JV plays awesome and still gets benched.

well Lithuania went 'small' with twins, but now they're paying the price.

Jv !!!

Lithuania wins despite it's bonehead coach. Kazlauskas is a stubborn fool. He has an obvious bias against NBA players to the detriment of the team.

Lithuania won.

Jonas finished with 22 PTS, 13 REB, 3 BLK and 35 efficiency points.

Oh my God!!
This one player on Serbia posterized the Greece Centre

Jonas looked like a man amongst boys.

Well he was playing against boys. Nice to see him dominate.

Day off for @usabasketball. Players hung out, strolled, jet skied, rented Segways. I saw a few at hotel gym (& Coach K).

I'm told one U.S. player, @DeMar_DeRozan, found his way to the arena to get up some off-day shots...

Playing twins, isn't playing small.

You are all blind, because you only want to watch JV.. there was not a single movement made against NBA players. And playing 26 min on LT team is a lot. And JV is playing second most minutes in a team in this tournament, while Motiejunas is 4th.

Jonas looked like a man amongst boys.

Because New Zealand has no big men. The only 6'11'' player played 8 minutes. The rest are 6'8'' at most.


But sure JV did good anyway.

@irgigi, both twins can shoot 3s, right?

[Vykis]

This game the coach really overplayed the twins, NZ doesn't have any tall players so LT couldn't exploit their advantage inside, because their offensive skillset is more perimeter oriented (Bargnani skillset, except they don't suck on defense) and while they were on the floor NZ came back. JV beasted today and without him we wouldn't have won

They can. But i wouldn't call it playing small, more like stretching floor line up or so. But it doesn't really matter, how you call it

Ya I just checked their height.. Both twins are 6"11, just like JV.

Serbia up 64-55 heading into 4th against Greece

And Greece gets destroyed. Thought it would be a tighter game, and was looking for Greece to build off their very strong (perfect) group phase. Didn't watch but it seems like Greece came out flat and Serbia came out pumped.
