Re: I'm officially a Pistons fan
If this gets voided everybody loses except for the teams that has their eyes on DMo in the offseason.

If this gets voided it means that DMo has some pretty serious back problems, more than previously known. If this is true, it's unlikely he will get any big offer this off-season. If the risk isn't too great, i'm sure the Piston's still go through with this... maybe change the pick protection.

Not trueAverage Lithuanian height is 6'0, which is only a couple inches higher than the average height in U.S. And Lithuania is basically only caucasians, there's no Asian people to drag that average down. I think our country is relatively good at basketball not because of height, but because it's the most popular sport here, as opposed to the rest of Europe where football (soccer) is dominating.

Well this got awkward

First thing i learnt about Lithuanian basketball is that there are no bad shooters there.In Lithuania and pretty much all those baltic region countries.Shooting kind of comes natural for you guys.
Here in Montenegro we kinda got 2-3 NBA players and all of them are big men.Not because of height or smthing, just there are more skilled big men development coaches and personel than guard ones.There are more than enough big men in NBA and top european competiton but not a single guard.Basketball is popular here too, but IMO not enough.Average height for males is near 6' 2'' making us tied with Dutch, i for example am standing 6'6'' barefoot and i have no business with basketball whatsoever.I am not even tallest one among my friends

Hey man! Huge problem with Lithuania's basketball is that we don't have any good PG prospects anymore... We have some top prospects who are PF/C, then some average prospects at SF, and pretty low level SG/PG prospects...

The biggest question here is, why is a guy from Lithuania a freaking Bayern München(Munich) fan?

Re: I'm officially a Pistons fan
To the Lith fans:
Guys, i really don't know how to say this , its been a lot of fun, we've grown so much together and i am a better poster for having met you. But its just not working out. We've tried everything to fix this but always end up right here discussing the same thing. Its not you or me, its just the way the world works.
I hope we can still be friends, i'd rather not hook up anymore, but i can't promise i won't call you when i am drunk. Also Jstock you left your phone unlocked and i saw you texting rap fans. I knew something was going on when you stopped and1'ing my post. I am changing my netflix password and deleting my fb as i don't want to deal with your drama and netflix recommendations of Louie.
Take care,
always

Re: I'm officially a Pistons fan
Truly sad that Motie isn't going to work out. Been a fan of his since 2011, wanted to take him over whoever we picked that year I think. Gonna be sad to not be able to get a Motiejunas jersey.
