    This is surprising because Germany has knocked off both Slovenia and France already.

    germany head coach said he dont know our team and that he only heard of dzanan musa (cause he was in the nba)

    nurk obviously took that personally, hes dominating the game

    Germany has nobody to guard Nurkic. Theis and Thiemann can’t guard him. Only teams that can guard Nurk are going to be France and Lithuania.

    But so far Nurk has been a net negative. Musa is Bosnia's star.

    21/7 (7-12 for two, 1-6 for three)

    our team (except two players) cant shoot the ball and theyre also afraid, so nurk shoots more threes than he usually would

    An upright, thinner, aggressive Nurkic is a good Nurkic.
    Any other Nurkic should be traded.

    He’s getting a good workout prior to camp … and playing (right now) matters to him. That’s worth the risk.

    Nurk can’t stay healthy and this year he will be completely run down from summer play. We watched this with Batum for years.
    Calling it now. There will be a nagging injury problem with him all year.

    Coming in refreshed and in great shape is best case Nurkic. It’s already obvious (IMHO) that back-up help at the bigs (who play D and move their feet) is needed. If Nurkic gets the lingering nicks, then that will move a trade along … a good thing.

    At least one of Little, Hart, or Sharpe is gone by the trade deadline — or should be. Little headed for RFA after the season, Hart with a player option after this season, and Sharpe’s “unknown value, high potential” right now means SF is up for grabs and SF trade targets at 6’7 or above are still the single biggest issue in this line-up.

    Sabonis has been very disappointing, and is now doubt the reason Lithuania are about to find themselves at 0-3 and in serious danger of being eliminated.

    Crazy game by Valancunis

    Doubtful they'll trade Sharpe, they just drafted him.

    Of those three, Hart is the most likely traded IF anyone is to be traded.

    bosnia & herzegovina vs lithuania will decide who goes to the next round, unless we beat both slovenia & france, which i cant see happening

    lithuania will be the favorite in that game, but anything is possible in one game

    I personally don’t want Nurk playing deep into this tournament. Selfish take I know.

    I hope Bosnia wins. Would mean a lot to Nurk.

    Hope he’d ride that into the season so that we can win a championship.
