Extremely unusual for FIBA standards. In the Euroleague the best teams will normally score anywhere between 60 ad 80 points per game when facing off against each other. Simply amazing shooting out there in this world cup.

Down 10 at the beginning of 4th quarter, if USA survives this it has 50% chance against Serbia IMO. Germany still only team undefeated. It will be hard for them as well.

USA came from double digits down in the first game against Germany. Of course, Germany was on a b2b, tho.

What about Kerr? Is he good?

some comments in the italian part of twitter are hilarious:

"today Banchero looks like an italian player" :lol:

Hard as it is, I think Germany should rest Franz for a minute or two; he's showing signs of fatigue. Being out with an ankle injury for a while might have knocked his conditioning a bit.

Why don't they at least try to get Kessler out there. Germany has 11 offensive rebounds.

Not that I'm complaining...

Too much "woke" if you ask me, he is a nice guy there is no doubt, but lacks some poise such as ,also woke, Greg Popovich has.

Warned for derailing.

Of course talent is also always a factor in addition to strategy

this team plays zero defense

Popovich · Post #479 » by **Popovich** » Fri Sep 8, 2023 2:17 pm

It is not over for USA, they just have to start playing some D, maybe even start with full court pressure and traps for Dennis right now!!!
