Jonas Valanciunas Summer Discussion II

We don't need to give him a nickname. That's so bush league by this team everything seems so forced, not every single player on the roster requires one....

How about Jonas Vagandpenis? Or knowing Matt Devlin and his corny ways he will probably go and say something like: the train has left the station! Valan CHOO-CHOOO!!!

I like My Favorite Destroye rand Destroyer V

sound awesome.
My Funny Valentine
Yo-nuts! Valanciunas

Valanciunas is such an awesome name though that he really doesnt need a nick

Ross on the other hand wants to go by Toronto Flight 31 but im leanind towards T-REX! lol or big BAWSS RAWSS!

Wow I gotta say. The Lithuanian jerseys look amazing. They look so much better than our own.

Green/White, you guys dig that colour scheme?

There aren't any finals since both semi-final winners get a ticker to Olympic games.

No they didn't f'up, it's a banana republic run by a mad man. This was exactly what was expected. FIBA f'd up, selling the tournament to the highest cash bidder, like a whore.

Now all I can think of is Roger and his Bananarama republic.

Nba tv canada is showing the Russia/ Nigeria game and then have a second slot for another Olympic qualifier, but it's the Russia/nigeria game again.

I thought for sure it was going to show lith/Dom rep.......

Why wouldn't they pick up that game so raps fans can get a little glimpse if Val ??

It really pisses me off seeing all of these guys playing for their national teams (some of them with distant ties) & Canadian players lacking the dignity/ honor to play for their country.

You've got American players like Bonner doing everything they can to play for Canada, & some of our best talent is turning down what should be a humbling, yet prideful & honorable opportunity.

Hopefully this all changes with the next generation.....

Johny Valentine is the only acceptable nickname for Jonas.

As far as Olympic groups go - well... wow.... It's going to be very tough to advance and even if you advance as the 3/4th seed you'll likely meet Spain/Russia in quarterfinals... Damn.

Before the Olympics Lithuania will play 2 friendly games. The first one is on July 22 in Moscow, vs Russia.
