FIBA World Cup 2023 : GERMANY are the new World Champions! (takes on the world and beats it for once...)

[G R E Y]

Wow 9 point swing for Germany. They're huge inside. US players bouncing off German bigs.

[3ddman23]

Wagner is so good if he could get that off the dribble 3 point shoot to go more frequently he would be a legit problem.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

The lack of size for the US is jarring, and unlike a lot of other teams the big guys on Germany are mobile too so being small against them isn't as effective.

[Pacernation]

This team is just amazing. What a cohesive unit that bites and claws till the end. Doesn't matter the endresult, it's an amazing world cup for german basketball.

[MagicMamba88]

don't like how Brunson is playing this game so far.

[Calvin Klein]

I said it then and I'll say it again. I'd have kept Bridges (and Cam and the picks)

[G R E Y]

Yeah Germany is tenacious, too. Lots of moxie.

[og15]

Lol 76% FG vs 85% FG, sheesh

[Phreak50]

Edwards is so smooth. He glides out there.

Great shooting from both teams. Very entertaining!

[DWadeno3]

As I've stated before, I'm not a huge fan of the constant switching.

[RookieStar]

Somebody should tell Dennis to give the ball to Franz and not keep dribbling

[durden_tyler]

Great aggressiveness from the Germans and sloppy first half for the US on both ends. If the Americans don't solve this by the third quarter, Germany could steal this.

[Mavrelous]

What a half, unbelievable offenaive performance by both teams.

[ChosenSavior]

Really fun 1st half so far.

[Koreandoo]

Edwards goated great baskets from him complete bag.
Couldn’t be more proud great half good fight playing good defense outside of 3 errors and the turnovers you see the great shootmaking abilities of team us especially in the midrange.

[NoDopeOnSundays]

Forget MVP, when will the US produce a great rebounder again.

[G R E Y]

Somebody should tell Dennis to give the ball to Franz and not keep dribbling

Yeah his awareness wrt who is on his hip is low. Keeps getting blocked or deflected from side or behind. Not passing sooner and missing open guys.

[Buckets22]

One of the teams will ramp up the D, bricks will start flying and we'll have 20 point blowout.

[-Luke-]

The thing that worries me is that we make almost every shot, crash the boards, and just play good basketball... and US is still up one point. Not sure we can maintain that performance.

But great game.
