Man... am i watching a Magic game with the way the refs call the whistle on CAN?

Granted Brooks is there so thats whistle worthy but still...

Pathetic lack of awarness & focus.

Amount of mental mistakes Canada did on defense is just laughable for basketball of that level. You have Bogdanovic comming at 3 of you and all 3 of you move to same side and guys scores layup. LIke what an actual f** ?

or inability to box out center, while playing 2 usless bigs almost all game, who, btw did nothing on both ends.

Bogdan top class performance :clap:

I won't be able to watch the game and truth is I couldn't stomach it. I can't watch Paolo and Franz go at it. Granted Paolo is coming off the bench and with a hand injury so not sure what all he can do. But I know that Germany is counting on Franz to step up. I hope they are all healthy by the time this game is over.

Hope our Magic players are able to have a good showing, and they all make it out of these last two games without injuries.

Serbia are a really good team - I reckon they win on Sunday regardless of who they play.

Hoping we get a good battle in this game, Obst already looks dialled in. A lot depends on whether Schroder is as bad as Wednesday, IMO.

USA getting a lucky whistle so far, a few of these blocks are not fouls :lol:

i know Paolo is trying to play team basketball but he has been way too passive since most of this tournament. Franz playing well so far today.

Germany does not find franz enough...

RookieStar · Post #553 » by **RookieStar** » Fri Sep 8, 2023 1:31 pm

Yeah... Franz should demand the ball more

Franz Wagner is cooking! :onfire:

Franz is the best player on the court.

Paolo is having a tough time defensively, to put it nicely.

RookieStar · Post #556 » by **RookieStar** » Fri Sep 8, 2023 2:13 pm

FRANZ is HIM.

Seriously...

Is Schroder serious?

Germany defeats USA. Should not be surprising as they had a big lead last time they played and Franz is legit stud.

USA and Canda got schooled in subjects of:
- value of possessions
- iso basketball working against own team
- hero ball is losing ball long term
- pass is always faster than player
- defensive focus & awarness

Congrats Wagner bros and man Obst can shoot.

And Schroder redemtion game :lol:

This tournament has shown that Steve Kerr is not a good coach. His style worked great for the warriors, but his lineup choices all tournament have been questionable. Playing Paolo at 5 just doesn’t make sense at all.
