    Eh, he's no Goran Dragic.

    France beats Slovenia. France loses to Israel. Logical conclusion: Deni > Luka

    Nurk beats Giannis! (well, Nurk's team beats Greece without Giannis - but it's still surprising)

    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. 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.

    ANOTHER HUGE UPSET!

    Spain, Serbia and now France KNOCKED OUT!

    Presumably "Georgia" includes the state as well as the country:

    France not the biggest surprise even though they were favored just because they don’t have their stars.
