Lithuania has very good team, I wouldn't be very surprised, if they beat France.

Sabonis is overrated and Val needs a good playmaker to be effettive, i think France is way better.

Man, I'm down with Schroeder on vet min, second unit of Schroeder, Bullock, THJ, Bertans and MAxi, is lethal combination of defense + shooting with Schroeder dribble penetration.

Not long ago, the same French squad compete with us for Olympics gold. But Germany beat France in a crazy fashion.

This no. 4 is unbelievable. I think Dirk never has as good backcourt teammates in the duo for the national team.

Batum and De Colo were their best player in the Olympics IMO, and they are missing both of them, Frank also would've helped, Fournier isn't a dependable guy, Slovenia was within a blocked layup in the semis only because of Fournier mistakes.

I was shocked that you have written those 3 names in the same sentence. ;)

I knew that Nando and Batum were not playing, that's why I said that Lithuania is better team.
