Manu not playing, Sarunus still looks like he's playing in concrete hightops. 14-13 Lithuania late in the first

For those that are still wondering, yes Sarunus still holds the NBA record for the most times a player has picked up his dribble before getting to halfcourt.

Is the gold medal game right after this game or there some time in between? I'm trying to make sense of the NBC program schedule.

the gold medal game is suppose to be right after this one with probably a small break like usual.

Cool, thanks. I'm at the office right now and I don't want to watch the last Team USA game on a PC. :)

Scola picking right up where he left off against the U.S.

Argentina 8/14 on three pointers, when they're hot like that they don't even need Ginobili.

Lithuania again wins their entire pool play going undefeated but walks home with absolutely nothing. It's gotta suck for them.

Nah,other then Spain Luthuania was the most over rated roster. It's a shame Spain is actually going to get the silver. Argentina deserves to medal. I wish they were in the opposite bracket. They should be in the finals, not spain.
