RJ is actually providing good energy.. driving into the paint.. drawing fouls , dunking.

I really don't understand why their FTs aren't falling in. They might not be jump shooters, but their FT shooting is not supposed to be this bad.

I know, you'd think with all the slashing type players on this team, they would put an emphasis on free throws.

USA trails 17-13 so far wit RJ's free throws coming up. Lithuania is shooting the ball unbelievably

Good Energy and effort from USA today so far

There's gotta be something up with these players.. maybe the game have got into their heads.

Teams are leaving them open for make-able jumpers, that they miss.
Opposing teams wouldnt dream of leaving some of these guys open for these mid range jumpers in the nba.

We know they can hit these 15 footers, so what is going on?
I think maybe it's the mindset theyre in now. A very bad shooting streak?

Marbury's made two great passes on the fast break to Jefferson, he didn't convert either.

US has to start hitting its FTs. Lithuania fouls them every time tehy attack.

I liked Marbs pass early in the 1st. Goes up like he's going for the lay up, passes behind to Jefferson who would've had a wide open shot.

75-74 Lith. Marbury just missed a 3. Iverson just hit a shot though, off a screen from TD. This is where we need a Ray, H20 or Redd. Iverson just hit a 3. lol

RJ was clutch, but wasnt enough.
I haven't checked the box score, but we probably wouldve won if we hit our FTs

We only have to beat Angola to get into the semi-finals. And they are winless, so we gotta put them away to get into the medal rounds
