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.

Atlanta the only treadmilll team in history to make the ECF two seasons ago. Hes not getting traded or Atlanta doesn’t sign him to an extension.

Yeah poor Bogdanic stuck with Trae.

Bogi's biggest problem for the Hawks has been his inability to stay consistently healthy. But when he is, boy oh boy. Can't wait to see how Quin unlocks this WC version.

I think for a team to win the championship in the NBA, their best player has to have experience in winning or playing a lot of international basketball to know how to play the right way and know what it takes to win. Thus, I dont see any team winning the championship without their best player having that experience.

All the workouts with personal trainers can only make you a better player but not a better team player.

Yeah poor Bogdan who’s only had his best seasons playing with him and shot 40% from 3 on high volume 2 out of 3 seasons.

It doesn't seem like the Hawks had a great off season. Outgoing was John Collins, while incoming is 36 year old Wesley Matthews, 35 year old Patty Mills, Miles Norris on a two way contract along with draft pick Kobe Bufkin (15th).

Theis, Theis baby!

I don't think USA would struggle with Milutinov the same way Canada did. USA looked super vulnerable to offensive rebounding and post ups, but what Canada really lacks is backline help and rim protection. Milutinov murders you with cuts and rolls, and Canada was just screwed once their bigs had to give any help. Olynyk and Powell can't function defensively as solo bigs or rim protectors. USA has JJJ and Kessler, two of the best rim protectors in the world.

Well USA has to actually beat Germany first. Let's gooooo.

Btw Milutinov looks like Roy Kent from Ted Lasso.

Germany having too easy a time getting JJJ out of the paint and then just shredding the US in the paint.

They’re betting a lot on Jalen Johnson. Okongwu is also very good when given minutes

Good start for Germany. The question really for these teams is the quality of the bench since USA's won't dip too much like the other teams. Another bad start for Team USA, which is a surprise.

[cupcakesnake]

Hope we get some Paolo vs. Franz in this game.

Not really. This unit has been consistently digging holes to start games.

For some reason Streameast isn't showing it. Anyone got a link they can DM me? I literally stood up all night waiting for this. Haven't slept. And bars aren't open this early.

[Phreak50]

Germany could not have written this script any better.

Great start.

[Message Boar]

Franz off to a solid start.

[r0drig0lac]

Germany getting what it wants, wow.

Yeah what i mean was i thought they would have learned their lesson already. Not that bad a start though (like Lithuania game) so it will just take a 10-0 run to send a message to Germany and let's see how they respond when that happens.

[Ball4life32]

Man Germany’s offense killing it so far.

[IQ_baller]

These European teams have so much chemistry. It's really good basketball to watch.

I mean, when will Kerr learn his **** lesson? It's getting ridiculous.

Get Hali in NOW!! Brunson is not that guy. I don't know what annoys me the most, his dog face or game in general.
And before I get pulled for the race card, it really isn't anything remotely racist here. The dude's just that f ugly.
