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

[Skaloon]

the injury is nothign big - old small injury no worries, but for this game he might be done - it's a shame

[white men can't jump]

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.

Yeah, very nice to see in young bigs. Didn't put himself into a bad situation too, like bringing it down...I cringe every time I see Amir or Ed do that.

[Ambidextrious]

He is one of the main reasons why they are back in this game

[Soft Euro]

And a 7-0 run for Russia after Valanciunas left the game.

yeah, he was having his best game by far. Again, I say that because aside from his energy, for once he was playing pretty sharp, not making mistakes.

Amir doesn't just bring it down, he buries it five feet under.

now this could be out of reach for Lithuania. Man Kleiza is having a bad game. I cant stand JASIKEVICIUS, I'd rather start KALNIETIS.

Shouldn't have brought Sarunas back in, he's not playing well.

[white men can't jump]

They really did well with that big lineup. Russia's too big for them to not have a C on the floor I think

[white men can't jump]

Jonas!!!

[Ambidextrious]

im not sure why Coach is putting Jonas back in the game. He is risking re injuring his ankle

[white men can't jump]

clutch effort on the board

[white men can't jump]

I'm sure he wouldn't do it if Jonas didn't say he was good to go

[white men can't jump]

Shouldn't have brought Sarunas back in, he's not playing well.

Think it was just to give Kalnietis a rest in this case.

[white men can't jump]

In this game their D is immensely better with JV on the floor because he's playing well

[Soft Euro]

Think it was just to give Kalnietis a rest in this case.

He could have rested after the Olympics.

Wow, Big Val is playing like a beast right now. Love the action on the glass, and his hard rolls to the net are opening up tons of options.

[white men can't jump]

wow.....epically bad turnover

[Ambidextrious]

wow.....epically bad turnover

+1 That stings. Could have cut it to three or two

[Raptor_11]

They should keep Val in and keep using the pick and roll.. he rolls hard and has super long arms to catch anything. Would be more effective than jacking up 3's like they're doing now
