Thanks, Gerald Jones56 and the guys. And what about the monitor? Honestly, I’d be much better off just bundling the whole lot together—selling the duo, plus the speakers (maybe some decent $50 Bose ones), the keyboard, the mouse (a higher-end $67 Logitech model I picked up two years ago), even that little Wi-Fi dongle... $500 Sell it all as one package? Or am I being way too optimistic here?
If I try to fund my Skrill account using my DraftKings balance—assuming the funds are sitting there in Euros—will the system handle the currency conversion automatically?
Also, I’m assuming it doesn't matter if the names on the accounts don't match perfectly?
We put our names in the hat for this handball championship, and if my gut is right, it looks like we’re already eyeing a bid for one of the upcoming ones too...
Pinnacle offers a better line on the exact same matchup if you just play it as a single. I actually just put some money down on Sijsling at 1.67 because I had him bundled in a parlay, but looking at the singles market, you can still grab him north of 1.70.
What a brainless move by Buntić right at the start—first failing to find an open lane, then making that split-second pass straight to Poljak. I’m still reeling from it...
And what a "genius" Horvat is proving to be. I keep telling everyone that he's being unfairly pigeonholed as our second wing, especially given how this tournament is playing out. 🙏
Raymond Anderson4 said:Domagoj Duvjak can be incredibly stubborn at times, sometimes forcing plays when he really shouldn't, but let’s be honest—he’s easily the best player on our national team by a long shot. It’s even more frustrating because he’d be playing at an elite level if we actually had decent perimeter shooters to set him up. Instead, he’s stuck having to manufacture every single shot for himself.
If we didn't have Dule, we'd probably be fighting just to qualify for every tournament...
George Robinson43 said:And what if we just stepped in and took their spot instead of Poland? Maybe things wouldn't be so bad then.
Honestly, looking at how things played out today, I really thought we were the better team heading into this one. I was fully expecting an easy win before tip-off...
Casey White13 said:It’s going to be the exact same story even if Katy’s troops showed up. ☕
It'll be bad. Just a couple of soft giants out there while Domagoj Duvjak carries the entire weight on his back.
You aren't wrong about that.
If we could just pull off three fast breaks against the Poles and grab a slim lead, say maybe two or three points, everything changes. Then you can actually run those transitions and finish possessions in ten seconds flat without looking over your shoulder every single time.
It’s that same old story, isn't it? The moment we finally find our rhythm and get ahead...
We just can't help ourselves. We start rushing, forcing those fast breaks, losing all that discipline we worked so hard to build.
Look at how those Scandinavian teams play when they actually find their groove. Right now, it's the Danes, but it used to be the Icelanders or the Swedes—once they get moving, they don't care if they're down by three or up by five, they just run.
dustypanther6 said:He was basically just playing bumper cars with the defender right before the shot, giving the ref every reason to blow the whistle for a penalty. The guy was wide open; there was absolutely no reason to get handsy there.
At the actual moment he let the ball fly, nobody touched him. It was a clean shot...
Paul Jones7 said:What are you drinking? Szmal made a comeback ages ago. And that kid basically handed the Swedes the win on a silver platter.
Just water.
It’s just one game. Honestly, Szmal has been dismantling teams for years now. I already admitted I might have misread the connection there, but even so, Szmal didn't get nearly enough minutes on the court today...
But honestly, who are we even losing to? This Poland squad is underwhelming at best. If we end up facing Denmark in the semifinals, I’m calling it now—it’ll be a blowout, maybe a ten-point margin minimum...
Duvnjak just stepped into an open lane for a layup because nobody knows how to close out on him, though I suppose we should give credit to Bičanić coming out of nowhere. Meanwhile, that Polish version of Goluža is doing a hell of a job keeping that kid stuck in the net...
Honestly, why is everyone whining about what Mark Shapiro said? He pointed out that the Polish team usually comes out swinging hard at the start of the second half. If we manage to pull off a win against them, someone should just hand him the MVP trophy right then and there. 🙏
It’s basically over at this point. They’re running fast breaks on us left and right, while we just keep stubbornly sticking to this slow 6-on-6 set play...
Hopefully, Stephen Curry gets fired once we blow this lead...
