[white men can't jump]

+1 That stings. Could have cut it to three or two

Made me want to watch this Maggette gem again (great for a laugh, could watch it all day):

wow.....epically bad turnover

Seen way too many totally dumb turnovers by Lithuania this tournament.

Agreed. Did you watch that Maggette one though? It's by far the worst turnover I've ever seen

[Ambidextrious]

Lithuania is out of the Olympics in basketball. It was and interesting experience for Jonas, where I hope he learned a lot. Now its time to rest for a bit then get ready for training camp with his new squad. He should start off by hitting the weight room and working on his body. He will have his work cut out for him this year. Good Luck Jonas and best wishes.

You or someone else posted it in another Lithuania game; it's just the bobcats, most of their guys were unsure what colour their shirt was whole season.

LOL that play always gets me.

+1 man if i was president of Lithuania i would rescind JASIKEVICIUS's citizenship immediately. I think the next best option is not having him on the team come next Olympics. I think he is the main culprit lol

I love that Maggette even starting moving like it was a give and go before realizing he passed it to the other team

[themasao]

Is it just me, or does Kleiza not give a fuck about anything. Including losing at the olympics. Just sayin...

To be fair, the other guy really looked like he was posting up...

I don't doubt his passion at all. I actually totally respect the effort he plays the game with, it's just like his face is always VOID of emotion. I'm more impressed than anything actually. Like when he was in all those scuffles last year -- smile on his face the whole time. It's just weird.

Haha sounds like a psychopath to me

A sarcastic smile probably wont get you in trouble with the ref like complaining about a call would, unless the ref is danny crawford...

That is why he is my favourite Raptor.

The man is cold-blooded.

The Raptors showed an increased level of toughness and aggression last year. I can't wait to throw a healthy Kleiza and newly acquired Lowry in to the mix.

[Nilanka]

Now that Lithuania shit themselves vs. Russia, let's get Valanciunas's skinny ass here ASAP, and into the ACC's weight room!

Anywhere where I can catch the game? ctvolympics.ca isn't letting me watch the recorded game.

sorry..not sure where to watch it but i'd like to see it again too. I watched some of it, LTU fell behind, JV wasn't playing, it turned it off. Then i checked in on this thread, saw JV was playing, turned it back on and saw in was close again. JV played great, they kept it close. Then he was injured/benched and Russia pulled away again. I know it's not all JV but I can't wait to see him in the red and white. or purple. or camouflage ..or whatever.

just saw this over at prosportsdaily.com
bc to the rescue

i am not one of the fans in a tizzy. i think he played well when on the court and i think if he was given a fair chance for time he would have been one of the better players on the lituanian team. his foul rate was not great but he could have played more even with his fouls. i think in a tournament like this the coach wanted players he could count on not to foul at inconvienient times and more experienced vets.
