It’s not like it gets better the further west you go, with Sweden, Norway and Denmark. Venture all the way to England and you’ll really suck. Proximity to Russia are per capita gains in basketball.

And every player is in a bad situation, KJ being the least scrutinized as expectations on him are not that high yet. Sabonis horrible and is begging to leave, Matas underperforming. Looks like this record wont get better soon

These names are weird. I’ve never seen a Lithuanian or Latvian player without first and last name ending in -s

cRustea0

3 | 4 hours ago

basically every noun in lithuanian is gendered male or female. If the word ends with an -s it means the noun is male.

Temporary_Buy_7470

Around 90% lithuanian surnames end in -s, around 10% in -a (like Darius Songaila) and about 1% in -ė

Wait for them to go home for a national team event then nuke them to save the NBA? Or is that too much?

Teams with Lithuanian players are now a combined 3-30 to start the NBA season
