Sumner is such a fucking trash. I would kick him out instantly and would ask to give his money back. Complete trash all season. Zalgiris management has been horrible this season.
Giedraitis with each minute makes Kazys look like a fool. Again, terrific defense on Foster.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:
Jokubaitis, Marciulionis, Laurencikas
Indrusaitis, Brazdeikis, Rubstavicius
Buzelis, Lelevicius
Murauskas, Sirvydis
Tubelis, Krivas

Zalgiris screwed their starting SG letting go Brazdeikis, hesitated half a season to sign anyone in his spot and then brought trash and useless Sumner. So now they are trying to beat Rytas having only back-up guards and we see the result. Off course, Smits and Butkevicius being out of shape plays a role here too.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:

Watching zalgiris 4querter and OT offfensively is like watching LTU NT offence
Post ups for Birutis and Ulanovas and guards Lekavicius and Giedraitis cant hit no good looks after double teams.
When Rytas guards Foster and Cole just playing 1 vs 1 and makes tougher shots compared to zalgirtis guards open looks they cant hit.
Those last 5 minutes thats were Zalgirisi is missing Evans alot. With Evans this series is 2-0 Zalgiris, without him 0-2.
Zalgiris has 5 players (+Giedraitis) in NT camp 2024 and is risking to lose final to team that have zero players in NT camp.
Normantas 26pts and terrific leadership on the floor commanding his players in game 2.
In those fiba games i want to have atleats 1 such smart asshole that is not affraid of nothing than more talented but soft ass NT candidates.
These zalgiris 2 OT looses if same shit like 2022 NT endings loses. Guards can create nothing ,cant even make open looks

Today more like Normantas closed the game and was game changer. Giedraitis' D on Foster has been amazing. He hit few difficult shots, but that's all he got.
I'm watching how Giedraitis neutralizes Foster and I see Maksvytis as the most stupid coach in the planet. If LTU will go down against PR and will lose Olympic ticket he will be hands down most stupid coach ever.
I already see how NT struggles with those midgets. Current Butkevicius can't check small guards we seen many times and today too. Dimsa sucks. So Maksvytis doesn't understand how crappy NT will look defensively against agile skilled midgets.
Literally there's only 2 players in the country (at the moment) who have chances to stay in front such agile, skilled and strong guards as Foster. It's D. Giedraitis and Marciulionis. No other Lithuanian is capable to do that. Maksvytis like it's nothing cuts one and goes straight against PR. IdiotAnd he will cut Marciulionis too.

But that's Zalgiris without Evans that can beaten by Rytas 2 times in a row in finals. In OT they had exhausted Lekavicius and Giedraitis who missed almost everything. That's what i meant when said that without a good offensive American they are screwed.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:

I will say this. If D. Giedraitis had been checking Normantas tonight, he would see 12-14pts at best. And the fatass doesn't understand how legit and priceless weapon is that. You thrown him at any guard and he will neutralize that piece. Only complete idiot can voluntary cut that. And that's Maksvytis. Specially when he has defenseless team.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:

Thats is 2020s basketball your main guards must take over in 4querters In all levels.
Without such guards goodluck winning any endings with post ups type offence.
Thats why i was saying putting Jokubaitis in to this limit zalgiris offensive team isnt fixingno problems.Thats not what Rokas does the best. How he didnt fix NT ending problems,he wouldnt fix zalgiris ending minutes.
Zalgiris guards cant score versus Rytas joke defence in game endings.... vs euroleague defences they would be struggling scoring 70pts playing without skilled scoring american.
Who was lkl finals MVP last year and why zalgiris barely won finals ? Because other scoring american Taylor was really good in finals.
Is not rockets science answers is very clearly can be seen what the is diffrence between lossing by 2 pts and winning by 2pts.
Which teaam have better skilled perimeter player that can take the ball and play 1 vs 1 in endings ?

Trinchieri must put finger on zalgiris guards and demand way more if they want to make comeback.
Birutis 24pts+Ulanovas18pts they cant give more than that.
Guards must give way more no if or buts thats the only way to comeback for zalgiris.
Even without Evans zalgiris still have more tallent,but if zalgiris guards in last 5 minutes again will look like impotents offensively they will lose the finals
Because those rytas 2 skillled americans will score atleast something in last 5minutes playing 1 vs 1
