The song at the beginning of these videos is hilarious. Is there a full version anywhere?

Vtb league playoffs game in 20 minutes. Rytas leads 1-0 (till two wins)

is that the team they only won by 6 points (but the difference is important like soccer)?

No that was for eurocup vtbleague point difference isn't important.

I don't know if it was deliberate, but he arched his body away from the three point shooter and used his length to block the shot. Unusual blocking style.

Something to do with being very afraid of fouling the shooter, I think.

That's what I presumed.

Gangsta with a hard foul.

I like how they're posting up JV a lot more in this game.

Is VTB not streaming this game legally? Can only find a boxscore on the site...

Val with that drop step and a little fadeaway already two times in the first half. Can't stop that Brezec!

For those who have been following him all season, JV gave another indication of how his game has grown since last summer. Last year, he hardly had a post game. During the first half to two thirds of this season, he almost always pivoted to his left in the post. Now he's starting to pivot right as well. That last FG was a nice example of something we're going to see more often - his ability to go either left or right in the post, which will make him harder to guard one on one and harder to double team (which side does the second defender cut off?).

He also his a mid-range jumper. When he takes that shot, you really feel it's going in. His mechanics are smooth. You quake in your shoes when Ed Davis takes the same shot.

10/4 after half.

Best of three. If Rytas wins today, it advances.
