It's great to see how active JV is moving his feet defensively.
Basketball is like poetry in motion, cross the guy to the left, take him back to the right, he's fallin back, then just J right in his face. Then you look at him and say, "What?" - Jesus Shuttlesworth

******* Awesome!!

Kazlauskas has too many rotations and subs too frequently.

Its so loud in there you can't even hear the whistles.

I love seeing a national team getting pumped up. LTU is bringing it today.

I like that LT is playing according to the plan today. Everything is inside, nobody is looking to jack long jumpers. Macedonia keeps fouling.

LTU playing really well. Combination of energy and good offensive flow. And they're packing the paint albeit letting Macedonia hoist 3s.

Slovenia & Spain is a tight game at halftime.

Whole half's work nearly undone by fouling a fatass sat the three point line and then lipping off about it.

Refs has no pity or hesitation in this game.

Motiejunas is interesting one. When growing up, he was, lets say one dimensional enigma scorer. Not he is growing into versatile glue guy (?), who does a lot of things that not necessarily shows up on paper. He is really the best when he is not trying to score IMO.
I think my hatred towards him was enchanted, because he was playing for that delusional Pacesas guy.

What a stupid ending of the quarter. Instead of having double digit lead only 6 pts left.

LT commentator now thinks JV taking 13 foot jumper is a terrible option. Sums it all up...

Every shot Macedonia takes looks like a hail mary

And we know he can. He does it. But the guy who calls the game didn't knew that! Thats what I mean.
It was his first attempted jumper for LT team this year. Why?

He should make something like 65% of them. However, the sample size now is 1.

Also, it's easy to shoot in one motion as opposed to doing a pump fake or a jab. He needs to be decisive as he catches it. The one he just attempted was a hesitant one.
