What's your beef with Hezonja?

They're the clear favourite, but I can still see them losing to Spain. Even though Spain is not at full-strength, I think Mirotic can be the best big in this entire tourney. He's an excellent FIBA big, a better choice than Ibaka would've been IMO.

Nice pass though, read the floor well. 21 had the open three if he wanted it.

"day raping"? seriously?

Mods, can we please ban the use of this phrase or any other use of the word 'rape' to describe a basketball game? :nonono:

Yeah. Besides the Dutch player who had to bump LTU's number 13, JV's pump fake actually froze the rest of the Netherlands team lol.

Bourousis is much more of a problem to deal with than Koufos. All Koufos can really do is grab rebounds, get a block here and there, and finish if he gets a great pass from Spanoulis or Zisis. Bourousis on the other hand, he is a complete center all the way through.

I guess his pump fakes has some effect when you use it rarely. This was his only pump fake in the game

I myself have none, but it does seem that Hezonja is overrated. He brings much more destruction than he actually creates for the current Croatia team.

I just think hes overrated. He can't create his own shot, his handle is average at best, and his shot selection is JR Smiath esque. Hes just a good 3 point shooter who also has good vertical. He is glorified Davis Bertans is what I am saying. What has he proven exactly, he was a bench warmer in Spain, and hes a small role player on Croatian Team? Now he will come to superior NBA and set the world on fire? I don't know about that.

Sorry man, I realized that was kinda a bad taste, but I wondered for like a minute how to describe that game. France at one point had a 31 -0 run! How would you describe what is happening on the floor at that point?

Dirk Looks done, old man is no game changer anymore. Rudy Gobert on the other hand... After watching JV, it just such a contrast. Rudy is so mobile, so athletic, so good. I remember a year ago I said I would trade JV for Gobert straight up, and some people here thought I was a dumbass.

Anyway, today were are having a great game, Lithuania - Greece. Jonas will finally face worthy adversaries in Bourousis and Koufos. Not to mention Spanoulis and Giannis is absolutely a must see TV.

Bargnani hurt his ankle, will need MRI.

Meanwhile, Mouhammadou Jaiteh replaces injured Ajinca on France team.

Sounds like a good old fashioned day raping to me!

Not to sound like an a-hole, but that seems like a very Bargnani thing to do :lol:

he finally looked like he had confidence in taking that mid range shot, though it would have been better if he managed to make it.

UcanUwill · Post #380 » by **UcanUwill** » Sat Aug 29, 2015 7:13 pm

Game just started. It was delayed because Turkey - Netherlands game went to 2 overtimes.

JV just a attempted a mid ranger jumper, without hesitation or any pump fake! Missed it tho.
