WTF Turkey!!!!

God. I'm going to blame this one on the coach. Who puts out their best players to start the 4th? You want to finish the game with those guys fresh, not tired. Bad move. They were running plays so nicely the first quarter. Turkey guards just look for any excuse to take a step back three pointer.

Good game by both teams, felt like playoffs already. Will be interesting to see Turkey play Spain. What was Kanters final stat line? 5pts, 3reb?

Then he missed a FT to tie, then he missed a game leading layup, then he dribbled the ball of his foot. Choke

he scored most of his points in the last quarter, he kept us in the game, ure watching the game with ur eyes but ure making judgements with which part of body? not ur brain for sure

So, I dont care if he scored every point the entire game. If you miss a FT to tie the game in THE LAST MINUTE, its a choke. If you dribble the ball off your foot in the most important play of the game, its a choke.

Broken record.

I am not worried, I said in 3-5 years we will see them both as starting centers playing 30+min for sure, not now. And LT won the game so you can't blame coach by not playing Jonas, he wanted to play fast and small and it worked for them.

Uggh. It was just such an obvious mistake though. The game was practically tied to start the 4th. WHY PLAY THE GUYS YOU ARE GOING TO FINISH THE GAME WITH?!?!?! They are just going to get tired, and then defer to lazy shots even more.

everyone makes a mistake, he didnt make a mental mistake, he just missed it, ure too blind to see he is taking so much responsbility at his young age and first national team journey

Yeah, everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are made when you mess something up, do something improperly. WHen you make a mistake in a crucial moment, that mistake is called a choke. Missing an easy FT (since all FT's are literally the same every time, since the beginning of time) in the final minute, is a choke.
