Second unsportmanlike foul for stopping Giannis in transition.

There is a lot of home cooking but it's to be expected. If Serbia loses this game they are out of the World Cup.

Sloukas is one of the best pick and roll points in Europe, run that... Here we go, Papanikolau with a 3.

He is not 100% fit yet. That's why he is playing less than normal.

Greece's guards getting pushed around by Serbia's aggressive perimeter D. Biggest difference of the game.

then on the serbian turnover you have greece grab Milutinov out of the way of the pass. Refs are missing call on both ends. You could also call a push off on Giannis on that 2nd technical foul. Like I said missed calls on both sides. There is no conspiracy here.

It's not conspiracy. It's logical. Nobody will remember this game in a week. Serbia should be in the World Cup and Greece has nothing to lose tonight.

Serbia vs Turkey semifinal happened in 2010, and I still remember that, probably the most corrupt game ever. Though that one proved that refs can get away with anything basically. FIBA always had the worst refs, this is not news at all.

If they wanted talented superstars playing in the world cup they wouldn't have made this stupid schedule in the first place with games in the middle of the nba season. Your logic doesn't make sense at all.
