JV just seems like a game changer out there not bad for what a 19 year old kid . His team seems to be involving JV more than they have in the past .

Was a nice game and those Brit chaps were really fun to listen to.

why did they want to make a play in the final seconds when they had already won the game..

Its a 2 leg series, like Soccer. There are 2 games, and the combined score is what matters. For example if Donetsk has +11 points after 4 quarters next week, there should be OT, if they win it by 10, they actually lose (mind blow). I know, thats really dope.

It's cuz all that matters here is aggregate, cuz we can understand double and tripple digit numbers. :lol:

Rice is terrible. But plenty of lithuanians like him because he can score. Which is stupid as he chucks, takes more shots than anyone with pretty bad % is turnover prone and almost always stagnates teamplay like hell.

Today Babrauskas played well actually. Surprisingly. Maybe it was his birthday or something.

Jonas had a mediocre game. Good on defensive side but could certainly be better on O. He was still a game changer though. Team with him looks more solid than without.

Final stats? This stupid boxscore is still in the 3rd quarter lol.

Jonas had a great game, blew some shots and his FG% was bellow average, but he looked great out. One of the better games this season I would say, definitely not mediocre.

14/10/2 on 4/10 shooting.

I thought he showed pretty early he wasn't going to get muscled by Jackson and Kravtsov. He had a nice drive from the wing in this game, where he just missed the layup after he got fouled. There's bits and pieces of a diverse offensive game that he's starting to develop. His role on offense has increased dramatically since the beginning of the year.

Darknemo2000 · Post #1216 » by **Darknemo2000** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 7:55 pm

Lets agree to disagree UcanUwill. I though he blew a couple too easy scoring chances on offense. A lot in the first quarter and a couple in the last. He was great on D though.

I recommend every raptos fan to watch Rice's play a couple of games so that every crappy play from Jose or Bayless would start looking like a masterpiece compared to this horrible PG of Rytas team.

Darknemo2000 I'm guessing you have the same nickname on basketnews.lt too, right ? If so I wish you good luck there - the ignorance and stupidity of posters there is overwhelming.

UcanUwill · Post #1218 » by **UcanUwill** » Tue Mar 20, 2012 8:00 pm

He blew few easy buckets for sure, that was ugly, but I think it was one of his best defensive performances, he was solid on boards, and his intensity was always there.
Overall, it was one of his best games IMO. It would have been perfect if not those missed lay ups. He got 23 eff rating although it was not the most statistically pleasant game.

Hm... from Rytas standpoint it's not the case here, because Doneck would have played 2 out of 3 games at home (they were 1st in the group, Rytas was 2nd).
