Jonas Valanciunas 11/12 Season Thread II

[RPzB]

Lieutvos Rytas has a strange mascot...it looks like a rat in a shining armor suit?

It's iron wolf - the symbol of Vilnius. There is this legend that grand duke Gediminas liked to hunt in the Forests of what is now known as Vilnius. One time he got tired and fell asleep. While sleeping he had a dream about iron wolf hauling very loud. So naturally what every normal dude would, he went to visit a shrink. So he did, he went to the medieval equivalent of shrink called "high priest" and high priest told him that it's all pretty chill and his dream means that he needs to find here a city which will be as tough as iron and will haul as loud as that wolf in dream. By hauling he meant will be as glorious that everyone will be heard about it.

Aniways, you guys from Northern America don't hae that kinda stuff, cuz back then you were living in Europe or Africa, or Mars...

Thanks for explaining it. I meant no offense to my Lithuanian friends by that comment...I saw the Iron Wolf mascot on the screen for 5 seconds and was puzzled.

My family are Indo-Aryans from North India...we are used to jungle animals and village life

I didn't perceive it as an offence, cuz this mascot really looks like friggin sewer rat on steroids.

That's cool bro. We have a Raptor as our mascot because in 1993 Steven Spielberg made the movie Jurassic Park and a lot of people liked it.

4th quarter is humiliation...

Some of the guys on Minsk look like they might have second jobs.

I agree, the guy who was guarding Jonas V in the 1st looks like his day job is a plumber / car mechanic

Oh dear, this game is like pickup ball.

I respect you still having your draft predictions in your sig, given that every last one (with the exception of JV who remains untested) is wrong. Too many people trying to prove how right they are around here but forgetting to acknowledge when they are (usually) wrong. Good on ya.

Man the babrauskas on Rytas team is such a total crap of a player its incredible. he may score points on Ft and rare not-bricking triples but he defends so poorly that almost all d collapses with this guys slow feet and even slower thinking.

Redikas despite looking lost on o a couple of plays looked twenty times more solid on D than that **** waste of space walking under number 5.

Val at least had a good game, but frankly if it wasn't for him and Seibutis and occasional sparks from Roberts/Katelynas this team would be completely unwatchable.

Thanks, 14 pts, 14 rebounds, 4 blocks, 8/10 free throw line in 27 minutes is very good...though Minsk is no better than a YMCA team

The only concern I had was 0 assists from Jonas V, but its not entirely his fault as his teammates are sucky

Welcome to the club

Rytas used to be cool back when Trifunovic was the head coach. Dzikic is pretty bad IMO, but w/e.
