I can't believe ITA made it to the QF with the way they started the tournament, winners will win...
CAN should watch for the Spaniards, Rudy and Llul can't be slept on...

Big time buckets down the stretch for Vuc to prevent a massive Montenegro meltdown.

Their group was trash and they won against Serbia, that was enough.

Really looking forward to Slovenija vs Germany. Should be a fun and intense game
I'll be disappointed if there isn't atleast 1 fight between Mo and Luka.

Luka vs Schroder more like it. But yes, i think this is going to be a physical game as the Germans will try to frustrate Luka.

Are the Thunder keeping Bertans, who plays like Dirk Nowitzki donning the national team jersey, for the season? Or is he just another trade fodder. I think if used properly, he’s going to help that young frontcourt and deserve something like 15-20 min off the bench with OKC.

You obv havent seen the history of Luka and MoSwagner. He really pisses Luka off.

About to post about Brazil’s zone too, i have a bet on Latvia so i hope they stick with it because Latvians ball movement is just destroying that zone.

Davis Bertans is a problematic player defensively and has to be covered for, he will be attacked, but offensively, man is he underrated, good on the fastbreak, good passer, movement shooter, he wasn't utilized at all on the Mavericks, he was put on the corner waiting for the pass, if Mavs had Carlisile still he would've extracted much more from him, I think with a good coach and a creative passer in Giddy he will prove to be a good player in OKC.

Latvia (unless a miracle happens) and Canada (if they advance) had to go through hell to advance, infinitely harder than US and Lithuania, who's only competition was Montenegro and the backup Greek team, also much harder than Germany and Slovenia, who needed to beat Australia only.
