The game is on. Spain leads 24-20

Edit: Does anyone knows where´s Calderon?

Injured. He was doubtful until today.

He's on the bench due to the injury. When spanish players are making a 3 pointer they are making his gesture

Jose has a groin injury from the Croatia game.

Lithuania has a good statgey, although it seemed liked they wre conceeding a little too much to Spain by putting them on the line at a high rate, but they are doing a great job at driving on Spain's D.

Why the hell do Spain use so many substitutions?

Coach Aito likes to rotate his players a lot, and change them in bunches.

Two stupid decisions and a 0-6 parcial...

50/50 game here folks, If the Liths can play the Gasols slightly even then they are in good shape because there guards aint scared. But it is a big if.

Rudy has been bad, really bad, He´s chucking threes and misses layups like madman.
It seems that Spanish offense is not very consistent due to all these substitutions.

No team defend worse the 3 point line than Spain.

Spanish offense is like USA 2002-2006. Individualism, one vs one, no team offense...

hehe it took Snapper a quarter to wake up..now he's clowning.

Funny how Lithuania takes spains opening flurry and gives a shot right back. Now Spain cries a little bit more after every call against them.

FIBA refs strike again as they bail Rudy out after getting swatted cleanly.

Spain needs Carlos JImenez on the court, badly. And Ricky is smarter at 17 than people like Navarro or Garbajosa...

Ref, are you f-n blind.

i dont want to keep building the hype..but i love Ricky Rubios defense, he stands out on defense..you dont see that a lot from PG.

Man I wonder if Spain has a training session for flopping...anyway Lithuania's leading thanks to great 3pt shooting but I don't think they can keep this form. Spain will win this game. Navarro is looking miserable btw.

The whole rotation has been ridiculous IMO. It's very inconsistent.

Spain have looked very ordinary in this tournament.

+1
For me it seems that their players are taking everything as granted plus their coach really, really sucks

What's the score?
