Well, I dont know what she is talking about (maybe because I cant speak Spanish? :lol:) But when did Lithuanians were fine with their desecrated National anthem? What is she is talking about? And yes, Kleiza is a "patán".
Hope shes done, or she will learn how you dont mess with Lithuanian basketball fans on the internet, that twitter account can go down just like that... :lol:

Think it was headed at this chick http://twitter.com/mechecelta... what does it mean?

Aclaro: respeto al pueblo Lituano y no apoyo el irrespeto a su himno y cultura.. Solo puedo decir q "la figura NBA" Kleiza, es un patán! Fin

It's possible. I know there was a guy or two from the Raptors organization during the game so it was probably him.

Seems like LK said something in the post game interview that didn't sit well with that reporter. Something about not being a professional? At least that's what I got from using a translating site to see what twitter was saying.

Something like that. Also seems like he said something along the lines of Venezuela sucks... the word guevo was tweeted and its a pretty bad word I think judging unfortunately from quick internet search. Not exactly sure about the context. Mmaybe that's when he pointed to it during the Venezuelan game... idk.

Hopefully everyone will be safe. That country is f-ed up as it is. Before the PR game the LTU bus mysteriously broke down because it ran out of oil. The LTU team also complained about a lack of water once. A team practice was relocated to a second practice facility one day, whereas they were supposed to practice in the main building.... this happened as the bus was on the road and they had to drive around in traffic and so forth. Too many coincidences. Hopefully they will only be internet problems.

He's pretty far along for a big considering he just turned 20.


Bargs & Gray will play against them .

Over simplification. Horford had a terrible team. Jonas has much better players surrounding him.
