Nice score from Enes in traffic

That foul call on Kanter was bizarre. Some guard reaches over him from behind while Kanter is shooting the ball and they call an offensive foul. That was an and 1 if anything.

It's called the Euro Flop.

God, I want Turkey to win, but Poland are ballers. If they had GOrtat they would be monsterous.

If Turkey loses they may not go to second round.

If it wasn't for Kanter I would hate Tukrey. It's like watching an unexciting,slow version of The Warriors.

Poland timeout. These guys are dangerous: they know it takes all of 40 minutes to win or lose a game. They never give up.
On the other hand, Turks are really emotional. They can roll themselves into a ball & whimper or do the Voltron thing - you never know.

No way Turkey wins a 3-pt contest against this team.

That block on Kanter is the reason I am concerned about his play in NBA, lack of lift and easy block on slow hook shot against double team. You need to pass out when you do not get separation as in NBA that shot will be blocked 100% of the time.

I think he will compensate for lack of lift by learning how to create more space for himself to get his shots off. He will also start to rely more on his jump shot. I think that little fadeaway baseline J will be a very effective shot for him.

If they would take smart 3 pointers in rhythm they could. Pretty much ever Polish 3 attempt is off a pass that is open. Most Turkey attempts are late in the clock, and off the dribble.

He looked like the big dipper there
