extended highlights.

Happy to see Queta playing well. I'm pulling for Queta and Garza to play well this season.

Queta is having his way there.

the word on reddit is that Friday's game will be Portugal vs Serbia, I don't know if this is true
But is this eurobasket on American TV, like ESPN or NBATV
I'd be game, if the time zones allow it, to watch a little Jokic vs Neemi Queta

if it's televised without me having to buy a channel package or something
anybody been watching this tourny in the US?

Serbia (Jokic) friday, Turkey (Sengun) saturday and Latvia (Porzingis monday. Should give us more relevant info about his progress against NBA caliber opposition.

What I see from him is more understanding and awareness on both sides
He has the physical tools, but the understanding of how to play wasn't there yet
He is making strides, just like Kornet in last season. He suddenly was aware of his body and skills and made the most of out it

Woah, that's quite the gauntlet.

Good way to sharpen his skills before the season.

Hope he stays healthy..

Seems like he's playing with more confidence now, too. Probably because more development from being in the league longer but also confidence of knowing he has the inside track to be the starting center and this season is big opportunity for him.

Like how we saw Pritchard's confidence grow once he was put back into the rotation full time and it grew even more when he was consistently in the 6th man role last season.

Even physically/athletically he looks great imo.

I think he had a nagging injury taken care off in the summer

Jokic is having nightmares tonight.

brackdan70 · Post #771 » by **brackdan70** » Fri Aug 29, 2025 7:10 pm

Queta going to need to step it up on the second half…or Jokic sleepless night will be for nothing.

redslastlaugh · Post #772 » by **redslastlaugh** » Fri Aug 29, 2025 7:14 pm

trying to read the box score, looks like Neemi has 0 rebounds int he first half? Is that right, or do I need to convert my eyeballs to euros or something??

Portugal is 3rd in Group A, with 3 more Games to play.
The Top 4 in each Group, moves on.

Neems will be fine.

Joker lives for this. He's in his prime and IMO the best player in the world right now. I don't think Serbia has ever won a euro, so this is huge for Joker.

For every Joker this season, there's gonna be a dozen or so centers that Neems can manage against. 10 and 10 or better yet 12 and 12 and it's a home run of a year for Neems.

Neems will be fine.

If he can’t outplay the best Center in the world how will he hold up against the best centers in the NBA.

No centers outside of Joker or Wemby really scare me.

A few can put up some stats, but dominate? Nahhh.

Average centers are a dime a dozen nowadays.
