Jonas had a big game against a tough team. JV has guts, more than some 7 footers for sure. He's going to take his lumps because he wants to play around the rim, he's a rookie, and he's not as strong as many other NBA bigs.

I said yesterday that JV was the best Raps big at times before his injury and he showed that last night. For him not to get big minutes the rest of the season and for him not to jump Gray on the depth chart would be a travesty.

*Also, he's clearly as much a target here for beign young and known. He gets beat on by guys every night...there have been some really dirty plays at times

Every year he's going to get a little bit bigger, and he's already tough as shit. Pacers were hacking him out of frustration when he got position on them for a rebound. Kleize has that stone cold, don't fuck with me, edge too - maybe it's a Lithuanian thing? I look forward to Valanciunas laying people out for years to come.

Raps need to toughen the fuck up. If someone's going to lay one of your best players out with a dirty play they've got to hit the deck. I'm don't believe in violence as a retaliation but i do believe in standing up for yourself and the rest of your team. Show some fucking pride. If I was Casey I'd have called a timeout and sent Acy in to remind Hansbrough and the rest of the league we're not going to be stepped on.@sweatpantsjer
