    Watched whole match and saw only one, once he was blocked at the end of the game tho. It's common that in friendlys sometime stats goes wrong way.

    weak game for Lithuania, missed FT's for DMo again. But he did pretty good job in the paint offensively today :)

    Printezis, the guy with 23pt at 69% shooting, is a PF, aka his match-up, by the way. I didn't see the match, but that's what stands out from that box score.

    Motiejūnas played 16 mins Printezis played 23 mins, plus half the time D-MO played as center, so it wasn't really his matchup. I'm not telling D-MO was perfect on the defensive end though, but all team strugled in that game - lots of open men for greece no matter the lihuanian rotation.

    Lithuania is expected to make their finals two roster cuts after todays game, so this might be it for D-Mo.
    Apparently they are going to cut at least one guard. Still deciding whether to go with 5 or 6 bigs.
    Some Lithuanian sports book is actually taking money on who'll get cut. D-Mo is not on their top-5 of most likely to get cut, for whatever that's worth.

    All this is according to: http://www.basketnews.lt/news-64728...-rinktine-paliks-juskevicius-ir-darjusas.html

    Btw, for y'all V-Span fans, from yesterdays game:

    Game in a minute agains Bosnia&Hercogovina (and yes, it's one country, lol). Cizauskas (PG) and K.Lavrinovic (PF) out. D-Mo should get more minutes than last two games.

    DMo in starting five!

    DMo block (if I'm right) and 3-pointer from the corner. Good start tho.

    playing with a lot more energy as a starter, what cause more fouls tho.

    9pts (4/5FG, 1/1 3pt, 1reb, 1ast, 1blk, 1stl, 2PF, 1TO) in 7 minutes of play, Kleiza in DMo out.

    Actually kind of hoping he gets cut. That way he can get back to Houston and put in work with some of the other guys.

    That has GOT to be the slowest drive to the hoop I've ever seen. Wow. It's almost seems slow motion.
