[Day 2] Game A/4: Poland - Lithuania

[babdelkader]

Lituania is the best team in europe, if I would not say in the world.
All the way Lituania...
I expect to see Lituania-Serbia in the final.

[babdelkader]

Poljska! cause lithuania is overrated

man !!!!!
you have the best team in europe !!!
don't underestimate you team.

[Silvio]

Lithuania is just mediocre team, but Poland is simply awful.
LTU to win by around 10.

Let us not determine the level of mediocracy on the performances of opening game - d'you really think such teams like SPAIN, CROATIA, SLOVENIA, LITHUANIA, RUSSIA and FRANCE are not medal contenders anymore? Just because they won by a slight margin and did not perform so well as expected. Who's not mediocre then - Turkey? Georgia? Germany?.. Greece (know u luv them, don't you?)
Even the ones who lost yesterday - Italy, Poland, Latvia, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Finland, Ukraine - still have not lost anything at all so calling Poland completely awful is also too dumb.

I've tried to reason with him but there's no point realy.

Threre's no chance him to respect Lithuanian basketball. It's the same thing as for me with my attidute towards japanese food. Don't like it... can't explain why

No way Poland is winning in Lithuania, no way.

[turk-jugoslav]

Go Poland,It is not hard to win!!
It is only joke.Easy match for Lithuania

[surfer]

Lithuania should be very careful, personally I don't need a Poland win because in that case Lithuania will be much more motivated tomorrow
Too bad Turkish tv is broadcasting Italy-Germany

It's nice to see Songaila playing well again after yesterday's match,in which he was the worst player on the court.I hope that Valanciunas will get some more time,because so far he looked really good,but for some reason Kemzura doesn't want to keep him on the court.

[lafa]

How many passes didn't Valanciunas catch already? I counted at least 4...

[Gytaz]

Perhaps this game will shut Valančiūnas fan-boys up and they'll stop bashing Kemzūra. But probably not.

IMO, all the hype really doesn't help him and that's one of the reasons behind the unusually high number of turnovers.

Anyway, congrats, the team looked absolutely great offensively (except in the final few minutes).

Wishful thinking.

Five turnovers, five personal fouls and only two rebounds in eighteen minutes today. Worse yet Poland outscored Lithuania when Valančiūnas was on the court in the fourth quarter.

IMO, all the hype really doesn't help him and that's the reason behind the unusually high number of turnovers.

I suspect it probably had more to do with Valančiūnas trying too hard, which of course is what Kemzūra feared would happen. And that's why Kemzūra waited until the fourth quarter today when the game was won to give Valančiūnas serious playing time.
