not sure if you're a NA watcher but nothing abnormal in FIBA, maybe a few ones got missed yes but pretending that's on every move definitely not.


I'm not saying it is or isn't normal for FIBA. It may be.

He's getting hit a lot... like really a lot of contact. Far more than they allow in the NBA.


And again nothing abnormal in FIBA, I don't support anyone so not (too much) biased but it's impossible to compare FIBA and the NBA these days. FIBA is closer to what the NBA was in the 90s.

Joke refereeing.

It was his second tech and he's been complaining tons all game (warranted or not). The joke was all the complaining from Slovenia. How many techs do the refs have to hand out before they shut up?

So you are trying to say officiating is good?

Officiating overall no, but tech was warranted

Have you not watched this whole game or the tournament?

Fiba hand out techs for complaining after an initial warning. It’s been consistent each game.

And he wasn’t tossed for that incident, he was tossed because it was his second tech foul.

I believe the same for Brooks as well.


I'm sure people are paying to watch those referees.

Absolutely. Please take my money!

Even when he has a "good" game, it's always coupled with a bunch of trash low IQ plays.

Congrats to Canada, definitely showing they are a class above that Slovenian team. That matchup vs Serbia will be something so can’t wait for Friday!

SGA is such a great leader. Focused, no BS, consistent, and of course massively talented and creative.

Maybe it was a folowup after wonderful officiating in 1st half? No?
