Once again Lithuanians let their opponents lead in the beginning. Somehow I feel that they will come back once again.

yeah, it seems usual for me. I'm feeling kinda strange about it and I think everything gonna end like in the last two our games.

As soon as French stopped making their 3pointers, their whole ofence stopped as well. They don't look so good going to the basket.

On the other hand, Lithuanian ofence does not look good too. Somehow overpowered by French athleticism, and the 3 pointers are still not back. Maybe Jasaitis would change things?
 
and what a comeback again in this game by Lithuania,what a hard to die team it has become.
Let's see if France can come back as well..doesn't look probable to me.

What's the name of the bet365 commentator?I think I'm ready to send my first threatening email.
 
Lithuania is very hot and cold this tournament. France killed Lithuania in the first quarter: France 24, Lithuania 11. To start the third quarter, Lithuania is scored 20 and France only scored 5!!

Ya know, I'm not sayin' for all those who is against Lithuania, but here are some people who very dislike Lithuania. And here are Lithuanians who don't believe in our team - I don't like them, because if you're for something, then you believe and nothing else matters. :)
 
I'm still not convinced that this LT team is contender for medals here - we are winning thanks to our hustle and heart, but we are also lacking a lot, like frontline strenght and star power (apart from Kleiza). What I DO like about these guys is that they feel like underdogs in every match and play relaxed and pressure-free most of the time.

+17 by now. Could anyone believe that, after 1st q?

Yes, I could (look at my previous posts). French look terrible for majority of the game, and even in the first quarter they were vulnerable under the baskets.

Yeah, when you watch, you can see many bad things in Lithuanians' games, but we manage to win and as long it will be like that, then I'm happy and I'm proud of our team because of that fighting spirit. :)

hot_sauce23, I believed.
 
Partial 41-12 für Lithuania. Biggest brain fade of WC for France. :D
 
Yeah it makes three with Spain and New Zealand. While I don't care much about Lithuanian team, these comebacks are most impressive, gotta give them that.

France without Parker is boring as hell.No offense whatsoever.
 
You can't have offense without decent center. And anyway we were outmuscled - not a surprise to see kleiza & maciulis leading the boxscore, we could defend during 1st half but that was it - and guys gave up way too fast.
Flo pietrus would have brought much more toughness but that's the way it is. Bench was awful today furthermore.

2nd 1/4 was when lit coach started playing a lot zone D and we sunk quite fast. Can't bring the ball inside = death. (tyhat and the zero half court Defense in second half, can't leave a team running the fastbreak like we did)

Congrats lithuania, needless to say it's well deserved win.
