I didn't see that game. I was on a flight (Turin-London). But in a terminal I switched on my mobile and got a lot of SMS from my girlfriend with minute-by-minute scores... I was shocked a little bit. I can't imagine how it came...

I don't see any Butautas mistakes, Jasikevicius played as bad as he can, after one season on the bench he can't play 8 games in a row.

You don't see any Butautas mistakes?
If there is someone that can be blamed than that person is Butautas!!!

First of all, two of our best players (Lavrinovic brothers) spent like 10 minutes together on the court that day. Which is just unbelievable! To take our two of our best guys from such a serious game. Kleiza and Songaila were struggling and were making mistakes under the offensive basket, but still, they were allowed to play.

Then, Jasaitis played a wonderful first half of the game and scored 2 or 3 threepointers. I didn't even see this guy on the court during the 4th quarter.

And as a coach, how long do you wait to call a time-out? Until your team loses a segment of 6 points or 16??? The coach had to change something radically right away in the first quarter, and not wait until his team starts trailing by 19 pts!!!

And regarding Jasikevicius, don't blame him, since Butautas is the one who allowed Saras to play during the last seconds anyway. Even though, Saras did not show anything during the game and was injured, he was still allowed to play.

I didn't see the game but know that Lavrinovic got a son... maybe brothers celebrate that?..
That could be a reason of their minutes amount in this game. What do You think?..
