As I claimed before. Lithuania was the easiest opponent in the QF. What has happened in this game is rather natural. Lithuania doesn't have the talent to put up with this level at all times. Last year they had great momentum in order to reach the final, but it can't happen every year.PAO EUROPEAN CHAMPION 1996 - 2000 - 2002 - 2007 - 2009 - 2011 - 2024

of the 12 quarters in the last three games Lithuania won 2.
but even this 2/12 is better then their three point shooting percentage.
edit: they did manage to win another one. 3/12."Heja, heja Cibosi, hrabri kao vukovi,

Australia has a great run in the tournament so far but we don't need to get overexcited about them. We all heard a lot of high-flown talk about 'terrific' Canadian and Australian prospects who will dominate both NBA and international basketball in a couple of years but so far out of them all only Wiggins evolved into a legit NBA star.2013/2014 IBN Euroleague Prediction Game Winner

But interesting fact, Canada team boasts Cory Joseph and Tristan Thompson, also players of nba champion teams (Thompson from the recent nba champs) and somehow Francde beat them and canada supporting cast in Manila is much better than the Australians..To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
1 Big 4 small > 5 out offense.

I just hope that everything is fair in the final 4 and no zebras were involved fto setup the us australia rivalry for the future.. The boomers deserve more, and for selfish purposes I dont want that Australian defense to have their leeway on what would be called foul or not especially in the Asian level..To becomes Asia's Best, we need to compete against the World's Best..
