France quite unimpressive in the first quarter but they're always capable on going fast runs and improving their defense given their athleticism.

LTU doing a good job on the boards and slowing the game. Even a few nice offensive plays.

Also, does this thread take forever to refresh because its at 120 pages?

France looks lost after playing in such a weak group.

France forcing way too many tough passes in traffic

Why did they take JV out so fast after only playing under 5 mins?

JV asks for the ball so many times while posting up and rarely gets it. Are the guards afraid to throw it in there?

LTU best passers are Kleiza and Maciulis and they are no guards so there you have your answer.

I assume yes, because there was a ton of fail passes to JV in previous games so they are no longer so eager to give them to JV.

Iso posts ups for JV have gone nowhere 80% of the times. He's much better in the PnR game or putbacks.

Well LTU can't complain being up by 4 at the half. It will be important to keep the +/- close for the Group's purpose. JV has 7 pts and a few rbs. I'd like to see him start at C and have Lav move to PF over Kleiza.

France has woken up. I don't think Lithuania will stick this one out.

Kleiza sucks... why are they continuing to run the offense through him? He's like 1-8.

And Lav can't guard Ajinca. Put in JV. Wtf
