I think this game is another proof of how little impact traditional centers can make in a serious game. Valanciunas and Sabonis are endlessly better on paper over anything Slovenia has under the rim, but they were not able to capitalize on the offensive end. On defense, Luka was just killing them as we saw against Zubac. Either a drive to the hoop or pass to a wiiiiiiide open teammate. No wonder they were shooting almost 50 % from three up to this game.

It depends. On paper FIBA rules should favor skilled bigs with questionable perimeter defense. I mentioned the Varejao vs Giannis example from 2019. So far Boban looked really good as well and yesterday 7´1 Ondrej Balvin dominated Powell/Lyles.

SLOVENIJA!

Future is bright

Slovenia with 53/46/76 shooting splits for the tournament. Can we get Luka some teammates that can shoot 50% on wide open 3s?

All this with Prepelič (best shooter/scorer in our team) shooting 1-7 for 3.

Čančar with injured ankle was fantastic. He is improving really well in Denver.

Still thing we got some reserves for Tokyo and a lot of room for improvment for the future.

Boban vs Melli. Both struggling so far. Melli cannot make a shot. Boban is getting exposed on defense.

UFA Moritz Wagner with 28pts. Germany beats Brazil.

Mo Wagner activated Dirk mode. What a performance on both ends of the floor by him. You sure he´s an UFA? Did Orlando only pick him up till the end of the season?

I hate these ring chasers. Obviously knows Kawhi is coming to the Mavs, so he´s trying to latch onto him.  

It´s great Luka´s going to the Olympics, so he can recruit whole Team USA.

Congrats to Luka and Slovenia.

When is the olympics and will the best US players join? I think Luka and Slovenia, can make some noise there. Kawhi, PG could not guard him, and nobody else in the NBA, so Slovenia for sure will make it tough against anyone. They will put up the points offensively, but dont how how well they will do it defenively? Especially if they shoot well the open shots, they could beat anyone.

Obvious his teammates don´t like the diva.

Meanwhile in Serbia, they sorely miss Bogdanovic. Down 24 points in the 3rd quarter to Italy. They have no answer for Nico "The Italian Stallion" Mannion.

You know THJ would love this .  Running around and hugging everyone.

Yeah, those who speculate that Luka is the problem with the chemistry don't seem to really know what they are talking about IMO.
