    I wouldn't say Boring, but true that there have been a lot of Injuries. Very tough handicap, imho.

    Looking fwd to the Qtr-final games today.

    They have a lot of decent players, the only issue is team chemistry from what I've seen. If they can play as a team, they are dangerous.

    Who was the ar$h013 that came up with this FIBA schedule? So many legends of the game and coaches slamming it the past few weeks.

    It's ruined the Asiabasket/ Afrobasket/ AmericCup because there's no incentive (no reward tickets to the World Cup). Eurobasket the only big tournament to survive. Worst of all there's no international play next summer. Fvking stupid.

    I'm glad the NBA is not playing along (can you imagine?!) and that Euroleague is following suit. Hopefully lots of countries hold out their stars and we see it reversed in 4 years time ...and that arrogant secretary Baurman f\*\*k loses his job!

    Looks like we're all on Slovenia. Odds are going the opposite way. It will be the team basketball of Latvia vs the pick & roll game of Slovenia. Latvia had success with the zone in this matchup two years ago so you know they're going to use that with KP on the backline.

    Slovenia have been good defensively and that's why I favour them. They have some good athletes.

    Every time Slovenia go up the refs get involved.

    Refs could have easily swung it the other way at the end when Randolph pulled that bush league shit. A tech in that situation, as happened earlier means 2FTs and the ball. It was a 4pt game...

    Two best point guards of Europe face off tomorrow. Dragic is the best imo.

    I wonder if Kulagin will play tomorrow. Turned his ankle late in the win over Greece. Serbs are -5.5

    How good would this Afrobasket be if the stars showed up? Cameroon getting waxed by Nigeria right now. I reckon they'd win it if Embiid et al showed up

    Another good performance for Doncic. You just don't see kids succeed at the senior level. Women's game yes, men's game never. Doncic is breaking the rule..

    So who wins? I'm picking Slovenia.

    Must say though I've been impressed with Bogdan. I thought he was just a shooter, but he moves well with out the ball and he has a nice FT line pull-up. Kings did well there (first time for everything).

    Glad to see Slovenia winning. They were doing well all tourney long, most of the games were very enjoyable to watch as well. Dragic with an amazing performance pulled through.

First 12
