Tristan’s first made bucket is a big one, corner 3 to tie it at 42-42.

This was just after Bonga and Theis banged into each other and both went to the locker room.

Yeah Bona is on a nice cheap Sixers contract.

Tight game late.

Wow, Sengun with Franz boxing him out punches a loose ball, and his teammate Ozmanj missed a putback tip-in and Germany wins. 73-71. Serbia-Czechia is next. Winner of that plays Germany on Saturday.

Obviously skewed significantly by the two Europe games.

Just watched the highlights of the GER-TUR game... GER is gonna be in trouble when they face Serbia. If they have problems against Sengun and Turkey, eoth their height, how much more when they face an even bigger Jokic and Serbia?

Theis cant guard Sengu, then he faces Jokic?

I mean they usually have voitgman who's 6'11 or 7'0.... I missed the beginning of the game didn't know why he didn't play.... Theis is like 6'9 he does his best but real height bothers him, we can relate to that with our very own 6'9 Wendell but Theis isn't 260 like Dell

Yeah but at least WCJ is 6'10ish in shoes and athletic-ish while Theis is 6'9 in shoes plus washed... I don't see WCJ getting pushed around by Sengun like what |I saw with Theis.

I dunno... past viewing of Voightman makes me thing he is gooad at slow lumbering bigs like say a Zubac, Vuc, Jonas or even Embiid. Not against those Cs that pulls you out from the paint. Then again, I only based my observations on past international games.

Actually it did.

Memphis is usually a lot lower on the list of miles traveled each year by because they are a more centrally located city compared to Orlando.

I believe the only NBA city Orlando is closer to flight wise than Memphis is Miami. Every other NBA city I think Memphis has a shorter flight, in some cases a much shorter flight.

For instance...

Memphis to Chicago is 480 miles. Memphis to Indianapolis is 380 miles. Memphis to Oklahoma City is 374 miles.

Orlando to Chicago is 1,005 miles. Orlando to Indianapolis is 829 miles. Orlando to Oklahoma City is 1,062 miles.

Franz and Tristian seem to be shooting just to shoot today. No cares where the ball was going.
