Well 8 pts hardly seems like destroying. That's absolutely a defecit that can be overcome in the 4th, especially with all of Lith's 3pt shooters.
GO Lituania!!! The US does NOT want to see them guys again, this is EXACTLY what Lithuania does against good teams though, they try and keep it close and then they count on out-executing their opponent in the 4th. That's basically what their coach said was the game plan against the US, pretty sad how he knew his team would execute better in crunch time.
Italy is up by 10 near the end of 4th Q. US is cursed. As if it's not enough to get bumped out of the final, we have to face LTV for the bronze medal.
Italy is a strange team ......they lose against not so good teams but they win against very good teams
WOW! Italy is the one that executed better in the 4th, they're up 10 with 5:20 to play... What the hell? The score keeps changin, now they're up 10 with 1 minute left? Is anyone watching this live?
Italy showed composure and is on pace to pull out another upset on their way to an Olympic gold medal.
LTV made a 15-0 run to open the 4th. However, Italy quickly used a 10-0 run to overtake the lead. Congratulations on the win by Italy! Another shocking upset.
Italy beat Argentina in the pool play (?). It just shows that pool B is way tougher than pool A and it's nothing short of a miracle that Yao was able to lead China to the quarterfinal.
that sucks Lithuania was by far my second favorite team out there besides the US that was still in it. If the US can't win, then let a small, beaten down baltic country that eats, sleeps & breathes basketball like LTV win it. Not a bunch of long-haired Fabio wannabe pretty boy/flop artists from Italy and Argentina. Isn't there a soccer game these guys should be going to somewhere?
Seriously, can we just randomly sign ANYONE of them to be our dead eye shooter? It's not like piat can play any defense anyway.
