Jonas Valanciunas has looked like the most prepared Raptor in the first two games of the post-season, playing with intensity and consistency, while not taking a moment for granted. It also helps that Jonas views his low-post match-up, Marcin Gortat, as one of his personal rivals.
As such, Valanciunas knows what to expect when it comes to the Wizards’ centre. “We know each other’s moves... maybe he didn’t have it going last game, but that’s not what you can expect from him on Friday. He’s going to come out with special energy and special motivation to play.
