New Poll: Everything Valanciunas - 2nd Team All-Rooke Selection.

JV - great block

[white men can't jump]

See, that's why you hedge....

[white men can't jump]

Other than that first dunk by Mozgov for the And1, JV has been fairly good on D. I still maintain the 2nd dunk wasn't so much his fault.

[Skaloon]

such an ugly game

[white men can't jump]

All of JV's coverage on picks when he hedges have been fairly good through that stint. Somewhere Dwane Casey is salivating after those last few minutes...

[white men can't jump]

Yeah, but after Russia's run to start the half, it really seems to have helped Lithuania.

[Ambidextrious]

Jonas is playing outstanding defense helping Lithuania cut the lead to 4 going into the fourth q.

dunno why you focus on those dunks right now. even if one of that was his fault - he was put into a game at such a important moment and he is doing fairly good job. we should not expect him to be better than mozgov at this particular moment. but JV is doing great job

[Ambidextrious]

man i am really impressed with the energy that Jonas plays with on defense. They are clearly better with Jonas, Lithuania's coach needs to take notes...

[white men can't jump]

Much better D on plays with Mozgov so far...

[Soft Euro]

Sarunas won't come back in.

They are better with him when he doesn't make mistakes...and I think he was making too many early in the tourney for his coach to cut him more slack

I'm not focused on them because they're dunks. I'm focused on the 1st because it's the only real mistake he made on D. I think just noticing that he's not making mistakes is what I'm focusing on

[white men can't jump]

Hot potato!!!

[Jclaw]

Ruh roh

[white men can't jump]

Damn!!! JV hurts himself a bit...out he goes...though he was sure to be subbed out soon enough

[Soft Euro]

Hot potato!!!

That was nice; looked like he didn't expect the ball at all, still caught it and got it up someway before the shotclock ended.

[white men can't jump]

Seriously with that pass?

[Soft Euro]

Damn!!! JV hurts himself a bit...out he goes...though he was sure to be subbed out soon enough

This was the one game I thought he wouldn't be subbed out at all.

Jonas is a WARRIOR. he rolled his ankle. Got right back up gets the rebound. Sets amazing screens and scores a with a nice touch. His heart is on another level he never gives up. I hope he is okay.
