Too bad really he is playing for a mediocre treadmill team like Atlanta. He deserves to be with a contender. He's signed witht he Hawks until 2026 so we can only hope he's traded.

Bogi and Milutinov co MVPs. Ah, screw that. Give the whole team a collective MVP trophy.

Okay that was the easiest Serbia bet i made this tournament. Any opinions in the other Semis?

USA -10.5 vs Germany

Will it be close? Or will the Germans at least make a game out of it? (Listening to opinions from RealGMers seems like a lucky thing to do, the way i am winning most of the bets in this World Cup)

You’re not winning anything with RJ Barrett as one of your big-money contracts. I know he’s still young but it doesn’t feel like he’s improved at all.

Dort has been great all game long

But respect to Canada, 3rd/4th was unexpected and they have more weapons coming if they have a complete roster in Paris.

yes, probably the most impressive FIBA U19 player ever, number one recruit in the country, and a big flat line in progression since leaving HS.

Congratulations to Serbia. Convincing well earned win.

Pretty impressive on both ends by Serbia. Not sure we're going to be able to speed them up and overpower them defensively, which is a huge part of the USA formula. Provided we get past Germany of course.

I hope they don't get too drunk tonight

it all depends on the guard play.

the germans are way better on the boards and in terms of big man presence. USA is not very physical and big.

Germans can win an ugly game, but if the USA offense is rolling the USA is gonna win fairly easy id assume.

Still a good effort by Canada in this tournament.

Look at some of the teams they finished higher than.

Hopefully it creates interest for Murray and Wiggins to want to join them in Paris.
