Jonas gor himself injured in the final minutes. Seen him limping off the court, Hopefully it isnt bad and he will be back 100% fit for the next game.

No, he pretty much dominated the paint with 27eff rating in 26 minutes.

What you up to? Been drinking all night or smth? :lol:

Rytas won, Jonas had magnificently outstanding and full of brilliance first half, or whatever. :meditate: Took the game over early, and thats the whole story.

Here is Rytas highlights. *Jonas never wins jumpball, seriously.

We even had a Turkish troll, who questioned Jonas' upside and athletic ability, while ironically praised Enes Kanter... Yes, THE Enes Kanter :roll: Interesting morning that was.

The good thing about Varejao and Zaza is they are tough, and Varejao is a good defender.. but I think Big V's ceillin is more than that

I went out yesterday and heard a song i didnt a long time ago.. in fact, i was in highschool when this song was released.. someone should make a mix of the core (Bargs, DeMar and Big V) with this song :P

Jonas is an excellent player. He was a really nice draft pick for your team. He'll make a very good career in the NBA :D

That was a sick highlight where Jonas just takes the rebound away from that one dude and dunks it immediately afterwards.

You can kind of see his hands creating a similar shot form. Guess DeMar and Valanciunas shoot from outside the same way.
