OT : Eurobasket 2025

[sisibilio]

Well, that's a weird finish.
In these kind of tnments you ussually play till the last second since point differential often determines seeding or qualification.

What did Sylvain was not fair play, but Slovenia is never fair play!

BTW the last slovenian 3 pts erased all this ankward situation

Disagree, he did nothing wrong, you never know in short tournaments if 1 or 2 points can be determinant to solve ties.

I turned it off after they went to review Okobo/Luka dust up, anything interesting happened?

If he didn't shake hands and pretend like the game is over (as did every other player on the court), then all this unnecessary extension to the game wouldn't have happened.

How he did nothing wrong? Luka congratulated and hugged him, everyone stopped playing. It's just embarrassing for Sylvain and France.

[Mrakar]

Micic and Milutinov have been awful since Eurobasket 2022 for Serbia. Pesic should have brought Topic instead of Micic, he knew it but didnt have the balls to do it. Also i think Serbia should play Jovic/Vukcevic at center when Jokic is sitting, Milutinov is washed and other teams are small anyway...

[knicksfan974]

Maybe not fair play, but Francisco got 2 points for France that can be important later in the tournament. Just play the game until the final buzzer and as a defender always prepare for this kind of not so fair play plays.

What? it was embarrassing and they finished -1 because of that play.

No it didn't. **** Sylvain and France.

Luka congratulated him and hug him before that play.

What if had refused the hand shake and brushed Luka off? That would be a different headline, No?

[LuDux1]

After does awful games against Turkey and Essti we finally looked somewhat good.
Still missing our best and only fure SF and our guards outside Žagars keeps doing nothing with the ball or too many dumb stuff a.k.a Lomažš

Thanks for good news, I was starting to worry someone will buy him out

[UcanUwill]

Yes, people doesn't understand that just shooting is nowdays not enough.

I understand that, but we aren't arguing guys would be huge minute getters, definitely not everyone in the NBA plays good defenders, even the role players can be very bad defenders, especially the shooters. If you shoot 3s and play D, you will get at least 20 mil now.

The issue with guys his age is that he's the kind of guy that would only be useful on a playoff, however, he lacks the NBA experience to actually be impactful. Pablo Prigioni was even older as a rookie, but he earned his minutes with that tenacious full court defense that he actually never showed when he had huge offensive roles in Europe and with Argentina.

Regarding Obst's defense, NBA playoff teams put a premium on switching on defense. I just don't see how Obst would keep up, unless he's shooting close to 50% from deep. In the last 3 seasons in the German playoffs his shooting has been in the mid to high 30s.

Yeah I get, I disagree that he would need to shoot 50% from deep to justify minutes, he is really not that much of a liability. We brought Seth Curry, I think Seth Curry is definitely more of the liability, he is shorter and slower for sure if you ask me, and I mean he played in the NBA for years. Of course I am not denying that Seth is one of the best shooters in NBA history, so there is that, but what I am saying, guy like Obst or Carroll playing in the NBA really isn't some kind of crazy idea at all. I think guys like Micic, Jasikevicius are definitely worse NBA fits, because they need ball in their hands to be effective, but frankly their offense didn't translate well to begin with, and not like they played defense, so these guys were just waste of everyones time in the NBA. These super shooters, and not Jimmer Freddette super shootes who needed entire team built around them, but I mean the guys who know how to move off ball and be 4th. option, these guys could contribute on almost any level of team.

If you don't see anything wrong in what Sylvain did than you're the same **** like him.

It would be better.

It's very dark green font, but green font nonetheless

[a-French-Fan]

Actually, I agree with every body about Sylvain's behaviour! Positive or negative!!

Whatever, Luka is the best offense player in the world, could make more on his defensive work, and with his behaviour is a really a** ho**. If he tried to really defend and stop to talk wit referees ... He should be the best player in the word, NBA or Fiba context.

LOL it is group stage, point differential can be important, WTF are people complaining about?

France is at fault that Slovenia stopped playing?

[Inspektor1312]

Rough game for Serbia. Latvia can get hot (and they usually do), but it definitely shouldn't have been this close, even without Bogi.
Looking forward to the matchup with Turkey, Jokic will finally have a formidable center to play against, so others will have to chip in a bit more.

If he wanted to keep playing, he should've said so to Luka when he approached him instead of acting like the game is over.
Shameless stuff, zero class and respect.

He fooled them. I can understand your point, but people playing here should know point differential is important and you only have yourself to blame you got fooled. If this was against my team, i would only blame my team.
