Germany destroyed Finland... Great game by Schroeder & Theis. Good Franz.

Finland 18 FTA
Germany 31 FTA

It's interesting how well officiated Germans are in this tournament. +61 FTA on their direct opposition in such a small window.

Mavs legends Shane Larkin and Kostas Antetokounmpo look like proper players in the semis!

Turkey insane in the first half, Giannis is still just a good player in Fiba basketball.

Sengun owned Giannis badly. What a player.

Germany is probably the better team but it's close. Turkey is hungry.

Germany won. Again. Schroeder clutch again.

But my MVP is Bonga. Insane performance.

Sengun&Osman tried so hard but the went short.

I was sure they are about to lose...

Indeed.

I am hoping Cooper Flagg can be the guy.

I have no idea what to expect from him in his rookie season but if he starts off productive Kidd needs to let him shine.

Did Larkin look good on offense and defense?

Yes, his offensive skills are there and we all know it (a 49 points EL game is insane) but he also understood how to be a team guy.. and with Sengun&Osman on your team you have to be.

Of course he is too short for the NBA. But he is a very good player.

Man, Cuban really forced himself into big pile of manure this time...

Watch on YouTube

Cuban is so stupid. What a mess. He needs to shut up.

Yea Cuban is a buffoon, if not for his stupidity in hiring Nico and the snake still being here, I'd be happy he was gone.

Torn ACL for FVV... Good news for the Mavs, then our backcourt is not the worst of the league.

Still may be sadly. Amen Thompson is betetr than any of our guards until Kyrie comes back. Heck Amen is betetr than AD since he actually plays

Grimes still nowhere near a deal with PHL - and not joining the team anytime soon. That's exactly why trading him was smart... albeit the return questionable.

I'd rather pull the qualifying offer and let Grimes walk than have Caleb Martin on the books, but w/o the deal Mavs would have made the PO and wouldn't draft Flagg so in retrospect, yeah it was worth it.
