Unfortunately we don't have the luxury to rest Luka even for a bit. He's going to play a lot vs Poland as well probably.

Apparently neither did Serbia with Jokuc, what a choke job, they dominated them in the 1st half, and let them back in the game, Melli may be cooked, but he has the heart if a lion.
Utah has 2 of the biggest surprises of Eurobasket, Markannen and Fonteccio

Jokic playing only 28 minutes is a bit of a head scratcher. But Serbia does have great players and should have been able to beat Italy. Melli is a great player for EU basketball but gets a bit lost in the NBA (as we saw).

If he had better 3 pt shot, he would've stuck, he's a fighter, but in the NBA he had nothing to offer on offense.

Melli is a national hero. OMG what a game versus Jokic.

It's a miracle.

Markaneen is a very good player but he is often out for injuries. I've always told you guys :wink:

Dorsey is lights out shooter, but he's small, he'll have trouble defending.

Schroeder outplaying Dorsey like a boss.

What a game...
Wagner and Hobst looked like Stepth and Klay, Theiss was Draymond an Schroeder looked like prime Wstbrook

It can't happen.

Daniel Theis had the game of his life yesterday, but I was also very impressed with Wagner. Schroeder looks like a pshychopath (reminds a lot of Rondo actually), but can get to the hoop with the best of them.

No, Schroder outplayed Giannis in this game. The Greece team have no answer on the German backcourt due. Then, Giannis is asked to stop Schroder only to witness a Jet-on-Lebron in your face 3 at the top of the key. Then, Giannis gets blown out.
