Serbia's got this game. May as well bench Gianni (although he wants it).

Yeah, Greece's guard play has been pretty awful. It also allows Serbia to collapse on Giannis whenever he passes the three point line because even when there's no one within 10 feet of Greece's perimeter players they're still not a threat to score.

They can't even find him on a wide-open mismatch in transition.

Greece generates good open shots from Giannis getting double/triple teams but the stopped making them.

Guard play was crap and we ran out of bigs too, we played Thanasis on Jokic nearly all game
It's a miracle we're still in it

Giannis running on the fast break even on FIBA ball is a thing of beauty.

If he (we) had the luck of having Diamantidis and Papaloukas as his guards in his era,the perimeter defense would have him on a fast break every second possesion.

Jokic won the Harden on MCW foul.

That Jaramaz guy with the game of his life. He can't miss.

This guy is Greece's downfall

Jaramaz doing his best Doncic impression, LMAO.

Milutinov did a better job than Jokic punishing the centerless Greece imo.

Basketball gods decided the WC needs Serbia. That was hilarious.
