Do people here prefer the ball being live once it hits the rim? I'm really on the fence about it. Seeing a FT that's going in getting swapped away is really weird. It bothers me more on FT it seems, because FTs aren't really in the action. So on the 1st FT it's okay if the ball rolls on the rim a bit, but on the 2nd FT it's not?

On the other hand if you mess up the tap away - its 2pts not 1.


I like it.


France is doing good on defence with The Don, lets see who will break first.

The way people were talking about Slovenia I thought they'd be up. This game looks far more competitive than people making it seem.

Frankie N is doing good job of guarding Don.
We can definitely use his defense on this team

Lol at the Slovenian player (name?) going at Gobert instead of stopping and shooting or faking the shot. I don't think it was the best decision to challenge Gobert there.

It's so much who was the favorite, but judging from this thread earlier. Especially before I actually put the game on, and realized people just post when Luka scores even know the score is even.

France are shooting horribly but the game is even, not a great sign for Slovenia.

Lol wut? Our biggest weapon is good shooting, which was very poor in the 1st half, if our 3point shooters pulls their heads out of their asses we win this, otherwise no chance.
