Almost every Luka miss from 3 has been just short this tournament

Refs are horrible. But you probably won't get the benefit of a doubt from the refs when you argue every call like the whole slovenien team and coaching staff does.. just saying.

Slivenia crapped the bed, but that was utter disgrace of officiating.

He's been shooting too many 3's this game. But at least 4 of them were in and outs. But yeah, he should have attacked the rim more.

Slo 10.FTs to Ger 12 FTs in the 4th. Hardly a landslide! Refs have been v soft tho, I agree with that.

Luka has looked understandably tired in the last few minutes, shooting stepback 3s instead of attacking Theis who has 4 fouls.

He looks exhausted, but I also think the lack of a defensive 3 seconds means they're parked in there.

Schroeder in this game showed some Embiid type of flopping. Any small contact he's been diving to the floor.

These refs hate basketball

Slovenia getting away with only 2 technicals is a miracle. Disgraceful behaviour from the entire team.

Luka got favorable whisle all game except for the soft tech at the start, but it is what it is at this point, he's not going to change.

I'm shocked no one punched a ref yet. Their reffing has been even more disgraceful.

Theis getting incidentally slapped while having no claim to the ball 4 feet away stopping a Slovenia fastbreak is disgraceful officiating, so I think the response is proportionate

And the more complete team vs. the one with the unicorn, earns the W.

I'm not saying that the refs where any good but the Sloveniens argued EVERY call that didn't go their way no matter how obvious the fouls where. Go watch the game again. It's just a joke and it probably makes the refs go against you in close situations.

Gotta admit Luka gets calls. Both good and bad.

He gets called for ticky-tack defensive fouls.. he also gets calls where defenders doesnt touch him..

He didnt attack much but settled for 3s more though.

He's always been a huge flopper. He's the current era Rudy or Navarro. For whatever reason, people just don't seem to call him out for it.

Bulgarian TV "pundits" after the game are saying Thiemann was key for Germany's win, LOL, he was -18. Sure, he got a few buckets, but he was getting abused on D.

Ducklett · Post #1959 » by **Ducklett** » Wed Sep 10, 2025 8:19 pm

Theis was +23 and had a great statline but it goes unnoticed.

Edit: stupid mobile website, it was Theis. He played a damn good game today!

The German team in general is bad at defense. They just have enough offensive firepower to outscore most everyone.

European champion will be (poll starting at 1/4 finals) ?
