    Pretty much this. Valanciunas is Lithuania's #1 option and they are making an effort trying to play through both him and DMo. If Jonas gets shut down, I'm not liking Lithuania's chances. Unless DMo unleashes his inner wolf.

    What's with Asik? He made 20 pts the other night. Is he finally learning how to catch the ball?

    D-Mo: "You look happy. Hey, how do I get out of Hou-ston?"

    Omer: "Look, if fake injury no work, try to pout. Look at me. I pout, I am traded."

    D-Mo: "But it take you so long. Whole season."

    Omer: "Okay, is time to start talking the turkey."

    D-Mo: "No pun intended?"

    Omer: "'Pun'? What is 'pun'?"

    D-Mo: "A pun is humorous use of word or phrase to emphasize or suggest its different meanings or applications, or use of words that are alike or nearly alike in sound but different in meaning. It is, um, how you say, a play on words. So, 'let us talk the turkey' for you is pun. You understand?"

    Omer: "Ah, yes. 'Turkey' my country, and 'talk the turkey'. Ha ha ha. So, now we talk the turkey. McHale is going to give you playing time? Ever?"

    D-Mo: "No."

    Omer: "And is your name Har-den or How-ard?"

    D-Mo: "No."

    Omer: "Then you fake injury or pout. Or wait. Morey will trade you anyway, that babası yok bir fahişe oğlu."

    About the game, we as Turkey are horrible in this tournament. Omer can shut down Valanciunas but i don't think it will be enough.

    Moti blocked by Asik but Valanciunas should prove to be too much

    Too many attempts by the LTU guards, this will be their undoing.

    Also, I'm legitimately upset that Dallas has the rights to Preldzic

    Ok. I looked up and found out he played for Slovenia and Turkey within recent 2-3 years.

    I did not think that was possible before.

    LTU lucky to be down 5 after the 1st. DMo involved early on both sides of the court.

    Um, we are looking at the wrong Lithuanian to be our stretch big, lol
