With the game near the half Parker and Diaw carrying France (no surprise). Javtokas a no show so far.

[angel_luv]

Good job Parker. Diaw too. :)

[Mavs_man_41]

Is it on tv?

[picnroll]

Bruno what's up with Turiaf and Petro. Don't see them getting playing time, or even listed for that matter.

[Kori Ellis]

Is it on tv?
No.

[Bruno]

France roster has 17 players for the moment.
The coach want to give playtime to everybody before diciding who will be keep and who will be cut.

Javtokas is getting owned by Weis a day after getting owned by Wang?

Perhaps the Spurs know something about him that we didn't.

No way man, Spurs are retarded for not signing him, didn't you see the 2 minute highlight reel?? :lol

[ChumpDumper]

FULL MLE, BABY!

[Bruno]

Weis isn't that bad : forget the VC dunk and the fact that he was drafted by Knicks with the 15th pick, he has made a solid season in Spain and is a good euro center.
And he is even cuter than Rasho ( http://www.sigbasket.eu/image.php?id=2980 )

Florent Pietrus, Turiaf and Petro haven't played today . French bigs for this game were Diaw, Weis, Brun, Julian and Masingue. It's disapointing that Javtokas hasn't dominate (at least at the rebounds). Diaw is a good player but isn't a great rebounder, Weis is a big euro stiff and Brun/Julian/Masingue aren't even good enough for the euroleague.

If Robertas gets owned by the Senegalese center, we need to renounce his draft rights.

You're crazy. This off-season is an enormous failure. The Spurs should have paid Javtokas more than the LLE. [/Mr. Body]

*shrugs*

It'd be better than overpaying for Francisco Elson just so you have somebody to masturbate to. Why the FO cares about a stupid Aggie's lonely Saturday nights, I don't know.

[danyel]

Javtokas isnt really a european star like some people in this board grew up to believe...

And he was never a dominating kind of player.

[ChumpDumper]

Would Wang join us for the LLE?

... when RJ plays well in the real games, I'm going to remind all of you just how quickly you were writing him off.

:smokin You forget something, it was friendly match, stats in this kind of matches aren't so important!
P.S Lithuania was playing after whole mounth of phisical training in the gym...

Of course, it's way less meaningfull that the world championsip in Japan. But even if it's a friendly games, teams try to do their best because they don't play the whole year together and they need to gain chemistry quickly : it's more meaningfull than nba preseasons games.

P.S Other teams were playing too after a big physical training...

[T Park]

:lol

Body takes it personal.

What a surprise.


Damn Body has some hardcore manlove for Robertas.

Not quite like licking Francisco in the bunghole like you guys.

It's obviously one or the other. Lick it up, bay-bee! :lol

Senagal has good centers : DeSagana Diop and Boniface NDong but they didn't play with the senegalese NT.

So :
Lithuania 74 - Senegal 75

Javtokas :
8 points (3/5 2P, 2/5 FT)
4 rebounds (4 deff)
0 steal
0 block
0 assist
2 turnovers
4 PF
6 foul against
22:21 min

[SpursWillOwn]

Weis is still on french team??

[Bruno]

Weis is still on french team??

Yes, he gives up the NT few years ago and come back last year. He is just 29 years old.

He doesn't play today against China (Franch coach wants to see other players) and it will be interesting to se what short french players (only Petro is higher than 6'9") will do against big Chinese players.

BTW, Live stats of France-China (http://live.basketfrance.com/edf/page.php?id=116)

:lol

Dude, just admit that you're wrong. Javtokas is getting lit up by Euros, the Chinese, pretty much everyone but Willy Wonka's oompa loompas, and you're still crying like someone stole your lunch money about us not paying Javtokas to come over.

Overpaying for Elson? At least the dude can hang in the NBA. You want the Spurs to spend the same amount of money they did on Elson to bring over Javtokas after he's done getting lit up by Wang Zhi Zhi and the Queen of England.

Give it a rest, admit you were wrong, and find a new hobby other than masturbating over your boy Javtokas.

I almost feel sorry for you, the Great White Hope is looking like the Great White Whipping Boy so far in international play.

And for the record, I could give a flip about Elson. I am excited about us getting Butler. I guess where we differ is that at least Elson can play in the NBA, so if we're going to overpay someone I'd rather it be him than your boy RJ who can't apparently even play with anyone.

[T Park]

Aggie put it perfectly.

[furry_spurry]

Get back to me in a month when the games matter.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Get back to me in a month when the games matter.

So I guess you've never played competitive sports in your life.

If you did, you'd know even if it's a friendly you wouldn't want to go out and let Wang Zhi Zhi light you up for 27 points when you're trying to convince an NBA team you're worth more than 2 million a year.

[ducks]

jav does not even think he can play in the nba he was worried about playing time when rasho and nazr were spurs

No, I think that a lot of us would rather just wait until things really matter and make an assessment after some of those games. Who knows, maybe they're doing things with him that don't lend themselves well to stats. Nobody here has really seen the games - so the opinions are worthless. I'd much rather trust the opinions of those that have seen him play. And that's not most of you yahoos - except the odd Lithuanian posters.

Plus, you guys are too quick to judge - bet you lose your loads the same way.

Yet you try and back up guys like Mr. Body who have... *wait for it*..... never seen him play :wow

Look, I wanted Javtokas to be the man. I even bought into the idea of him starting next to Tim.

But his play so far in the past week seems to indicate that the Spurs management was right in thinking he wasn't worth any more than the 2 million a year or so they offered him, and that all the Javtokas nut riders like Mr. Body need to STFU and let the front office make their call.

After all, I'm pretty sure RC, Pop, etc. have seen him play much more than anyone on this site.

[Burly_Man]

We all remember Javtokas from Athens 2004, he was one of the top players at Euro 2005, (Honorable Mention for the All Tournament Team) and now he both sucks and blows?

And no one knows, outside of Javtokas, Rudoy and the Spurs FO, how much he was asking for. I doubt it was 2 million USD.

He's not trying to convince anyone he's worth 2 million, that's what he thought he was doing last year. He's already signed with Panathinaikos, so he's just out there trying not to get hurt before the World Championships, not show too much of the Lithuanian Playbook, and get the team on the same page.

This would be a more relevant topic after next season when we see what Elson can do for the Spurs, and how Javtokas fares for Panathinaikos.
