Absolutely horrible performance by Lithuania at both ends of the court. They were totally ill prepared and looked like they don't belong in the Olympics.
They turned the ball over way too much, they never moved the ball on offense and tried to create all of their shots off of isolation. On defense they allowed Argentina to run their will all over Lithuania.
There is really nothing positive to say. Kleiza made some nice shots and had a decent game but many of his shots were again off of isolation and to be honest they were low percentage shots that he happened to hit. Really it was just an abysmal game.
It is great to face an elimination game on Day 2 of group play but that's where Lithuania finds themselves. They must beat Nigeria on Tuesday or they can get straight back on the plane to Vilnius.
