Would not count Croatia out of this one. Greece was shooting a bit out of their minds most of that first half.

Should try getting Giannis the ball inside and not have him standing outside the three point line imo.

Giannis and Thanasis have played 17 minutes each with 8 3p attempts between them (too many for my taste)

Giannis closed out this game like a boss.

And I am left with nothing but an oath that gleams like a sword
To bathe in the blood of man
Mankind..."

Antetokounmpo is the best player in the world.

One of the greatest last minute of a game by a player i have ever witnessed.

Crazy dominant plays by Giannis down the stretch. Smith looked absolutely stunned after Giannis blocked his three.
Great game by Dorsey too.
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.

No one else would get that review on the out of bounds ball plus pushing and traveling. He's got plenty of leeway from the refs, although I have to admit that block was monstrous.

For this game we are, since there was at least one egregious situation.

Yea the implementation of the zero step definitely removed any reasoning behind complaints regarding travelling. You're basically allowed to do everything besides the pro hop.
