Lithuania is 9/9 from 3 btw.

That's unsustainable but still, Montenegro shot 5/20 last game and it was close until the end.
A team that gets that hot from 3 can definitely beat the americans.

Ok Kessler in.
Let's see if the USA can be a little more aggressive defending the 3-point line with Kessler behind them. (Since JJJ just wanna foul today)

you know those pictures of Brazilian highways usually vs Brazilian highways when their Soccer team plays?

Well, currently in Lithuania, I keep hearing literal shouting outside, or from other buildings, appartments.

Edwards has to see Ingram wide open in the corner instead of taking that tough rim attempt against help.

Yup, what a choke job against Puerto Rico. Should have won that one.

If Canada loses against Spain then Brazil makes the Olympics directly, since they won against the Canadians.


Yea their lack of experience killed them in the end. Towns has been good in both games. Today Montero stepped up despite having very little pro experience, but they would have needed Feliz to have another game with 6 to 7 threes, but he can't get clean looks against the tall serbs. Horford would have been a huge help.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

i took them at +14.5 so i hope they sustain this before the eventual US comback for a safe cover. Took US+2.5 live so i might just sleep through this and wait for both wins. LOL
