Surprised nobody has mentioned how SlimLuka has been playing.

Potentially, how many games are left? When do they start the single-elimination portion? I want Deni back in Portland sooner rather than later.

One more game left in the group phase, but Israel going 4-0 puts them in the single elimination which starts on the 6th. The final is on the 14th.
 
So far, most surprisingly good: Poland (still undefeated). Most surprisingly bad: Czech Republic. Lost every game.
Israel is also surprisingly good, and it's not just Deni.

Joint faves: Germany and Serbia. If I were a betting man, I'd bet on Germany. German teams are always greater than the sum of their parts.
 
Belgium definitely could have used Tou against Deni earlier today. Not much D

no one cared about Deni's performance vs Slovenia?

No. Those were Russell Westbrook type stats right? Empty in a loss. Or do they mean more because he is on OUR roster? Now Luka on the other hand….. collecting dubs!

It’s going to be tough for Deni and Israel to overcome the Antetokounmpo Hyrdra of Greece.

I think you should want to see Deni win, but if you want him to lose and be done in this then you may have your wish.
 
It's ridiculous that one of Finland or Georgia will make it through to the Semis. Meanwhile Germany vs. Slovenia, which probably should have been the final, will be the other quarterfinal.

I think you’re right about Germany however I’m eyeballing that other side of the bracket because I’m not ruling Greece out.

Slovenia Germany is also going to be a great matchup. I think the winner is probably one of those two.

Man Doncic really is going to be an all new kind of problem this year.

I'm still not convinced. He's shot incredibly inefficiently so far this tournament (except for this game). However, he is less likely to be gassed at the end of games without the extra poundage (although he scored 22 of his points in this game in the first quarter, and Italy stormed all the way back to 77-78 in the last quarter).

Where does Georgia play their home games. Do they share State Farm arena with the Hawks?

Do you think his shot selection would be better when playing along NBA players who can actually finish? So he doesn’t feel the need to take bad shots…..more than normal?
