lol. This team never gets credit. Last 4 major competitions they made to semifinals, won silver in last Eurobasket, yet some folks think they overachieving. Check FIBA rankings after this competition and see where Lithuania is ranked.
 
Looks like France steamrolled Serbia and Gobert seemed to have one of his better games (didn't watch).

15 points, 14 rebounds, and 3 blocked shots. 3/7 from the FT line though :(
 
I think Gobert ended up shooting 63% from the FT line (nearly the same as what he shot in the last season in the NBA) for the Tourney (the stats right now say 67%, but not sure if they have added in the most recent game yet). That definitely isn't much of an improvement (small sample size though). So far it doesn't look like Dirk's shooting coach hasn't made that much of a difference.
 
Tony Parker ended the tournament shooting 34% from the field and 29% from deep. He put up shooting stance that would make Trey Burke blush.
 
It would be interesting to see a study that looked at the possible connection between having a good/bad Eurocop/Olympic tourney and a good/bad NBA season.
 
Hostile environment for Spain, the Lithuanian always have large crowds around Europe but we're off to a good start. Pau --> Spanish Legend

He was 70+ before that game, so I'd assume the 67% figure is correct.
