France beat Slovenia. Both group leaders, Serbia and Slovenia, are out. A team has to win only enough matches in the first two rounds to make it to the elimination rounds and then it's all business.

Italy has a young "Monster in the Paint", Nicolo Melli. I have not seen him play, just read this article:

He's like smaller Hasheem Thabeet without athleticism but with pretty good leaping ability.Last edited by rocwell; Thu Sep 19, 2013, 02:42 PM.

Conclusion: Lithuania needs some scoring help from JV too.
EDIT: Lithuania just turned lockdown defence status ON and they're on 15-0 run, Italy hasn't scored in 7 mins. So sad that JV isn't playing.Last edited by rocwell; Thu Sep 19, 2013, 04:31 PM.

Lithuania has the luxury of having many experienced bigs on the roster but JV must be getting pissed that every time he gets a foul he gets benched. Due to the lack of confidence vested in him by the last two national team coaches, Jonas should seriously consider coming down with a mysterious nagging injury for next summer and rest up for the NBA season where his bread is actually buttered.

Not if he stinks it up as bad as he did today. Really awful game, on both ends of the court. Couple guys hit tough shots over him, a call or two doesn't go his way, and he completely loses focus. I think maybe the pressure (or the coach who has no faith in him and yanks him at the first mistake) is getting to him.
