Agreed. I feel like Donovan is so much more comfortable with a higher usage rate. He struggles to gain a rhythm and good feel for the game playing off the ball IMO, which is what’s happening right now with team USA. He’s a great spot up shooter sure but it just feels like Donovan is capable of so much more when he has the ball in his hands kind of running things.

As a side note, not a lot of successful drives by Donovan. I do hope he doesn’t fall too in love with mid range jumps hits and floaters. I realize there hasn’t been much space, but there wasn’t his first two seasons either and he just hasn’t been near as effective getting to the rim it seems like.

Meh. Remember the offense was not as good with him at PG last season even tho his numbers were good

So if Turkey beats Czechia, we can see a rematch.

Crazy, I saw Turkey and USA meeting again in a group stage again in my dream, then opened up the FIBA site to check and saw this. Before checking I did not know that the 2nd round would be group stage.

Actually - and please correct me if I'm wrong - it's kind of a modified group stage. Results from Stage 1 carry over and there are only 2 games for each team. Each team faces the teams they didn't play in the first group stage. E1 (likely USA) plays F2 (likely Greece) on Sept 7th and then E1 (likely USA) plays F1 (likely Brazil) on Sept 9th. E1 and E2 don't play each other again in the 2nd round. And from what I can tell from the Bracket and game schedules, they'd only play each other if both made it to the Finals.

Here is where I'm looking. And, again, please correct me if I've misread the schedules or brackets.

Thanks for the heads up. Honestly I have no idea which way it is. I just thought it was a straight group formula. I will check it ASAP.

If you will tell you stopped going to strippers and eating meat I will start getting really concerned about you.

Have never really been into strip joints, just hung out with strippers from time to time. Actually been quite a while since I've done that. Picking up a four kilo brisket tomorrow to cook for dinner for the family and the former Mrs Rubashov, hopefully she'll be the final Mrs Rubashov.
