Poland's World Ranking is overrated. It's like top-10, while Finland who beat them by 30 points has a rank of 34 or something. Poland seems to always get the easier opponents in the playoffs. Poland will loose some rank soon, because they won't be in the next World Cup.

Ponitka - underrated player.

Ponitka has been quite bad this tournament, at least for me under expectations, but now he shines at the right moment.

Fontecchio is a hell of a player.

If he hasn't announced it, is Finland even allowed to attempt to naturalize another player? Aren't teams only restricted to one naturalized player or does this restriction only counts for players who are actually called up for the team? I'm unclear on that last part which is why I'm asking.

My understanding is that you can naturalize as many players as you want but you can only register one for a specific basketball game or a tournament.

He's complete done. You can see it from his instagram post. Check here:

Dunno if that instagram post is showing. For me it doesn't show. Not sure how to link them. Copy pasting that should do it.

I see. That makes sense to me.

The boomer DJ is the real mvp of these knockout stages. :lol:

Jokic goes out and his team blows a 13-point lead. That's been a familiar theme this past year.

This is a Eurobasket with 3 superstars: they have to play every game, every minute! So no foul. And if this is no foul, this is flop ^^ Think about Giannis' clutch alley-oop versus Croatia (he pushed with both hands his def), Luka's fist showed to a ref versus France, and now this flop is simply normal

Don't say this, there is still time!
BTW I 'd rather prefer play a Serbia who only defeats a weak Italy than an Italy with interesting games in group stage and a real upset versus The Favorite.
