9/7-FIBA games thread

Mitchell looks to be the best at making reads and passing within the offense, and he's been pretty crisp on defense. I think he's rushing his 3s a little for some reason. Sometimes it seems he's not set or quite squared up.
Yeah, he’s a better shooter than he’s shown, they just haven’t been going down.
 
Fiba issued statement admitting that refs made mistake on that Gobert call and removed all 3 refs from further officiating in world cup.
 
****ing refs screwed LT on that one. Rudy hit the rim badly there, should have been be 2pts for LT. Crazy that FIBA does not use instant reply on situations like that.

US will play either france or aus in quarterfinal, serbia semi and france or aus for final i guess

That's assuming US makes the Final. I'm not sure they do.

With apologies to Rudy, I'm hoping Australia defeats France. France is a perennial contender. But this may be the Boomers best shot at a top-3 finish. If Rudy were to lose to Joe and then Donovan...
 
Wow...Spain over Serbia by 12. I thought Serbia was the best team in the World Cup. Good for Rubio - must be the shoes!

Jokic is the most overrated player in basketball. He's good, but not "win FIBA by himself" good. People were thinking that Glannis was going to beat the US singlehandedly too.

Likewise I find Denver probably the most overrated team in the league. Last year was very flukey. I’m not sure I see them with HCA.
 
The Lakers are for sure the most overrated team in the league by a mile
They’re certainly overrated, and I see them not getting HCA, either, but I think they have a higher chance of hitting their ceiling than Denver. Despite a lot of flaws with LA, they could best any team on any given night, and in a seven game series all bets are off.
