If Slovenia's loses tomorrow morning I'll take it. Would still be the closest thing to an actual offseason Luka has had since we drafted him if that's the case

Yeah sure. Of course Dallas fans want Slovenia to lose, after all you’re paying him.

Would be fun to see Slovenia make the Olympics though, just to see what no-rest Luka looks like again. LOL

We were supporting him in previous seasons until we realized he partied so much with the Slovenian team he acquired the nickname 'hookah Doncic' and the team itself complains about how they can't put him on the kind of offseason conditioning program they want because he's too busy playing international ball in the offseasons. If he finished the job in the Finals despite how little help he got that would have been one thing but now yeah... we're actively rooting against Slovenia so he can do his damn job

Just a normal thing for Mavs fans to root for their team/players to lose. :lol:

Guess they want Giannis to go supernova today rather than Luka. LOL.

No worries though, the non-Luka Slovenians this tournament looks like your typical Euro scrubs— Giannis to win this one via a big blowout as we see another Luka triple double while playing 30+ minutes.

Philippines and Greece spread are the first two bets. Let's see if i have the right read on these semis.

Yes. Our 10% chance increased to 20% of winning this game.

Lol no Brazil are slight favorites, but it's 60/40 in my opinion. I understand why you're keeping your expectations low though.
Having Kai back is crucial, Bruno Caboclo is clearly Brazil's best player, you need big bodies to defend him and put him in foul trouble (because if you attack him he'll make dumb mistakes and he still fouls way too much)

Brazil started off strong by dominating the boards but Philippines had a 12 or 14-2 run to lead by 10 points at HT. They're too quick for Brazil, it's like watching a 60yo chasing a 20yo kid. Brazil needs to slow the game down.
