He's been better on all aspects except ref bitching, and he fell on the European Tony Brothers.

Really close to a 3rd foul on that Schroder pump-fake

Luka not appreciating Beast-mode Franz! He's narky already.

He typically has a chip on his shoulder when he plays against someone that is seen as better than him at his position.

Schroeder with so perfect NBA-style foul biting, but didn't get the call for 3 FTs. FIBA refs seems to not value this "skill" so much.

Such a shame Theis is the best Germany are left with at the 5.

Germans complaining about calls when you can't even touch Franz tonight :lol:

They would be favourites, but Slovenia beating Germany would be one of the biggest surprises in Eurobasket history.

Probably similar to Germany beating Spain in 05. One team is clearly better overall, but the other team has the best individual player and that ultimately gets them the W. Dirk scored 27 points on 2 free throws that day, Germany shot 9 free throws as a team, while Spain shot 32.

Luka is a monster, so we'll see what happens.

Germany had better roster than Slovenia back then. If Olimpia Milano didn't **** us 1 month ago, I would have been a lot more optimistic about today's game.

People still don't understand how good Luka is. That's OK though.

Role players find ways to step up. It's a theme in this tournament.

Which people? :lol:

The surprise in this game is not Luka but others.

Germany needs quickly to fund another reliable way to score in addition to Franz driving and drawing fouls.

RookieStar · Post #1897 » by **RookieStar** » Wed Sep 10, 2025 6:40 pm

Holy Franz... that was Giannis like
