        Not sure, but something like 5-6 pts, couple rebs, 6 turnovers, 4 fouls.

            I didn't see the game so it's hard to know what to make of the foul trouble.

            In my head, I'm thinking it's good, because it's the highest level basketball he's played in months. Macedonia, while not a powerhouse, is not a bad team. So it makes sense for him to need to get back up to speed.

            But I'm also thinking....was it reffed well at all? Some of those int'l refs are just the worst...THE WORST. I mean, NBA refs are crap too, but I've seen int'l guys frequently make calls that make absolutely no sense whatsoever, such as this that @rocwell mentioned

              I watched the game. It was an awful game with awful refs. JV was called for 3 offensive fouls in the first quarter if I remember right. It was a very physical and all defensive game, but the refs let play on in obvious foul situations half the time, while whistling fouls in situations where 2 big men would go at each other in the post creating normal contact, a couple non-exisitng travelling calls...

              JV was extremely intense on positioning in the post and working the offensive glass, so I guess the refs thought it was a bit too much. JV managed to pull down 9 boards in about 15 minutes of PT (5 on the offensive glass). With little PT and foul trouble JV didn't get into any rhythm offensively (he sit out quarters 2 and 3) until 5 minutes left in the 4th quarter, when got on the floor again.

              Overall, the Lithuanian team played pretty bad over the first half, couldn't complete any passes and finished the first half with 14 turnovers. But effort on D kept them close. In the second half, slowly but surely, they started playing better and made their run in the 4th to win it by 12.

              This Lithuanian team has a lot of potential. They should win Eurobasket 2013 in Slovenia. Even when they struggle mightily in a game, they will still always have a chance to win. Their frontcourt players are amazing. Five 7 footers and all very capable on both ends. They also have lots of excellent outside shooters. If they find a way to make the right passes without turning the ball over and establish a good balance between inside and out games as a team, I don't see another team beating them. Hope JV wins GOLD and is named tournament MVP.

                                JV will have some challenges over the next couple games, that's for sure.
