Pre-Olympic tournament 2012

Well, Kleiza has the same problem with Teodosic. They're both super talented but they are irritable and they can destroy what their team was building for the whole game, in a blink of an eye.

He can be the best player on the court when he's having a good night and everything goes in but he can be the worst by shooting and missing consistently.

Based on what?!? The fact that he has a damaged knee and couldn't play in Eurobasket? He was unbelievable in the World Championship, albeit he had an off game against the US. A lot of the credit needs to go to the US who executed their strategy effectively and the flip side is that players have bad games. On the same note, when Kleiza was shut down no other Lithuanian players stepped up to fill the void. So I am very curious, when exactly the irritable Kleiza has destroyed a game for Lithuania that the rest of the team was building the whole game?

Maybe Kleiza had a FYROM-esque World Championship and won't be able to compete at that level in the future. Maybe, he won't be the same player after a serious knee surgery and a without playing for a year. Nevertheless, the comment above does not seem to be based on any sort of evidence or reality whatsoever.
