    If they shot FTs worth a shit, they'd have a nice 8-10 pt cushion. Lithuania is playing well either way and the US continues to play shitty D. They got away with that all tournament because they have simply been outscoring everyone. Today it's showing a bit. Lithuania shooting almost 60% from the floor.

    They deserve to lose this game. Think they entered this cocky from the Nigeria game and it has shown. They needed a game like this to show them that their shit stinks just like everyone elses.

    If Lithuania was smart they would go Hack-a-Howard/Shaq on the US in the last two minutes and make them make FTs.

    Solid game plan at the end.

    Just hand the ball to Lebron and let him go to the basket in the last 2 minutes...The first time he chucked up a 3 though and when that wasn't close, he decided to just drive on them.

    lets face facts
    other than lebron this team is just not great enough to walk out there, play halfassed and win by 30

    carmelo and some others are not team players or interested in playing defense

    strange to see tyson chandler of all people working harder than the rest of the team at times

    Lithuania was playing terrible this Olympics too..with Spain's loss they should meet in the semifinals and not even the Gold medal game anymore. I still think either Spain in the semis or Brazil/Russia in the finals could catch fire and take them out.

    It's tough for $20 million dollar a year players to drag their asses out of bed to run with some of these countries. Lebron and Durant could of probably beat Nigeria by themselves

    Youre clueless guy. You also said this years Spain team was better than the 2008 team.

    In 1988 Lithuania was a part of the USSR genius.

    Paul should not even be on the team
    He is no an elite player anymore

    Lebron is entire team

    Anthony surprisingly looks like 2nd best player on team
