They're playing the Czechs today

I hate how Dmo stays on the perimeter. They need to post him up as they do to JV. He's a better interior scorer.

Really? You'd think he'd shoot better than 45% if that was the case...

D-Mo has better moves in the post. His shooting % involves more than that.

JV's amazing when he catches the ball low enough and where he can bully his way close to the basket. D-Mo is better with his footwork and moves. I'm not preferring one to the other but I hate how D-Mo stays on the perimeter and chucks 3s. He sucks at shooting long jumpers with his flat form.

D-mo might look better in the post. No way he is better.

Eurobasket.org article from today

Amid all the talk about the high-profile big men that will miss out at EuroBasket 2013, fans tend to overlook the fact they will still be treated in Slovenia to battles among several of the best centers in the world...

As will Jonas Valanciunas of Lithuania, the youngest player in this company.
In the run-up to EuroBasket 2013, the 21-year-old Toronto Raptors player has emerged as the undisputed leader of one of the most storied national teams in European basketball.

Anything about the young star, from his new look, complete with shaved head and James Harden-like beard, to the changes in his playing style after his rookie season in the NBA have been the subject of daily debate among fans and the media in the Baltic country throughout the summer.

On Thursday, even Arvydas Sabonis, who is now the president of the Lithuanian federation, was forced by the media to make an individual mention on Valanciunas.

"Maybe he needs to be a bit more relaxed and look to also play facing the basket," the Lithuanian legend said.

"When he gets double-teamed in the low post, I think he could pass the ball out to the guards and try to run the play again."

After making 6 free throws in a row and all the dunks in the last 4 minutes, yeah it's gotta be out of control at this point.

Automatic from the free throw line...

I have a feeling we are going to suffer a lot at the cringe-worthy entry passes Jonas receives but it cant be worse than this.

Wow and as I type Jonas bails the team out to finish the quarter underneath the basket.. Good stuff.
