Murauskas, Sirvydis
Tubelis, Krivas -
New Zeland begins and ends with Kirk Penney. That's not enough to beat Kleiza and company. -
I'm predicting that the Tall Blacks get annihilated by 30 points by Lithuania. Unfortunately, this Tall Blacks squad is not like back in 2002 when they reached the Semi-Finals. However, who knows, these Kiwis always pull something special out of the hat whenever they play sport, for example, their football team: "The All Whites" when the team were the only football team in the World Cup to finish undefeated. That's right! Undefeated as they played 3 games and drew all of their games. Who knows, Kirk Penney could do a Magic Johnson/ Michael Jordan performance: 35 pts, 18rbs, 13 asts, 4 stls, 3 blks 10/15fg ... etc but of course, I doubt it."No hay poder en el mundo que pueda cambiar el destino"

New Zealand's weakness is their best player Kirk Penney.. shut him down and Lithuania will win it.. but I'm not gonna say they're going to loss right away... anything can happen.. they may not be able to go to the next round but they can be one of the spoilers... inflict enough damage to ruin one of the basketball powers' world champ campaign...

Anything happens in the World Championships ...
It's so true that anything can happen in the World Championships. Everyone still remembers when Lithuania barely defeated Angola or back in 1994 when South Korea gave Australia the fright of their lives."No hay poder en el mundo que pueda cambiar el destino"

More than 10 pointsComment

Dont underestimate New Zealand. They know how to play basketball, and know how to do it with heart.
Personally I expect quite a close match for 3 and a half, o even full 4 quaters.
I wish both teams the best of luck.Comment

New Zealand is quite unpredictable team... I really doubt that Lithuania will smash them hard...
All in all should be monster run&gun... Most probably 180 points game...Comment

we can't count on new Zealand results in the preparation games: they won against big teams, but lost easy matches.
I suppose that new zealand results are unstable lately.
Anything can happen, but i give a small advantage to LithuaniaComment
