Eurobasket 2011: Turkey - lithuania match is starting now. :) Live match link here :)

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Kanter misses a wide open 8 footer

He doesn't appear to have confidence in his stand still jumper. He hesitates too much on it.

 

[sepanol]

enes needs to work on his jump shoot. But honestly we are a much better team than lithuania

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The only game he dominated in friendlies was against that midget team, whose name escapes me.

Maybe dominates was a strong word, but he put up numbers (relative to these games).

 

[aaquaa]

35-32 Turkey @half. Good game.

 

[NUMBERICA]

In my defense, Valanciunas is usually #15. And yes, most players on that team look the same. It is ****ing weird.

 

[Jazz4ever]

This game is probably not the best time for Kanter to start working on his mid range game.

 

[underKANTER]

best games with the worst streams -.-

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Is anyone listening to the game with commentary? Are the commentators talking about why Jonas is not playing?

The ESPN3 stream is really good quality, just no commentary.

Jonas must be injured. It would make 0 sense to not play a guy who was dominating the friendlies before the tournament, and just dominated his U19 tournament.

In most teams veterans get minutes over young players because they are veterans. If Turkey had Gonlum and Erden - Kanter would not get as many minutes as he is getting now. LT coach tries to play small and fast, must be his tactical decision. So as much as I or everybody wants to see Enes vs JV now we will need to wait probably for another year until JV is playing for Raptors. Unless some of LT frontline gets injured or fouls out.

Confidence might not be there, but everything else is. He has excellent form for a big. If I had to describe his game to someone who has never seen him play in four words I would say: Kevin Love on meth.

In my defense, Valanciunas is usually #15. And yes, most players on that team look the same. It is ****ing weird.

He is #11. He was #15 for junior team. In friendlies he was #17.
