Eurobasket 2011: Turkey - lithuania match is starting now. :) Live match link here :)

Turkey might need to rely on Ilyasova for the stretch of the game, along with Torkoglu. I doubt Kanter will check in later on.

Lithuania has DARIUS SONGALIA? Who did he use to play for? The Hornets?

 

[prodigy]

i just saw Kanter on the bench, get him in the game!

They need to put Kanter in and take out Hedo. Focus more on inside and less on the chucking.

Agreed, but Hedo has somewhat of a reputation for being clutch. I dont think theyre gunna take out their team captain at this point of the match.

I thought it was strange when before the game all of Lithuania lined up to shake the refs hand. After watching the game, I understand.

FIBA rules are different than the NBA rules.

 

[oldtimer]

In Europe you can goal tend off the rim. Once it hits the rim its fair game.

Yeh I believe so, I remember him when he played on the kings a while back

The only defensive goaltending in FIBA rules is when ball hits the glass and goes down... otherwise if it is bouncing on the rim you can swipe it out.

Lithuania clearly has a better offense. Multiple picks to get people open etc. with at least some execution. You've seen Turkey's offense this game, need I say more.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

God the Turkish coach really effed up his rotatons. Asik is going to play the entire 4th? Should have played Kanter early 4th, so he would have fresh Asik to finish game.

He played for Kings, Hornets, Chicago and last time for 76'ers.

Tense game

So much choke for Predzic

And I finally get commentary!

So much choke for Predzic

He just had a nice move to get a flagrant, hater.

He just had a nice move to get a flagrant, hater.

Then he missed a FT to tie, then he missed a game leading layup, then he dribbled the ball of his foot. Choke
