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?

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.

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.
