Canada is going to call up Wiggins and Murray next year... that'll be something.

Uncharacteristic miss for Doncic. Canada running away with it this quarter

NBA refs replaced FIBA refs after halftime. LOL.

Canada is the better team here but Slovenia is not getting the calls

Canada definitely getting a friendly whistle

It's over. Slovenia better hope Dallas finishes their season early again, can't see Doncic going through another QT in late June if Dallas makes the playoffs and go deep there.

The refs are actually ok, you're getting fooled by the constant whining of Slovenia.
They grab wrists in defense, they can complain as much as they want that's a foul.

And forcing contact as an attacker to pretend the defender is fouling might work in the NBA but these refs have properly done their homework prior to the game.

They are fouling though. Only the one on Olynyk was cheap..

That should shut up the board though, with two American teams in the final, where will our Euro friends go? LOL

I find his constant complaining to be quite annoying but he's getting hacked every single time. He's really getting bludgeoned on every drive

Should Luka pull this off for Slovenia…

durden_tyler · Post #2374 » by **durden_tyler** » Wed Sep 6, 2023 1:53 pm

Good job for Slovenia staying in the game. This should have been a blowout already if not for that key shots last 2 minutes of the 3rd…

Pachinko_ · Post #2375 » by **Pachinko_** » Wed Sep 6, 2023 1:54 pm

Slovenia's game is all about foul bating, but those refs dgaf

Canada letting their foot off the gas.

Raps... errr Canada just took the foot off the gas and just got sloppy when they got the big lead. and THAT always happens like clockwork. sheesh.

GeorgeSears · Post #2379 » by **GeorgeSears** » Wed Sep 6, 2023 1:55 pm

Canada has been the better team all game. The 3pt shot has bailed out Slovenia and has allowed them claw back to make this a 9 pt game.

He's not, everytime he goes to the basket he moves toward the defender to bait the ref. His last basket of the 3rd quarter is a perfect example as after release he changes his motion to initiate contact.

new WORLD CHAMPIONS will be?
