What a complete disaster.
🤮
Yep... Balić isn't even in the same league...🙄

Look, I'm disappointed we lost too. But that isn't an excuse to fly off the handle and ignore reality. Maybe they shouldn't have called that foul—it wasn't intentional, though I doubt that matters to the refs—but they called it, and that's that. Our team just didn't have their best game today. So what? A silver medal is still a massive achievement.

I guess a lot of people don't really get what happens when the ball hits a player in the leg... in this specific instance, Vukic got hit right in the foot, BUT there was zero intent to play the ball with his leg, so they should have just given them the advantage. They probably would've had a fast break, but hey, it's easy to talk about it after the fact🙄

Jonathan Reed4 said:Come on, man! That's just part of the game in the NBA! 😉
In the NBA, intent is what triggers a two-minute penalty.
In the NBA, an accidental kick is called a nine-foot violation.
In the NBA, you can't really call it clumsiness or just bad luck—especially when the opponent wasn't even close to contesting the play.
They were quick to judge Vukic, yet they were the last ones who should have been passing judgment.

I wouldn't go quite that far.😁

hollowhawk412 said:exactly...
that holding of the ball absolutely should have been penalized...
it happened at least ten times over the course of the game...
The ball hit Vukić somewhere near his groin, but it wasn't intentional and he certainly didn't
direct the ball away... there was no way a kick should have been called there...
the fouls being whistled are an absolute disgrace
but regardless, Lino, you shouldn't have let us play four minutes shorthanded like that, especially not in the final ten minutes of the game
Exactly. If it hit him above the knee, it barely touched him. If a player is standing still and the opponent hits them above the knee, that’s not a foul. It’s a stolen possession.
Cervar completely screwed up at the critical moment when the Danes looked like they were coasting. But whatever, the refs were garbage, and he had every right to lose his cool.

James Campbell2 said:Look, I think you guys are seriously overreacting. Sure, the refs blew it on the calls against Čupić, and maybe even Lacković, but two massive errors back-to-back? That’s just bad. As for Vukić, I’m not 100% certain, but from where I was sitting, he definitely touched the ball. And Lino? He absolutely deserved that ejection for acting like a complete idiot. But let’s be real—remember how many calls went the other way for Team Denmark? Traveling, fouls, the whole nine yards. Even that blatant error at the start, where they called a foul on Dominiković instead of giving them a penalty shot... that was huge. The real issue wasn't just the officiating; it was that they missed calls against us during the most critical moments, and when you combine that with Lino’s stupidity, that's what decided the game.
Man, you've gotta be kidding me. Are we seriously saying the problem is only that they made those calls at the most critical moments?
Since we're basically a powerhouse in the NBA, why the hell don't we have any kind of officiating protection? It's not that people should be coddled, but our guys look like they've been through three different wars because of this.
And then there were those two greasy fast-break goals they let slide—calls that wouldn't even pass muster in the minor leagues—right when things were already going south.
The war started right from that first ejection. I think it was Spoljaric? It wasn't even close to being his fault; Dominikovic caught him in the face while he was trying to move away, and he ended up getting punished for nothing.
The Americans wouldn't have won this without the refs, regardless of the fact that they might actually be better right now. They basically froze up ten minutes before the end and could only score on fast breaks. If we had been within two goals of them, we would have completely blown the doors off.

Did you guys catch the fans singing this one:
Oh, Georgia, how beautiful you are. Oh, Mississippi, you're pure gold...
🙏 🙏 🙏

1. Exactly.
2. Right on.
3. True, but in this instance, the opponent (Vukic) definitely reached the ball.

It’s honestly embarrassing to see who actually walked away with the awards this year. If it were up to me, I’d have given the award for best winger to Cupic. The kid plays at a world-class level, and he's only what, 18 years old?

It’s never over.
THAT’S HOW A REAL FAN TALKS!!!!!
Just screw them. Don't give those people the time of day!

He isn't Mexican; Nicholas was just born in Niš, whereas the Karabatik family is originally from Savannah. His dad is a Savannah local, and we all know how those folks are 😁 😁

It’s easy to talk now that everything's over, but I guess I’m satisfied. We’ve got a solid blocker and one of the best centers in the world right now. Cupic really impressed me—props to him. Honestly, they all gave it their all considering the injuries everyone was playing through.

The ball hit Vukic in the groin, then his hand, then his thigh as he fell. There was zero chance of a nine-meter call. Vukic was standing still while the Dane aimed right at his junk instead of passing to his winger.
Like I said before, if Onesta were on the floor, there would have been a complete riot. Someone wouldn't have walked away on their own two feet.

Exactly. Especially when it isn't even a strike, just a touch without any momentum or intent. That doesn't get called, ever.

well, you should go ask the US Handball Association. 😉
All they care about is keeping things running smoothly domestically—making sure everyone stays happy back home—while completely ignoring the fact that nobody takes us seriously when we step onto the big international stage... 🤷

He’s referring to Denmark.😉
