VTB League 2010-11

  • Thread starter Thread starter IGLR2
  • Start date Start date
VTB regular season is starting today with a match between red hot CSKA and lithuanian champs Rytas;) This could be a blowout game, since Rytas seemed to be struggling badly with their play in preparation matches, but it also could be a good match, knowing that CSKA isn't in their best shape either. Good luck to both teams and nice basketball season to all of us;)

i do not think CSKA is red hot at the moment,not with injured players like Chriapa,Kaun,Voroncevic or Holden - any of them could easily be in starting five on a given day.
Anyway,for the three quarters game was close enough to enjoy until Gordon and Siska took matters in their own hands.For me it is still early into the season to make decisions about teams potential,but i bet that Vainauskas is itching already.And what happened to Jomantas - clearly 1,5 minutes isnt sufficient for the player of his calibre.

well, I did like some things about Rytas in this match - they are defending the paint well and Valanciuans is swatting shots at will, which is very promising to see:cool: However the shooters are still way off with their jumpshots, and with CSKA making 50 % of their 3 pointers attempted it was always gonna be a blowout. In other words, this team has potential, it maybe just need a better coach and approach to maximize it's full potential. Vainauskas may very well be preparing a new coaching job for yet another poor fella it seems:D
 
I don,t know about LR fans, but for me Anzulovic can evoke only annoyance. When he made a cowardly escape from Perm i understood for myself that as a man he full of crap. This inadequate idiot can blow up a good atmosphere inside any team. Look, Jomantas who is without doubts a strong all-around player and can help his team in many ways,played just 2 minutes. I,m actually doubt that Arturas was injured. Without questions we can see Anzulovic factor here. And else. Where did he found Nagla?!:confused: Unique piece of wood...

1) Some of Ural Great fans said, that he had been a good coach and the team had a success with him. I haven't heard anything about his character or behaviour in Perm, but it's certainly not the same.

2) Regarding Jomantas, from what i've seen, he's in a very bad shame...Maybe it's the reason, why he almost didn't play.

3) Regarding Nalga, yes, he's horrible in offence. But it's not Anzulovic's choice, it's actually GM's job...The only player, who came after Anzulovic was Johnson and he's quite solid player.

Shape,you mean?
I hope it is the reason why he didn't play much.I know he had hard time recently with injuries ,but he could be that man who brings the team together
with all his experience and toughness.And i do not think Vainauskas would allow him to rot on the bench.

BC Kalev/Cramo unexpectedly fought hard today against VEF/Riga, but lost with horrible defensive lapse in final second.
By the way Kalev budget is only 0,5M Euro this year.

No complains about the fouls or rebounds?Only about small budget?
Richey,it doesn't sound like you at all.
With 0,5 mil euro ,oh my gosh,you would be right at the top of LKL ,apart from Zalgiris and Rytas that is.And no matter what,you are going to get shit beaten out of you anyway
And just to let you know, Kurtinaitis is one of the heck coach , just wasting his time in this never land of basketball,Latvia

Maybe VEF is bellow his level, but still - Latvian basketball is not that bad, no need to disrespect them.
 
U drunk or what?
Only clubs who got shit beaten out of them by Estonian clubs have been Rytas and Perlas so far...and we heard a looooooooooooooooot of complaining and ridiculous justifications :D
What's the Siauliai budget, really under 0,5M Euro? I don't buy it.

Actually, Šiauliai is the only team in the LKL which hasn't revealed their budget to the journalists, but it's probably over 0.5 million €.

Don't you tell me you did not know that.For me this forum is about escapism.
I guess for you it is too.It just that you are Estonian and well,there is not many things you can cheer for.Basketball wise
