Huge day for the Highlander! He was on fire. I wasn't sure that he could cut it on the international level after sub-par performances in the past but it appears he will be running the point for Lithuania for years to come.
Valanciunas is perhaps my favorite player. He needs to bulk up and get less predictable about his attack to the basket but he is going to be an excellent player in the NBA. His intensity is unrivaled.
I counted 7 fouls against Teodosic today. He had 3 fouls then picked up the technical from the bench (officially his fourth but it doesn't count against his total), then picked up his fourth foul and then picked up his fourth foul again before finally fouling out. What the hell happened there? Did they decide to change his first fourth foul (the one after the technical)?
Lithuania is currently third in the group. They either need to stay there or move up to first but a second or fourth place finish would be devastating, namely because I have tickets to the Sept. 14th Quarter finals <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

Jonas was amazing!! Serbia looked lost their composure big time. Teo has mental problems like Ron Artest. He could not do that in NBA for long without consequences. Watching international sports I find we Americans are uptight about our athletes. In USA Teo would be branded a thug....
