Also, props to Miro Little. He looks comfortable out there against established Euroleague guys.

Calls for Jokic this game much softer than anything in NBA. A lot of it offball not even affecting play too.

That's what Yurtseven would get sometimes, when Lessort was healthy. That's what Kostas Antetokounmpo would get usually.

Yurtseven replaced Kostas, and they were looking for Valanciunas to replace Yurtseven.

Maybe they are lying in media reports, but after Valanciunas stayed with the Nuggets, that's basically how it was reported that the coaches of the club viewed it.

Argh. This is an excellent chance for Finland but these turnovers hurt.

Calls Jokic gets are absolutely bonkers today. There would be 100 fouls called if everyone got that whistle.

Serbia is in trouble now. Similar to Giannis with Greece, Jokic can't get many assists as a post player, unless his teammates are shooting close to 50% from deep.

Anyway, "Yugoslav" memes are gonna go wild if Bosnia beats Poland while Serbia gets knocked out this early.

Valtonen has been ridiculous in the last several minutes.

Also, Valtonen looks like a true Finnish viKING out there.

It's done. Congrats to Finland. This makes Germany and Turkey the favourites, but anything can happen un single game elimination.
