    The only thing they could work in after that performance, is sportsmanship.

    They were playing a practice zone, and playing their scrubs. What else are they supposed to do?

    Relax people, it was a joke about their dominance.

    Add to that Carmelo setting a US Men's basketball Olympic record for points in a game (37). He did that in 14 minutes. Crazy.

  • gorocks99
    And now Lithuania leads with about 7 minutes to go, 82-80.
  • like_that
    SMH no excuse for the U.S. to not dominate every game.

    Defense was pathetic all game. Lithuania got way too many inside looks, probably why they shot like 60% from the field.

    Kleiza is a an average NBA at best and they made him look like an all-star
  • Heelz
    I would say the USA looks like a typical dook team. Jackin 3's and suspect D. When we were aggressive and went to the hole we scored.

    They looked to be just going through the motions early on....seemed careless. I only watched til half. I figured a blowout was on the way.

    they're winning by about the samemargin as that 92 team. Only difference, the world has came leapppppps and bounds since 92. The 92 team beat up on nobody's almost every game. This year only one team doesn't have an nba player on it and its a much more global game

    Lithuania has found the key to competing with the US...the motion offense. :laugh: Come on these guys are not running through screens to stop Lithuania, they're more interested in cherry picking
