Honestly, what can you even say about the French? They’re just on another level right now—easily 30% better than anyone else in this tournament. Their bench depth is insane; one guy has an off night, a sub comes in, and suddenly he's dropping 4 or 5 buckets. And if you want some advice for our local guys who keep whining about being tired, go take a look at Karabatić. The guy is 30, playing both ends of the floor for 50+ minutes nearly every game, taking hits in the paint, and he still looks like he could run a marathon in the final minutes. Or look at Bertrand Gil... he’s over 30, gets injured in the offense, then sprints back on defense, and only starts limping once the whistle actually blows. Huge respect to these guys. That’s how you play for your country. You just have to admire the grit...

From what I’ve heard, our beloved coach is the only one blaming fatigue, while all the players are admitting they just underperformed.

If Ivić had been playing defense from the jump, and if they’d actually swapped out Vori when they were supposed to—not to mention if timeouts were even a thing—who knows where we'd be right now...
