It's getting embarrassing...

Luka: misses 2 FTs, jacks up a bad 3, and then picks up two fouls to foul out.

Poland is up 8.

Ponitka seals it. Triple double, big shots and taking charges. MVP performance.

One bad night and you are out. This is how random are the fiba and euroleague Final 4s. No time for the better team or better player(s) to recover like the nba playoff series.

Nah, completely different names for us Slovenians. It may sound all the same to the non native speaker but in reality it's not. For us it's the same as example Sadie and Katie or Chloe and Zoe for you.

Yea just like in German these two sentences mean completely different things:

Jemanden umfahren - to bump someone with your car and most likely kill them

Jemanden umfahren - to avoid bumping someone with you car

And it makes total sense to native speakers.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Yep, consistency is key. No time to be down 3-1 and then start winning games.

Goodness Poland. For god's sake.

The coach should have been re-iterating not to take any quick bad 3Ps.

This game would've been over by the half with any sense of shot and clock management.

By the way, more tournaments should be single-elimination.

STEAL ! not finished though .... haha what a competition !!!!

Also, not having ads all the time, so not many timeouts and players sometimes dont have as mch time as the NBA to think or coaches to design a play ! so many more mistakes !!
