OK, maybe it's time to you to stop writing crap about Motiejunas? "Incredibly inefficient scoring ability". You sound like a complete troll or never saw Motiejunas playing. Stop writing a crap, please.

Maybe you stop being hypocritical towards Lithuanian players? Guy is incredibly inefficient, period. Prove me wrong, lets go.

1.22 PPS for 7'1 guy who takes over 3 3PT attempts per game is efficient? Its a complete joke.

I'm fine with Val doing either .. However,

Will he even be playing very much if the LT NT make it?

We'll have our answer soon. If they pass PR, they should qualify. Hope people here going to watch the game, and i hope Los Manos have ENG streams prepared, because Lithuanian one will go down you can bet your ass...

He should play every game, and then it depends how he plays.

Val is again a top story on NBA.com, when did any Raptors rookie get that kind of attention before even playing a minute in the league?

Not gonna lie, I won't be cheering for Lithuania tonight, I would much rather him in the weight room back in T.O

Greece - Nigeria starts now.

Lets go Nigeria :lol:

Los Manos · Post #1249 » by **Los Manos** » Fri Jul 6, 2012 6:20 pm

Decent start for Nigeria against Greece. Who are they coached by?

21-21 End of the 1st Quarter.

It gives hope, maybe Lithuania is not that bad, maybe Nigeria is really that good?

Their coach is this guy

From reading a few articles the Nigerian coach, Ayo Bakare, seemed really confident coming into this tournament that Nigeria would get a place at the Olympics. Apparently they have made great strides with their domestic basketball program the last few years and are starting to see a lot of home grown talents coming through.

Did you see that behind the back pass by Bourousis? A shame they missed and then got dunked on on the other side of the court.

Yeah that was preeeeetttttyyyy! As you say, too bad the corner 3 was missed and Aminu took off down the other end for a dunk.

Damn, Lithuanian BBC commercials.

Puerto Rico is an athletic team. We're going to need to have Kleiza play strong tonight. Lets go Lithuania!

Meh, this is Denver days Kleiza, shame he got that injury.

UcanUwill · Post #1259 » by **UcanUwill** » Fri Jul 6, 2012 7:20 pm

No one ever uploaded my favorite Kleiza dunk of OLY days. The one where he grabbed offensive board after missed FT and just hard dunked in Sasha Kaun's face, and even kicked him while was still hanging on the rim.

Tie game. Can be an epic upset.
