    Good game by Lithuania so far. They actually run plays and play some Defense - unlike Nigeria or Tunisia.

    With Motiejunas, Lithuania definitely would have a shot at winning. Now, I don't see them winning because they consistently miss easy shot and the US will come out with a better effort in the 2nd half.

    USA stealing balls like crazy but can't convert. Nice cheap high low shot from Kobe to Valuncias.

    After free stroking on Nigeria, USA can't hit the open jumpers today against better competition.

    Team USA is playing crappy basketball, only shoot or drive. If shots are not falling, Lithuania uses help defense on the drives and team USA answers with an empty possessions

    It looks like Kevin Love has the yips at the free throw line.

    If Team USA continues to iso on offense, they risk losing the game. The standing around has got to stop.

    The US should drop the word team in front of it, they are far from it. All iso ball 1-on-1 and shooting threes. Also the US tries to get bailed out by the refs, they should be ashamed.

    Durant jacking like he's got the hot hand, only problem is that he's cold as the north pole.

    23 TOs for Lietuva, 7 for us, and they're only trailing by 9? Wow.

    Can't say that LeBron is unclutch anymore. That talk should be DEAD.
