Schroder please don’t shoot 30 times.

Fingers crossed for the Wagner bros, but my gut feeling is still that Serbia will win.

Wow... serbia is making ridiculous hail mary shots

Should be great second half. Gritty finals, as expected.

But this World Cup pretty much shows why so many of us consider Franz as Magic's best player. Paolo has probably higher potential for nba,given how nba league is played, but Franz has talent to be star player and dare i say it, bigger difference maker.

Guy doesn't chase own numbers, he plays in right way, moves the ball, does the dirty job and plays way ahead of his age. His maturity makes him look like he is 28, not 22.

Now the Wagner bros making some plays. I'm wary of Bogdanovic exploding in the 4th, though.

If we are talking about pure basketball without superstar whistles or star power then yeah... Franz is the franchise player. However, the Magic plays in the NBA and thus Paolo has the higher potential foe that title.

I feel like last summer or 2 summers ago (can’t remember) when I watched Germany their backup pg Maodo Lo was really good. Now I can’t remember him even shooting since the exhibition games ended.

Game is tightening up

Mo takes the charge. Getting through a ton of dirty work.

Schroder just gonna keep trying the hero ball and keep getting swatted.

Franz with the huge steel.

Franz with some huge defense and rebounding in this match so far

jezzerinho · Post #637 » by **jezzerinho** » Sun Sep 10, 2023 2:28 pm

Franz' defence is hugely underrated.

Schroder don't dribble out the entire clock challenge - difficulty impossible.

Germany are gonna choke this away, aren't they?

Germany looks like they'll pull it out
