Serbia getting smoked. They also have issues with a lack of perimeter guys who can create. However, Topic, Drezgic etc. look pretty apt. So that problem has been addressed. Btw, will Jokic be excluded from the next international tournament? The current coach doesn't want players over 30 on the team.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Wow. If Giddey can keep playing like this for OKC next year...they'd be title favorites.

Pathetic flop by Avramovic, he should have gotten a tech or whatever the punishment for such things is in FIBA.

Ι don't think I remember a team Serbia before that has literally no small forward on the roster. Like, your typical 6'7-6'8 Serbian who could shoot 3s and help with the rebounds, they always used to have 2 or 3 of those

yeah exactly
I guess Pesic also felt the need thats why he started Davidovac, but the guy is just not for this level.

Serbia should still win it from here, but proud of the Aussie lads for giving it one hell of a shot.

Boomers half court offense don’t look great, seems to be fast pace or nothing
