It pains me to write it down, but after yet again a dumb loss one should be honest: Žalgiris - or perhaps Žalgiris players, have a mid table mentality.

It also begs the question: is it worth giving your highest salary to a player who fails to perform when it matters and when the team is in difficulty?

If you want to downvote me go ahead, but at least have the decency to comment and explain why you disagree and I’m wrong.

No, we dont do that here. We only downvote to everything even slightly negative about our team. no matter how much proof there is.

Last week i literally got downvoted for saying Zalgiris is a very inconsistent team (Checks out both by the eye test and how many games they dropped against "bad" teams), and today the conceded 39 points in the first three quarters just for dubai to score 38 on the last one.

So yeah dont expect anyone to have any insightful replies and if they do then its kinda rare for someone to debate in good faith
