Serbia closing the half strong.

LTU collapse starting from the Kavaliauskas foul that halved the deficit. Since then they have no idea what they're doing. One wasted offensive possession after another.

Luckily I'm just watching the box score so I can't even get riled up.

And I'm used to it. Serbian basketball is a lot like the Raptors - we typically choke in the most ridiculous, creative way imaginable or are screwed by the refs when we actually deserve to win something.

Pretty much my whole life is full of disappointment and crushing heart break.

I like what I see - JV 3 BS in quite limited time. + some 10 points, quite good performance, don't you think? :party:

Poor refereeing so far. Mistakes go both ways (that goalattend and many others). Out of memory I can name these 5 favouring Serbia:

Maciulis second foul. Not even contact, not even a bit. Let alone contact worth a foul.
Kavaliauskas second foul. Again no contact.
Raduljaca block on Kavaliauskas. Touched nothing but Kavaliauskas elbows/wrists.
Kavaliauskas "foul" on Raduljaca when Serbia scored 3+2. Flop by Raduljaca.
Serbia shot when ball rolled on the top of the board. Ball should have been given to Lithuania. Instead, Lithuania later commited foul and 2 fts were made.

Not a good refereeing, for sure. So many bogus calls and non-calls going both ways... Kavaliauskas particularly unlucky.

Relax bro! Just rewind to Turk's bricking, Bargs' lazy rebounding with no defense. Your Serbs don't look so hopeless. Anyway, I wish LT a win, sorry.

Just wow. Seibutis gets fouled in the same way Serbs didn't get fouled.

Too many unforced turnovers by Lithuania.

Lithuania mistakes letting Serbia back into the game again.

Can't keep giving a team chances. That's how you lose a game you should win.

Kalnietis is doing wonders... Must be tired.

Return to Toronto Raptors
