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!


I have a feeling that Jokic and some others might have a point to doing something different in the summer, than sacrifice 2 months for referees to have the main roles.

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

Even some of the plays that end well for him feel lucky. Luck when he drove into 3 defenders on a fast break and got bailed out with a reach, or when he threw a wild pass that somehow made it to SGa for the assist

Aren't you just watching referees doing their things?

SGA is going to look great in a Raptors uniform in a couple of years.

Yeah, much harder team IMO than Slovenia. They have shooters and ball movement, should be an interesting matchup. I do think we have the defenders to make it difficult for Bogi, although his shot selection is totally different from Luka (not as ISO heavy).

Officiating overall no, but tech was warranted

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

Doesn't matter. You suck it up and keep playing. Does the complaining help improve the officiating? Do the multiple techs they've earned make the game any easier?

They are also a very big team and Brazil showed us that we do not love teams that can bully us with size.

I think it will be the toughest game of the tourney for us. Doable though.

Ommm, yeah. We are a tiny nation of 2M and we lack 2 of our starters. we have no one to replace them. I wasn't expecting us to be in1/4 at all TBH. I'm pleased with what guys achived. But it's so funny to read how SGA is better than Luka based on this game or any other. We have only Luka that plays on top level, and 1 guy that playes Euroleague. You have how many, 9 NBA players? Guys, you should have steamrolled us in 1st half already just by comparing pure talent AND atleticism.

All that aside, I'll root for you guys now, go get that gold!

Easier said than done when you play in a game with so much on stake and refs are clearly not on your side to put it VERY mild. I know I wouldn't be able based on my competitivnes.

You should have seen how Luka looks after those games? He's fouled in every possession multiple times, brooks was holding him nonstop even before he got the ball.

Look at FT difference 33/19. Don't tell me that Canadians are playing clean D.
