He put Kaimak on Kirilenko in the start of the game and it worked well... actually it all worked well until he put Vasileiadis in... which lacks height, strength and defense... just not build for games vs opponents like Russia.
Russia is a nightmare matchup for Lithuania.

Vasileidis is a 3 point specialist, so basically the team needs him. And I think he's a good player, a player that can make the difference in pressure situations, even though he lacks some experience.
Your description of Vasileiadis isn't quite right. We lost this game because our defence was pathetic, coupled with poor offence and missed shots that added to the dilemma. Overall a crappy performance and nothng more. Kaimakoglou didn't play that well in my eyes, then again the whole team sucked. This is supposed to be a team effort, and that's our philosophy.
