How different would have NBA been without defensive 3secs, it is taking Giannis completely out of the half-court game.

it's the smaller court, and the fact that we tend to play with 3 birgs and without shooters that hurts even more

Re: FIBA WORLD CUP 2019
Why is Barnes leaving the court? My wonky stream keeps cutting out...

Turkey putting up a good fight. This USA team is beatable.

Re: FIBA WORLD CUP 2019
Passing is non-existent in team USA, which totally baffles me, because with all that speed and constant pace they should be tearing defenses apart.

I have never seen such a poor defensive effort from any team USA, these dudes look like they barely care. So unusual for team USA.

Can't have Barnes and Mitchell and expect passing.

I agree.... Still, Raduljica might get most minutes on C after Jokic. We will see. And I don't really like Raduljica.
First I got Micic, Bogdan, Lucic, Bjelica and Jokic
and Micic, Bogdan, Bjelica, Jokic, Milutinov, when playing two Cs
but after what I saw so far, I believe Raduljica will get a lot of minutes
That's why I said depending on opposing matchups.. Milutinov can cover Jokic on defense and is good around the rim, but with Raduljica you literally get 5 players that can create and shoot. That is hell of an advantage offensively
Talking centers, if Teodosic or Milosavljevic were on the team, I believe Boban wouldn't even be here
Or Bircevic/Simonovic would be cut. Still doesnt think that Raduljica will go over Milutinov. Had great season in Olympiacos. Im expecting Milutinov in San Antonio (they drafted him) next year. Especially if Pop see him in eventual matchup with Serbia.
He will most probably get to the NBA eventually
Funny thing about Boban, I don't see Bircevic or Simonovic ever being cut, so Boban would be a consequence of having to have somebody from Red Star and Partizan, unfortunately.. tho, Bircevic and Simonovic were solid so far. Bircevic is there because of his height and 3s, too bad his bbiq is quite low...
Only thing is for sure in life and it's Bricevic in national team.

Re: FIBA WORLD CUP 2019
Barnes is terrible. Don’t get why he was picked for the team (and continues to start).

i like his physicality on the glass but man does he have little basketball IQ on offense. if you throw a double at him he can never find the open guy it seems, but he can hit the open shot at least.
