He is making fun of the competition.

He's been the best player out there by far. He's 6'6-- never realized he was that tall.

And he's a free agent next year. I'd make him our long term mainstay at SF.

Unless Sacramento doesn't give him the qualifying offer, he'll be restricted.
 
How does Turkey almost beat the USA, then crash out of the World Cup by losing to Czech Republic?

FG%
Tur - 38%
Cze - 59%

Reb
Tur - 26
Cze - 41

Ilyasova - 0/9

Patty Bloody Mills! Clutch three that ended up being the game sealer.

Very tough grinding game. Lithuania holding Australia (both man and jersey) off the ball all game, and never any calls for it. Patty will be covered in bruises.

Refs were terrible. Not biased either way, just flat out awful. Bad calls went both ways.

JIngles almost getting a triple double against Senegal 17@75%/10/9

Delly not too far off either 6/8/7

Germany lead by Schroder and Theis knocked out of the World Cup by Dominican Republic and our man Luis Montero.

Canada knocked out by Lithuania, who are looking very good.

Big game coming up between Greece and New Zealand.

Hey man, thanks for all these updates. Keep 'em comin'.
 
Name the two ex-Blazers in this game:


(I would be very happy if Ntilikina was a future Blazer - he has looked transformed playing for France and would pair nicely with Simons.)

This guy is the younger Barea:

His development has been phenomenal. He is one of the top guards in Euroleague and until two years ago Real Madrid was loaning him to Murcia because he was not good enough for them.

Greece managed to beat New Zealand! wow totally unexpected. Good we only conceded 97 points against this so talented team! Now playing USA on Saturday, I guess Giannis will find some more space to operate as I doubt they will double him on every possession

They did their Haka, maybe that's what scared us

 


That SHOULD change with their matchup with Spain (featuring the mighty VICTOR CLAVER!!!!)
 
We are on a roll there. First time in the World Cup since 1967, that’s 52 years! And we have won all 4 games and secured a spot in the quarterfinals already, that’s really big. We don’t have any really recognized players, the only one who made a good career in NBA is back at home trying to diminish anything this team achieves.

We will probably get spanked by Argentina and then Serbia or Spain but making it to the top 8 in the world is a huge success already.
 
Australia in their victory over Dominican Republic:

FGM - 30
AST - 30

Yep, every single Australian field goal was assisted. A high AST:FGM ratio has been a hallmark of this Australian campaign.

If France beat Lithuania, both France, and Australia advance to the next round. Lithuania is going to be a much tougher test for France than they’ve had so far.

Let’s go Nic and France!

Nic dominated the first quarter. Blocking shots, draining threes, throwing down dunks, hitting turnarounds.

Claver had a good one:

I didn’t get to see this game, but given Serbia had already qualified for the next round, and the minutes played by some of their players (Marjanovic 1:30, Jokic 16:47) I thought Serbia might have been throwing the game to avoid the USA before the final; but no, their loss has put them directly in the path of the USA.

Anyone watch this game, and can enlighten me as to what happened (besides terrible three point shooting, and turnovers)?

Edit: Oh, I see now, Jokic thrown out of the game. What about Marjanovic? Injury?

Jokic got thrown out well after the game was out of hand, and probably BECAUSE of that.
Boban was -6 in less than 2 minutes. Serbia also has Milutinov and Raduljica, who were having better games. I haven't heard anything about an injury.

Bogdanovic continues to be the player of the tournament so far, but Claver played him pretty damn tough in this game.
 
We have the fucking MVP and the referees treat him like he is nobody. This is a joke of a foul that got him out of the game.
