What's new

Eurobasket 2013

Travis Diener is Italian? lol, so many naturalized americans in this tourney I already lost count. So far Turkey making their jumpers and leading 12-8
 
7 assists by Tomic? Damn. Wish he would bring his *** over already.

But besides passing he was not that impressive. Was totally outmatched against M.Gasol in game vs Spain and would play outside of the paint in NBA most of the time. Latvia has no quality bigs and yet he grabbed only 2 reb. Since he is neither 3 point threat nor good paint protector/shot blocker I do not see him helping Jazz in any significant way. I think Gobert has way more to offer then Tomic IMHO.

AKMVP right on this dala, we should fob him to bobcats, twolves or raptors in a trade for some assets.

Will rep when possible
 
bad call here by refs, ball went out of Melli's leg... What's funny he protested it the most. Come one man, be a good sport at least - you obviously felt ball touching your leg.
In general officiating in Eurobasket has been iffy at best so far. Lets hope it improves during elimination rounds.
 
We can't rebound and our paint defense is horrible but Aşık is still on the bench!

*cough* J.R. Holden, sole reason Russia won something on international level *cough*

Diener has Italian roots afaik. I think an uncle or sth has Italian citizenship.

Btw: Germany losing to Belgium by 12 after winning vs France...Unreal!

I think you forgetting fellow Jazzman who was way bigger reason Russia won something in international level;). 2011 Eurobasket and 2012 Olympics Holden did not play for Russia BTW.
