    Gonna be interesting to see how this Slovenia Germany game today goes.

    Germany no doubt has the overall talent, Slovenia no doubt has the most talented player.

    Looks like Germany is heavily favored in this one. Slovenias role players are going to be the deciding factor. Slovenia needs to watch out for Dennis Schröder, if he gets going he can pull out a Doncic level performance.

    Germany leads the head to head 4-3 in the Doncic era. Many of the games haven’t been close, 10-20 point wins on either side save a few 6-8 point wins.

    Germany mounting a furious comeback in the second. Luka not really going Super Saiyan rn, or yet at least.

    Luka getting going up to 22 now before half

    Slovenia 49-43 Germany :58 left in the second

    If you have first pick in FL and don’t take Luka…

    Luka has 4 fouls (5 to foul out) going into the 4th

    Gonna be interesting to see how Slovenia plays this because he’s been sitting on 4 fouls since midway through the 3rd. Unlike the NBA he can’t count on star treatment in this one.

    Game changed after Luka picked up that 4th foul. Germany’s run from there on out was too much for Slovenia.
