    • wake up in morning and check nba , we can see

      Valanciunas 33+16
      Sabonis 19+15+16

      Fan who dont follow and dont know history how nba have changed can say thats 2 best lithuanians ever

      Go to youtube look at highlights is funny Valanciunas scoring layups and pistons dont eve try to double team till 4th querter and Jonas dont need even use his strenghts like in fiba. Pistons players not interested to defend inside themselfs go away to side and Valanciunas scoring bunny after bunny this is not basketball im sorry

      Smits or Hayes would play way tougher defence than what pistons ale bigs tried to do

      nba went too far with letting everything for offensive players and defender barely can touch opponnets.

      How can we compare stats from zalgiris euroleague game 66-61 and nba regular season game Pelicans-Pistons 116-110?

      Thats like diffrent sport stats wise.


      In every nba podcast i listen even americans talking now nba need to do something is getting out of hand.Score 40pts in 2020s nba is like 30pts in 1980-2010 years.

      They are laughing themselfs Doncic didnt even shoot well but still ended 43+15+13


      After that Valanciunas,Sabonis comes to fiba and its tottaly diffrent story.They are good no doubt,but to score just 20pts it takes so much more energy and efforts than nba regular season game because defenders competes for real playing for their NT .

      Thats were those Giannis,Doncic,Jokic words comes about scoring in fiba

      When Valanciunas scored 34pts againts germany in 2OT game he barely could walk after game,he played on limits of his body. I doubt after tonights game scoring 33pts was Jonas even tired

        • JV's match-up was trash. Piston's literally didn't have a body to put in front of JV. NBA is too scoring prone, but it's a lot about match-ups too.

          It's obvious Sengun is not a match-up for Sabonis either yet. Sabonis is huge though, 16 assists. I have no doubt he's most underrated player in the league. He's in the MVP race, and by advanced stats he's like TOP 6-7 player in the league, yet fans can give him few votes for an ALL STAR.

            • Without Zion Jonas touches and scoring increased alot in this 7 games Pelicans played after Zion injury and eurobasket 2022 MVP center still sits and watches on pelicans bench as 3rd teams center

              Thats shows what is the diffrence between nba and europe game.


              Will somebody will be suprised when Hernangomez brothers will play on same level or even better than Domas/Jonas in fiba world cup? or under 10pts nba guards like Rubio/Mills will be bigger stars than 15pts nba centers ?

              I wont. I even expect that to happen how game is played in fiba and knowing those players skillsets.

              Shooting in fiba is main weapon.In fiba nba players wont get that open way to layups like in nba regular season


              Where we can compare nba and fiba is nba playoofs.There is no more bullshit basketball and players playing real defence,only best teams with their 9 best players playing,no tanking teams,real preparation done for opponnets and so on.

              • Fellows raising good questions. I think it's time to start Sabonis and give him agile pieces around him. IMO, we should start Sedekerskis, good cutter, shoots 38% threes this season (36% EL career). IMO, today people don't understand what Sedekerskis made another quality step further and is legit EL piece. And good talk on Tubelis:

                • Some interesting and new things in NBA draft projections for our players:

                  -Buzelis stands at 4,4,7 picks in 3 draft mocks 2024 I found
                  - Tubelis appears in the first round. nbadraft.net has him at 27. But generally he is seen as early second round option sort of.
                  - Murauskas appears on the map. First time I see this. nbadraft.net has him at 47 in 2024 drafts.
                  - Rubstavicius fell further in espn and other projects. Stands some-where outside top 60.

                  IDK if 21yo Rubstavicius can attract attention, but I would suggest him to stay in Liekabelis for another season and likely to have a brake out scoring season in Eurocup. He's nearly ready to be big scorer already. I Canak played him 30 minutes and gave him his shots, we would be talking about 14-16ppg kind scorer with solid %. If he stays next season, I think he can be basically the key scorer for them. But also Zalgiris might take him back to the roster too.

                  IDK what's better for Murauskas. To dominate in Liekabelis next season or to have some minutes here and there in EL with Zalgiris. IMO, he next year will be more or less ready to step into EL a bit and maybe even to be more consistent than Say Cavanaugh.

                  It will be interesting choice, but both will raise their stock next season, IMO, specially Murauskas who will still be only 19yo.

                  This year Tubelis is probably nearly a lock in the second round. So after empty 2022, we should have Tubelis in 2023. And then Buzelis in 2024 and potentially even Murauskas/Rubstavicius joining too.

                  I wouldn't be surprised if all starting level players that I project end up being drafted - Domas, Murauskas, Buzelis, Rubstavicius, Jokubaitis

                  Imagining the bench will consist of Brazdeikis, Tubelis, Sirvydis we will have like 60-70% drafted players.

                  • Pelicans without Zion losing much more than winning. Kings passed them, standing at 3 in the west, Pels ar 4. If Pelicans won't have fully ready Zion for playoffs, I doubt they are making much noise. While Kings with their great offense now is pretty hot team, they can surprise. Hard to say how things will transit in PO, but their offense looks really smooth, they are able to create open looks and Sabonis is ready to grind and bruise harder under the boards, he's much more ready than in previous years.

                      • Pelicans are also playing without Ingram and Herbert Jones, both starters

                        • Take 2 main stars max players from any nba team will go badly down. Pelicans still holding well compare what could be if not their deep bench.

                          Ingram played only 15 games of 45
                          Zion played 29 games of 45

                          Even Clippers medical experiment 2 main stars played more game (53 to 44) that says alot

                          With all that Pelicans record is still 26-19.

                            • Domas Sabonis also was miss-used by OKC in his rookie season. He was camped at the three point line and forced to chuck those threes while he was not a shooter. Once he land in Pacers and started to play under the boards more, he instantly became different player. Basically OKC screwed his first season, while Ilgauskas and JV were in comfort zone right from the scratch. Also Sabonis dishes 4ppg as career goes.

                              • Domas also played most minutes than any other of 4 centers.Same like in NT he always lead in played minutes.

                                Saying that somebody is not using him sounds funny to me.

                                Stop blamming everybody,ltu teammates,coaches,fiba small courts but Domas. When all stars looks bleak in some fiba games that on him too.


                                If he is stop 20 nba player no playing system,no coach should be able change that.

                                If you are good only in one favourable playing situation are we sure that player is top 20?


                                What the biggest diffrence between Sabas,Gasol,Nowitzky europes bigs rushmoure all time and Domas?

                                Yeah shooting.Player wont be best of best playing just one way.

                                Best of best could beat opponents from inside and outside thats why there were the best. Jokic is also will end up in this category

                                No fiba small courts,no bad fit teammates, no coaches,no fiba rules cant change that if player is all time great .


                                Excuses can say good but not great players.For real peaking top 20 world player give fighting chance roster and he will deliver more than not.
