    FIBA games are more interesting than 90% of RS NBA Games

    I just can't believe that I'm reading that that White Shaq has been inconsistent. HOF one game.....G-League the next. Never saw that coming.

    It will be interesting to watch this group stage. Especially against Lithuania.

    Could it be that Nurk plays better against European teams and players? First because the talent isn’t quite as high but also because of nationalism?

    next four games will be extremely tough for our team, all four teams (slovenia, france, lithuania & germany) are legit medal contenders

    two wins could be enough to go through to the next round, so we need to shock the world and find that win somewhere and i believe we will, anything is possible when you give max effort and play with passion

    Newly acquired as part of the Donovan Mitchell trade Utah Jazz’s Lauri Markannen is putting Finland in his back against Israel.

    I was looking at it and the back to backs are rough.

    Against Germany, then b2b against Slovenia

    Against France, then b2b against Lithuania

    That Germany game will be big. Need to contain Schroeder. Slovenia will be a tough one.

    Lithuania will be tough, and will probably be a huge game, could decide which team moves on. Big game for Nurk against Sabonis and Valanciunus(sp?).

    Hungary win could be big. Everyone in the group is going to want to beat Hungary, maybe they will find a way to upset someone. So it’s nice to have it out of the way.

    France is more talented than they’ve played though, and Bosnia plays them towards the end where they may have to win against Bosnia to have a chance to make it out of the group.

    I don't think the team has that much talent, and certainly less than in recent years

    No doubt. Back when they had Parker, Diaw, Batum.

    Even just 3 years ago at the world cup where we knocked out the USA then choked to Argentina. No Batum or De Colo this year.
