Man, i dont't joke. Stupid to say, that Jasikevičius and EL-Amin themselves win games. It was all team merit, including Trifunovičius. This coach motivated team very good, and a few games he built very aggressive, good defense. Trifunovič is demanding, strong coach. And Maskoliūnas is soft, you know.. When he coached "Žalgiris", his result was very poor.. And work with "Aisčiai" not modified his reputation. In my opinion, Trifunovič is better than Maskoliunas.

Yes, he fucked up one time, but Maskoliunas do the same in LKL finals...

I'm not saying that Jasikevičius and El-Amin themselves won but they were the KEY to success, not Trifunovič. Trif did good job only in few games (including one against Panathinaikos in Athens where substitutions were good and really in time)..who motivate who? I don't think players needed someone to motivate them to play EUROLEAGUE games. The most of players just signed Lietuvos Rytas only to play in Euroleague because their dreamed of that and that was great opportunity to set their price in market...what do you think, won't any richer team want Bjelica or Gecevičius?

And Trifunovič don't get along with players after he started blaming them in media (rumors spread about having bad relationships with players after that) ..Maskoliūnas can't be worse because Trifunovič was the worst...C'mon, they even didn't show anything new...have you read interview with Dairis Bertans? He said that VEF played good defense because Rytas didn't show anything new, only same game they played all season long, that's why they won.
