Wow, the Lithuanians turn it over after some moderate full court pressure. The guard has to be able to beat his man in the open court.

Val needs to learn how to read the defense better....

The Lithuanian guard play has been rather lackluster this game.

Watching NBA draft preview on ESPN. Quick mention of JV. Fran Fraschilla reminding the panel that Jonas will be coming over and saying he thinks he'd go number 2 behind Davis. Nothing new.

Alexey Shved has quietly been tearing up the Lithuanian defense. Penetrating into the paint and creating with drop offs or kickouts or making plays on the fastbreak

That was an absurd call. That came way after the buzzer.

Lithuania seem to be doing alright though- Russia seem to have more big Euro names right in their primes than Ltu for these Olympics.

JV is all hands, he is going to be a foul machine his first year in the NBA.

Lth guards are horrible.

Nash/Jose type pnr guard will do wonders for JV offensively.

Yeah, the Lithuanian guards have been dreadful! Throwing the balls out of bounds, folding under full court pressure, not getting in the lane. It has been painful.
