 » by **Los Manos** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:10 am

Good boxout too on the offensive board. The much bigger Archibald had to foul him to prevent the easy rebound and putback.

Watching Jonas off the ball he sets so many screens to free up players. He's going to be so nice in Casey's offense

fredericklove · Post #495 » by **fredericklove** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:12 am

is he still not setting a hard pick that many here have complained about? Cos he just did a quick slip screen or whatever you call, the not so hard pick lol.

is Deng in the building with BC?

If GB didn't make all those chucking 3s this game wouldn't be so close.

Los Manos · Post #498 » by **Los Manos** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:18 am

Kleiza really did lose 50% of his athleticism after his knee surgery. It's a shame.

UcanUwill · Post #499 » by **UcanUwill** » Sun Jun 24, 2012 2:21 am

Yeah, Kleiza looks nothing like he was in 2010. He can still rebound, but thats it. He scores but he also takes tons of shots so whats the point.

Kleiza looks exactly like last season, no explosiveness. Yeah it's a shame.
