Calathes and Giannis cannot be in the same team. To be honest Calathes maybe the most overrated player in Europe. Unplayable in important matches.

Refs screwed Lithuania. JV with beastly effort on offense in second half of the game.

Really good defense by Brown all game. His shots are not going in tonight though.

wow major ref screw job on Lithuania. Rudy hit the rim and it was obvious interference, should have been 2 pts for LT. Crazy that no instant reply here.

If Giannis sat out because there weren't enough stars playing with him, would he still be better?


Harden is a better basketball player, regardless of anything, he's just better at playing ball. He might be a lazy defender, but his offensive gave is levels above Greek's.

He is not playing smart either and he is overrated playmaker, he is forcing drive against 4 USA players in the paint. Nick Nurse,Toronto showed his flaws, Pop isnt blind.

Greece are too weak, they would lose anyway but not by 20 if Giannis could shoot,pass better.

When money was on the table, in the final four, he did what needed, allowing CSKA to win:

As a EuroLeague Fantasy player for many years, if there's one guy I don't like betting against - it's De Colo. He's generally more consistent than anyone. I guess what you talked about is one of the reasons he chose to leave CSKA for Fener.


I have won EuroLeague fantasy twice, ;) so you should believe me how good/consistent EuroLeague players are. Nando is slowly but surely falling from the cliff.

He looked pretty good today :)

Damn, feel for the Lihtuania. Was robbed big time, ball was down the basket. Well good games though, showed that they easily belong with the second tier of good teams. What injury was keeping Kuzminskas on the bench? Really could have used some three pointers.
Luka Doncic life matters too. No to racism!

mitchell is seriously erratic on both ends of the floor, some of these live ball turnovers are unacceptable but then he'll hit a big shot or get a crazy steal/block.

I'm not sure about that.


I get it that Ingles is fans' favourite, but I think you'll like Bogdan even more.


What has Bogdan have to do with Utah fans?

Lithuania is out. So disappointed. It was such an obvious basket interference, screw you refs.

Greeks just made a mistake by trying to force things through Giannis and play NBA style lob PNR or iso basketball. They lost their composure and went to that by default.

They cant hit Atlantic Ocean from the outside, if they were able to knock down some shots, this game would have been close. One of the worst shooting teams i ever saw.
