Ofcourse not he wouldnt even be first pick from basketball team - you need to prove in Olympics something first. Discus thrower Alekna will be carring it.

Check this guy's medal stack and you will know why Jonas had no chance whatsoever.

Impressive. Lithunaia for a population of less than 5 million produces excellent athletes

I'm a bit worried, Argentina must be bat sh*t mad after that humiliating defeat in 2010.

^ Yes. and that game plan tends to fail when the opposition is ready. Take a look at Macednian game last year.
On the other hand, that team is like retirement castle :

Scola : 32y. old.
Nocioni : 32y.
Delfino : 29
Ginobili : 35
Prigioni : 35

Jasen : 34
Guttierez : 34
Kammerichs : 32
Leiva : 32

Can't wait.

For this game Javtokas will be missed he shut down Scola while playing on one leg himself in 2010 worlds. I hope Scola wont be beast again like in 2010 tournament averaged 27ppg. Coach probably will use big rotation this game and tell everybody to run all game long so olds guys from Argentina would get tired .

Up tempo offense and aggressive, frequent rotations is an obvious game plan. Scola will be hard to stop, but since he is their starting C this time, I think their defensive tasks might be even more complicated. Lithuanians should go inside more this time, and if they adds Jonas to their offensive plans, Scola should be exposed defensively.
