Not like we'd have any chance vs Spain but yeah, this was an ugly collapse

As always, there is no margin we won't waste, typicul for Poland. I am not surprised but i have really enough of it. After Paris i have to find different hobbies

I thought I had seen a lot of pathetic situations in Brazilian basketball in recent years, but they still manage to surprise me. 

I think last year brazil played better

 v.  will be a hot match as there’s always tension and a historic rivalry.

 

The crowd will surely play a part

Yeah,not confident at all heading into the semis.there's way too much panic in the team itself for me to be positive.

Be calm and relax, man ;). Italy hasn't won against Lithuania in an official match since the 2004 Athens Olympics. We currently have the same problem in basketball as in football: a mediocre league full of foreigners and young and talented Italians are scarce. Traditionally, a hole in the center position + lots of injuries: Fontecchio, Procida, Spagnolo etc. Our only NBA player is Danilo Gallinari-37 years who suffered a minor injury at the end of the match yesterday. Additionally, we are guided by the crazy Pozzecco, who harms rather than helps the team and causes additional chaos. It seems that the Italian federation put everything on Paolo Banchero in our team and when he chose the USA, they ran out of ideas and enthusiasm. The current Italian team with this squad and coach is doomed to failure. The only thing that can prevent Lithuania from advancing to the Olympics is some incredible 3-pointer games from Puerto Rico in the final.
