Different Jersey, same splint...

After beating up on Israel with relative ease (91:64) yesterday, Dirk Nowitzki and Company Chris Kaman have to face the Italian Comedians next. This Group, centered around their three NBA Stars Players in Bargnani, Gallinari and Bellinelli already has their backs against the wall after losing their Opener against Serbia (68:80). Could be a close Game. Better recheck the Scouting Report.

Also, there are other (national) teams containing Mavericks.

Rudy Fernandez followed a "12 minutes, 4 Pts" Squeeze against Poland yesterday with a "21 minutes, 9 Pts and 6 Assists" Tooting vs Portugal today.

'The Rights to' Petteri Koponen checked in for 14 Pts and 6 Assists in 31 Minutes in a Loss to Croatia yesterday. More of the same today, 21 Pts and 3 Assists/3 Boards in 30 Minutes [of Losing] against Greece.

I don't think any of our Frenchies made the trip to Lithuania. Did i forgot somebody? (JJ 'ReboundMonster' Barea doesn't count)

Oh, yeah, Nicky from the Calathes-Bros. Well, he didn't exactly win his matchup with Petteri today. 6 Pts, 4 Ast, 4 To. Quite the drop from 13  Pts, 2 Ast/2 To and 7 Rbds last night. At least his team is winning.
