Kaunas Zalgiris Thread

[Straight forward]

Neither of them are leaders. Actually Brazdeikis has way more leader's qualities.

[Straight forward]

Grigonis can be 3rd option on winning team,Brazdeikis can be 6th men thats their level in 2020s basketball

No he can't Where's he's 3rd option? In CSKA, PAO? Hell no. He was barely leaving the bench in the PO. Grigonis can be nothing but a small role player for top teams.

[Shawshank]

Thet both can be zalgiris club level leaders they have enough level for that.

But they dont have skills to be leaders of elite teams or elite NTs.


For me Grigonis is better leader. Why? They both are alphas by character but one have iq, other dont

I trust alpha with some brain that does multiple things on the floor more that ultra confident dummy player that just does scoring and nothing more to be my limited tallents teams leader.

[Straight forward]

Yeah, we seen how that alpha operates in NT when it matters.

[Shawshank]

Grigonis when things goes badly in game he thinks: what to do,how can help my team seeing double teams

Brazdeikis when things goes badly like vs Serbia thinks: i can beat that double team and score


I rather have leader that thinks about the team and overall what happening on the floor not leadre that thinks only how to score by himself.

[Shawshank]

Grigonis played more minutes in euroleague final than Brazdeikis was getting in 20pts blowout game in regular seasons games

Nothing to compare.

Grigonis playing for foreign euroleague clubs 2019-2024 and never became 15th team player like Brazdeikis did


Bartzokas easily top 5 euroleague coach and he just couldnt stand Brazdeikis random and brainless play by end of the season.

[Shawshank]

Good emotional game but zalgiris should look in the mirrow

They were shown no fight in first 20minutes, last 15minutes they tottaly outplayed rytas and almost comeback from -20.

When zalgiris started competing they simply have way more talent.



Today game shown very well why Brazdeikis is brainless tottaly unpredictable wild mustang and not leader material at all.

He can be scoring leader in game he feels it ,but with such limited basketball brain he has no chance being leader of men group that would follow him.

Brazdeikis is talented american type 6th man .Coach can check in first half is ball going in today or he is doing just brianless hero ball ,in such case dont even play in 2 half.

Iggy never makes in game adjustments.

[Straight forward]

I'm happy Zibenas is not NT coach. Basically no ball movement, no ideas how to play, Pauliukenas is playmaking at the start of 4th quarter, LOL. Total chaos. They live and die with threes and hustle. He only can communicate well and sparkle the fight, but other than that he's thrash. It's scary what kind of level our coaches are...

Francisco is speedy as fuck, but I hated his chucking today. His shot is trash. I watched him in pre- season and I watched recent 2 games and I would say he can't shoot. He will be able to shoot only in some game, but far from constant basis.

Sirvydis today showed that it will be a battle with Iggy this season.

[Shawshank]

Francisco will be very up and down player.

His shooting looks broken,but he believes himself he can shoot like vs Barca ending and creates so much with his ridiculous speed that coach have to play him.

Everybody goes under and still Francisco manages to get inside the paint and good things happens


But zalgiris frontcourt is disaster this year. Rytas demolished them under the basket. They need one more big man at minimum.

From Italo disco to Italo Fiasco. Insulted a journalist, and also after the game he shook Zibenas' hand rudely. Probably his ass is burning losing finals and now again to 3 and a half (approximately) less budget team.

Didn't expect Trinch to lose temper like that. It was really low Even Saras never lost it like that. He became super cocky and super mad, he lost his cool and showed how obnoxious and rude he can be. He was slapping some of his players previously if I remember correctly. Good coach, but crappy personality. I mean he has that dark side. Never thought he will get so cocky so fast. He put himself into situation now, better play good cause shit's coming after this

[Shawshank]

Trinchieri can't beat champions league club with at least 3 times bigger budget

Arogant Italians is loosing his temper with inability to beat Zibenas .... How he shaked hands is total loosing his mind reaction

That arrogant millionaire is lucky it was filmed because after insulting like that other man you can get hit to head easily in men environment

[Straight forward]

Some-one wrote a good comment. "Imagine he's shaking Saras' hand like this" Fatty Trinch would be repeating a lot of mamma mia, LOL

Trinchieri is a great coach but he loses sometimes his temper.
