What’s the rule in Eurobasket? Based on NBA rules, sounds like the ref was looking for the right things and ended up overturning the call.

As a German, I think the call was fine. There was no definitive angle that showed that it was clearly a goaltend. Serbian commentators said it might have been, but also weren't sure.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Not sure if it is the best idea to let Sengun destroy Theis 1v1 for the entire quarter. Can we please throw some doubles at him?

Schroder needs to step up, someone has to help the Magic players in the scoring.

The problem was that the Canadian guy asked his colleague to clarify how the goaltending rule works in FIBA if the player blocks the ball the same time it touches the backboard...clean block.

Yeah it's crazy how slow they are to react. They won't be able to stop Sengun 1vs1 that should be obvious already.

Larkin with the worst fastbreak possible.

Looks like Turkey is going to have to do it without Sengun for long streches.

Man Dennis is playing like NBA guys when they got money on their own games

Schroder made some horrible turnovers just when Germany was supposed to make some ground with Sengun on the bench in foul trouble, the halftime break couldn't come soon enough for him, he needs to get his act together.

Kind of a solid result so far for both teams. Turks are up 6 despite Senguns fouls, while Germany is down 6, although Dennis has looked like an 18 year old Eurocup backup point guard

Schröder with an F- half and we're behind 6. We can still do this if he steps up in the second half and stops producing careless turnovers. Theis was horrible aswell on both sides of the court. Turkey playing very good. Sengun and Bona are killing us.

Dennis is good player, but sometimes he makes hard to root for him with the non sense he says, Comparing NBA trades to slavery and then he said he does not get same respect as Dirk cause he is black. Guy, could you not compare yourself to Dirk and shut up, can't look like this in a final while having such loud mouth, we will see how he looks after half time.

Larkin shows in moments that he is still elite Euroleague player, but there are flashes that reminds you why he was not very good in the NBA, look, do you not know who Franz Wagner is?
