  • In fact they're prejudiced against green-eyed and brown-eyed Lithuanians as well!

      2) Why take sides? I see no reason why a Lithuanian basketball fan cannot be a fan of both Jonas Valančiūnas and Domantas Sabonis. And just because you might have more of a rooting attachment to one player rather than the other is no reason to run down the other.

      I don't know man. Calling him names just because he's more succesful, plays well in NBA, is loved there... It is hate. Just because the NT sucks, doesn't mean he has to receive that much hate in Lithuania. And the people that hate him, look very cringey. I have described them before.

      I'm a fan of Domas, but not Jonas. I love when Jonas shows effort and plays well, I just don't like him. That doesn't mean that I won't aknoledge his achievements. Sure I root for him, but he's a vinyl debil and he married a shitty woman. Though I loved him making fun of LeQueen.


      The forum drama is rather weird though
      We, personally, did not drink. Just a bottle of Sprite.

        Where? All I've seen is Madmax pointing out Domas' deficiencies on the court in comparison to those of Valančiūnas. While silly, such criticism is fair and not hate mail.

        What the hell?!!! You decry Domantas being subjected to hate mail and then you do exactly that to Valančiūnas with your comments about being "a vinyl debil and marrying a shitty woman"? You criticize others for what you do yourself and see no contradiction? Are you daft?

        I absolutely cannot understand the partisan provincialism shown by some Lithuanian basketball "fans". It's not about Kaunas or Vilnius. It's one country, one team!

        Yes. On that point I fully agree.

        • Domas is 5th in MVP ladder rankings:

          1. Jokic
          2. Embiid
          3. Giannis
          4. Tatum
          5. Sabonis

          One American among top 5 MVPs. Even among top 6, cause 6th is Doncic

          3 times All Star, MVP candidate, soon All NBA guy should be pretty decent back-up for legend JV.

          Stay up to date on the race for Kia NBA MVP with a look at the latest performances from the top candidates.

            Hehe, it's even more funny. At 7th spot is Canadian SGA. One poor American among top 7 most efficient players in the planet

            Heading into the final weekend, Joel Embiid leads the way in what will likely be one of the closest MVP races in NBA history.

            • some people dont even realise mvp race doesnt show best nba players overall

              Its strongly related with teams record that season and players played game number


              Curry,Durant,Lebron,Leonard,Tatum,Booker is in top 10 best nba players list and only one of them is on that list because of too manny missed games.


              Playoofs will show who is who as always


              Teams already making gymnastics in standings how to get Sabonis+Fox or Jokic+Murray and not to get in first round Durant+Booker or James+Davis tandems .

                  Clippers is searching ways how to get to 6th and not end up being 5th and get Durant and Booker.


                  If Pelicans will lose last game versus Timberwolves , Clippers is loosing to even Suns 2 way players on twiter word like is that ( in such case Clippers is 6th)

                  But If Pelicans wins last game Clippers will be forced to win otherwise they will end up in play in and Pelicans in playoofs


                  funny thing Clippers and Pelicans games starts at same time on sunday

                    I won't take "trying to win game" as a proof, because standings are too tight and I presume nobody wants to play in playins. Warriors are probably only team that can afford to play to lose.

                    • Let's sum up the best Lithuanian player's regular season ever:

                      - No.1 rebounder in the league
                      - First Lithuanian and only third European (along with Capela and gobert) to do that

                      - No.1 in double-doubles in the league
                      - First Lithuanian and and only 4th European to do that (others - Pau, Giannis, Jokic)

                      - 3x ALL STAR. He surpassed Ilgauskas.

                      - 5th in NBA MVP race. No-one from Liths ever even was in a race

                      - 2x Week's MVP (Lithuanian record)

                      -3rd center in NBA history (along with W. Chamberlain and Jokic) to put 1500+ pts, 900+ rbs, 500+ as.

                      - Second in the league in triple-doubles (14)

                      And he's about to become first ALL-NBA Lithuanian for the first time ever.

                            Kings taking it right?

                            I have 4:3 Warriors.

                            Kinda expect Kings not giving a f...and knocking down their threes. They are deep. So are Warriors though.

                              • Wow, Kings are really good. Deep team. When your 5th best scorer Malik Munk can drop 32pts in a playoffs, you're pretty deep Fox went nuts. Overall, I just watched extended highlights, but it's obvious that such teams are virtually unguardable in NBA court. It's ridiculous how defensive players can't stay with their players. They simply can't. Even such elite defenders as Green looks nearly slow out there. In that context I liked Sabonis effort defensively except few possessions when he allowed players blow by too easily to the basket. But Sabonis gives effort defensively really. Bad game shooting wise for him, but grabbed 16 boards, 3 steals. Literally Fox can get a quality look after Sabonis screen any moment he wants. It was calculated that Sabonis made 17 "screen assists" in this game. If Fox shooting threes that night, Kings is favorite. They have more scoring power, IMO, that crazy cause there Curry, Thomson, Wiggins on the other end...

                                The worrysome factor is that best shooting rookie ever Keegan Murray was cold. That remains reserves, as well as Sabonis scoring more.

                                Domas having his moments with Green



                                Here Green shows why he's great defender. Domas has to be even more precise with the ball, he's going against one of the best defenders ever:



                                Really unlucky night for Domas shooting wise. He created good looks, but missed plenty of those:
