51 - 55 after 2 qtrs. :lol:

^Yeah, but you have to admit this is a surprising show of discipline by Lithuania. Where was this effort against France and Argentina? Or the past three months?

Jonas sitting, but I understand it this case - Team USA has sat Chandler and gone small. And LIT hanging in with great spacing and ball movement. The veterans have that familiarity. Team USA not shooting nearly as well as they have in the tournament, and Team USA's D on the perimeter is shaky. Deron Williams gets no prize for his D.

I think they've self-motivated today. After what the US did to Nigeria, there is an instinct here to lose with dignity, and that requires a lot of energy against the US.

LTU played well against France and lost the game in one quarter. Some of these other teams just have more firepower so it is what it is.

LTU also couldn't of played any better against the US. They are lucky that they're FG % is so high.

I'm not even mad that Jonas hasn't played considering it's only a 4 pt lead, and more importantly, that the matchup isn't good for him to be defending the likes of Carmelo. Play him against Love but not Carmelo.

What he do? I was showering at halftime and missed the first minute or so.

Wow Jonas barely gets off the ground. People weren't lying when they were saying he's a below average jumper. Good thing he's long I guess.

Pick and roll layup finish at the rim to open the half.

Well I'm going to assume that's the last we see of Jonas this game...

Wtf! I'm as big a Kobe fan there is but that was an offensive foul. Hope Jonas is alright.

Protect your NECK not the NET Jonas

Better officiating than than the NBA. Kobe getting called for a travel, LeBron getting called for a pushoff. The NBA should hire these refs.
