Lithuanian caoch had to adjust and took JV out. Ukraine still made a run and missed couple of open 3 in the last minute. Lituanian coach got lucky again, after he decided not to call a time-out when Lithuania had their last possession of the game. Ukrain had another 4 seconds for a win. But Lithuania pulled it out eventually.

In fact, pretty sure that Dwight, Vuc, Deandre, Drummond, etc have a pretty damn hard time guarding out to the 3pt line.
That why bigmen who can post up and still move all the way out to the 3pt line and be a threat are hot comoddities.
That is why Bargnani was selected number 1, to try and be that guy.

Hmm, reading the comments from people who watched the game isn't all that encouraging. The 19 and 11 suggests a pretty good offensive game, which has never been the issue with Jonas. Hopefully, he bounces back in game 2 defensively.

Shaq was never all that useful defensively late in games
However he got the ball on the offense and nobody could stop him so it didnt matter. Teams need to start leaning on JV as a scorer because he is clearly efficient at it instead of trying to turn him into a 7' that will be able to guard the 3pter.
Cant wait till he has a coach that creates a trend instead of followd the trend (which he clearly isnt suited for)
Also, if they made a run while he was off the floor anyways...why not have him in and to score on those three point shooters?

You could have had Jonas on the floor (his opponent had 4 fouls and 5th foul is the last in Europe) and score points with JV, but if he would've continued to struggle late in the game on D, you could end up losing. It's a question of strategy. I would've kept JV on the floor and forced the game with him in the paint. Force that other guy to foul out or allow easy points. But just as Casey, Lithuania NT head coach is a D minded guy. On the other hand he builds his offense around Jonas.
