The good thing for Raptors fans, that another team Lithuania center got injured and won't play in Olympics. So we gonna see a lot of Jonas on court playing against different opponents (if he won't get fouled out quickly)Last edited by japetas; Fri Jul 20, 2012, 02:32 AM.(Sorry for poor English )

I wouldn't care too much about individual matchups. It'll be nice to see how he does against Chandler, and possibly Love and Davis. I think I just want to see if he's able to have any impact protecting the paint and the glass, but won't be upset if he doesn't seem to against the powerhouse. Really, I'd be happy with not being starstruck, and being able to stay on the floor for at least 15-20 minutes of decent basketball.

2 things working against JV beyond the pressure D and Valas foul issues:
1) Chandler looks like the perfect matchup (for the US) and Davis has length and hops. They're gonna make him work hard for anything.
2) The Lithuanian Offense is so heavily perimeter oriented that they don't really look for JV for much more than garbage buckets.
Not expecting much from that game. I'm looking forward to some of the other match ups more. Spain US will be a monster game. Spain has Jose, JCN, Ibaka, Rudy, 2 Gasols and are disciplined and well coached. They look like a bad match on paper for the US's front court. If Spain can slow down the attack they stand a legit chance at an upset. And by upset I mean they might keep it close for 3 quarters.LET'S GO RAP-TORS!!!!!

i want to see jonas against france, brazil, china and russia. spain and usa have real big strong all-star caliber bigs. i want to see how he does against a tough player like turiaf, a non-stop worker like verajao, a non post up player like zhizhi and a young up and comer like mozgov.
how well he does in these games will give a better picture of what we have year one compared to usa and spain. in my opinion of course.
