All this black excellence on the court during this Puerto Rico/DR game

Ninjahood rolling over in his grave

Mavs folks constantly say he isn't an NBA caliber player

and I give zero dambs about those Mavs folks

If the Mavs always want to go after 6 centers it's damb shame they haven't found a way to give him a shot at least since his Slovenia debut back in 2021

Seems like a mix of Maxi and Dwight Powell anyway

I’ve always thought he was basically like those two combined

Luke Kornet has been able to play actual successful minutes for the Cs when needed, which was a lot since Timelord missed the first half of last season. Don’t see why Tobey couldn’t do the same. Especially with his rapport with Luka.

 

[B Sox]

So the Slovenes stepped up in the first half with Luka having pretty bad numbers?

Pretty encouraging for them.

They were sending doubles at Luka basically every time down the court. He probably has a ton of hockey assists.

Don’t think doubling him has ever been a good idea.

Exum passing up 3s and then tricking off layups.

Giddey going Luka mode

Giddey trying.

“What is giddey good at?”

 

[B Sox]

“He just gets rebounds”

Exum and Green are basically the same role/skill set at this point

At least green is an athlete. And younger. Keep Exum over there

Nice run by Slovenia.

What a block Luka

Slovenia

Luka springy.

DR/PR game is where it’s at

 

[TimelessClassic]

Australia just not that good despite having a ton of NBA players. Offense is 90% based on Giddey and Mills but they don't have the shooters like the Euro teams. If Ben Simmons ever suits up for them, it won't really make much of a difference

 

[pmatic]

PR!

 

[Coupé It]

That Slovenia vs Germany game is going to be

Ingles looking like he might be extra rinsed

 

[TimelessClassic]

Yeah Ingles looks like he's done...secured that $22 million contract with Orlando for "leadership"

 

[B Sox]

Ingles looking like he might be extra rinsed

He doesn’t ever look to score. Wasn’t helping things.

Eh. I think they're one of the best teams in this tournament. Slovenia might just be one of the other best teams
