When it comes to fouls, I honestly think nothing beats when someone just charges into the lane and shoots right off the floor. It’s wild. I mean, maybe Abalo used to just camp out in the paint for a split second and then rip it off the ground before anyone could blink.

And hey, I remember seeing this happen once—I think it was against Poland when we were up by 14 and really needed it. They suddenly acted like they just realized Horvat was actually standing in the lane! 😁

Lipo je pobijedit 🤣 🤣

Who on earth saw that coming? 🤣

Is there some kind of reason why our supposedly best player, Duvnjak, is basically being "rested" by only being put on the court to play defense?!

Man, what a goal from Cozin 🙏

"It’s almost like Howard lost his touch," the ball flies just inches past the goal 🤦

It actually happened, just like everyone predicted 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Seriously though, can someone please just get this guy away from here? 🤣 🤣

Alright, why are you guys even hating on him now 🤣

A 15% stop rate on breakaway shots is actually totally normal, I guess. Everything they were throwing at him in the first half was basically just an open layup.

It’s just an energy issue at this point 🙏

Yeah, I mean, those Spaniards have been coasting through the whole tournament 🤣 🤣

Boss, that 5-1 stretch is really starting to hurt.

I mean, those defensive plays Mike made against Aguinagaldeu were seriously intense, especially during those foul calls...

That might actually be the best way to put it. It’s kind of like Roger Federer versus Novak Djokovic. I mean, we aren't exactly on Federer's level, and they aren't quite at Djokovic's level either, but you get the vibe, I guess! 😁

Come on, go ahead and grill them! I’m honestly dying to see what people actually have to say. I mean, the guy scored tons of points, he was solid on defense, and he really stepped up when it mattered. He did everything everyone expected from him over the last few years, I guess.

Man, they're really taking hits now. I guess that -2 spread just didn't pan out for us 🤦

Babić, the manager for this Vatican-style guy, is dealing with some serious energy issues. Seriously. It’s such a shame because, when you look at the big picture, we really could have pulled this one off. I guess Šterbik maybe only managed about two saves.

Man, those Spaniards really showed us how it's done with those two quick goals 😁

that a team gives up 18 goals in a single half, and NOT A SINGLE ONE was from outside the line

just stick to that 6-0 defense until the whistle blows, man, what an absolute disaster of coaching

Exactly. That's it right there.

Everyone is over here acting tough and blaming Alilović, but honestly? He didn't have to make a single save. Not one. Seriously. Just play that 6-0 defense, let Horvat hold down the wing and just shoot.

And these guys are taking the first possession of the half... I mean, if they keep this up, we’re probably looking at a routine 9-1 run 😁

And here we go again, the collective pile-on starts against Alimov just because he isn't stopping those easy layups 😁

Sarac hit the nail on the head there, I guess—Mickey really did take everything at face value.

Cupic 👋

LafargeHolcim mode ON ☕

Isustemazo, Kopljar actually sent Sterbik straight to the bench 🤣 🤣 🤣

I was just scrolling through Reddit when they scored, but I guess it was probably just some simple play involving a quick center pass. Everything else on defense looks absolutely fantastic.

The offense doesn't look super smooth yet, but man, when they actually score, it’s great.
