I expect great battle. Defense VS Offense, pretty close to the classics.
However, could somebody give us a decent playmaker, huh? Anyone?!
This will be very interesting game! I predict a very close game. This game may be won in the last dying seconds with a miracle shot in the end!

We've met Greece 5 times before and won 4 of them by 18, 16, 33 and 22 points.
i hope you guys win this won too. i'm surpised because of the supposed inexperince of the lithuanian team
After Overtime. Final Score Greece 81 - 76 Lithuania. Lithuania respect. Go Greece
It is so sad, not because Lithuania lost, but because of the way they played..
No respect for Lithuania! It's so painful to watch. So many underachieving players, so many mistakes, no organization of the play...
It makes me mad...
This game was an example of how not to play basketball. If we don't improve our game we should be happy if we win against Qatar. Very disappointing weekend.
It was freethrows VS turnovers. Not so classicI expect great battle. Defense VS Offense, pretty close to the classics
I guess, it IS classic...in some mysterious way...
It was a tense game. Both teams wanted to win badly. Besides, Lithuania played very well in the first half. Especially compared to yesterday. The seccond half goes to the defence of Greece who deserves some compliments. On the whole the Greeks played very average as well. These guys should learn how to freethrow.
Alltogether, Lithuania's play is a real nemesis for Greece so it was a good result. I expect easier games against Brazil and Australia. I don't know what to expect from Turkey.
In fact, I feel like I want our NT lose everything and simply go home. I can't stand Giedrius Gustas pretending to be starting playmaker any more. He goes through his man and at the very moment he is finally free, Gustas stops and destroys all the chances we've got. he hasn't got any agressiveness to speak about, no court vision and no basketball IQ. Kalnietis makes some stupid rookie mistakes and has no shooting touch, but he has got some potential at least and could be quite good in the near future. Gustas is pretty much nothing at the moment, he always was.
it's so stressing...
congrats to Lithuania for the cleary game but we are the winns.....come on Greece beat the Australia.
VAMOS ARIS
totally agree....
I hope we will not repeat today's performance if we want to go far in this tournament.
Man, this Greece can just kill its own self sometimes, but at least, they managed to fix it at the end.
The Liths just werent so good. I guess that the PGs are not ready yet, but, still, if their bigs had been more consistent (especially Lavrinovic bros), then they would've escaped with the win.
Sexuality when one reaches their 30s is either mainstream or sick, but no matter what, it isn't pure
