FIBA World Cup 2023 part 2 SEMIS (USA vs GERMANY : SERBIA vs CANADA) poll added

[G R E Y]

It was a tech because he shot the ball after the whistle. Last game he got a tech for yelling AND1

To whatever extent it's true that a team takes on the personality of its best player/leader, Slovenia is too emo and foul baiting in the whole.

Foul baiting? FT's

SLO 2/3
AUS 14/17

Yeah sure.

Yeah they're getting caught for unsportsmanlike plays or are not getting rewarded for whining or rolling on the floor like they've been shot. Ref just told a Slovenian player that his whole team is whining. After telling their coach that he's not debating calls. It's been a thing this whole half.

[LewisnotMiller]

Slovenia totally outplayed us first half. Close enough though.

[Sofia]

Half time and the Slovenian coach goes straight toward the ref to complain more

[Sofia]

Such a contrast in coaching.

Luka is clearly the best player out there but Australia have more guard depth but are just getting outplayed.

Luka on 3 fouls and not taking it at him. Fml.

I don’t understand that. 3 possessions and he could’ve just pulled up a chair and sat on the weak block.

[Mavrelous]

Any chance they rescind Luka's tech in the half? Is there a precedent for this in FIBA?

It's just hillarious that you're putting this on Slovenia fishing for fouls when AUS has insanely more FTA and SLO also got called for 7 more fouls as well.

Boomers are lucky to be within single digits, they're missing Landale badly.

They have no true big to hang with Tobey, Cooks is undersized, as is Kay, and Reath just isn't at this level.

Giddey trying to do too much out there

[Sofia]

Imagine being the hotel staff for Slovenia…

“My food is over cooked”
“There’s a big hair in the bathroom sink”
“My bed sheets are tucked too tight”

[Phreak50]

Australia need to do everything they can to develop their teenage 7’3 kid in Brisbane.

That's Slovenia's fault. They spent most of the time complaining instead of playing. They should be winning by 20+ if they focused more on play instead of dumb stuff.

There’s not, and why would they? Throwing the ball to the far end of court (shot or not) after you get called for a foul is a tech in NBA and FIBA.

Fishing does not equate getting rewarded for it. Two unsportsmanlike techs already. Ref has told a Slo player his whole team is whining. Coach too. They're just not getting the calls they want, which is every damn play apparently.

Have you seen him up close? The video I’ve seen of him he makes Giddey look swoll like Arnie, but he’ll obviously fill out as he gets older.

Dimic was called, not Luka, and it's not like he comfortabely grabbed the ball and threw, he was in priming for a fast break and heared the whistle, looks more confusion than delay of the game.

Slovenia's coach called a time out to tell his team to calm down They were up by 14 or something and were complaining every single play. It's pathetic.

Fast breaks don’t usually end in a 50 foot heave.

Not yet but watch a few Bullets games every year so will see.

Just get him on the nba rookie roids.

Fishing and complaing are 2 different things. Agree on complaining but i certainly don't agree with fishing for fouls. It was 1 stupid mistake from Dragic which i do agree he shouldn't have done but you made it sound like they're doing it the whole game.

Earth shattering discovery...
Here's the play, there was confusion all around, even Giddy went to argue with the ref thinking the foul wasn't called for Green, and other foul called

Can’t wait for Marvelous to post about that 4th foul
