Jonas Valanciunas 11/12 Season Thread III

So far this season Jonas averages only 6 points against Zalgiris. We'll see if he improves that during the finals. His team needs that - they'll have much better chances of winning if Jonas can at least play to his standards.

Think about better player than Kleiza in Raptors team: Andrea Bargnani, Jose Calderon, DD or Amir Jonhson and add the Kleiza, who dominated in Euroleague. I have no doubt that Raptors would be Euroleague champs easily. So CSKA record in NBA would not better than Raptors in this season. Playoffs only dream.
CSKA have only three-four players who can play in NBA. Kirilenko starter, Teodosič - maybye starter in poor team, Krstic - bench... What about others? In my opinion Shved, Khriapa, Gordon or Lavrinovic isnt NBA level players.

Returning at the theme: tomorrow will be Jonas 20 birthday and first LKL final game.

You have a very loose definition of "dominated". No one has dominated Euroleague since the early 90s. Also, you clearly haven't seen any Euroleague games in a long time, if ever.

Finals series start today. LKL crown secures Euroleague spot for Rytas next year. Bring it, Jonas.

Yes. They also don't have to win to be in the Euroleague. Just like this year, they get to play in the qualifying rounds by making the finals. They just have to actually qualify, unlike this year.

Just saw that Rytas has played 70 games in this season already. That's more than NBA regular season this year

Up to 5 more game left in the lkl. Also Olympics qualification tournament and maybe Olympics Jonas got a lot of experience this year

omg... how about they try getting JV involved? They're playing out of control right now.

RPzB · Post #1171 » by **RPzB** » Sun May 6, 2012 4:17 pm

Babrauskas chucked 3 shot in a row instead of giving easy pass to Jonas.

Commentator on Val: A stable free-throw shooter, buuuuuuuut, not always. How does that make sense?

Lithuanian ball commentators don't make sence, because that's not a criteria why they are given job IMO.

Val was looking good. Too bad the coach won't let him play.

I hate the score keepers. I'd love to get an explanation from then on why they ALWAYS rob JV of his blocks. I counted at least 2 and they show him as having zero right now.

For some reason they always put steals when there should be blocks and vice versa.

Javtokas is owning right now.

Those were not borderline blocks. They were clean smackdown blocks in both cases. How could they not count them? JV has been terrific on defense so far against some very big guys. It's encouraging.
