    Game over! Congratulations to Slovenia. Well deserved and now the heavy favorites in the final.

    Might be the end of an era. Spain still has a lot of talent, but it will be hard to keep that level up. Maybe Pau and Marc will return one last time for the World Championship in 2019, but there's obviously only a small chance to win gold.

    Slovenia should be title favourites with that display from tonight.

    Rubio ends up 4-15 on 3s after group. Woof

    And a combined -18 +/- for the three games when Spain as a team was a +9 for the 3 games.

    He was terrible this tournament (even fouled out today) and dragged the team down, not sure why Rodriguez doesn't get more playing time. Rubio is just a huge liability with his bad shooting.

    So he ended up 4-17 from three in the Medal Rounds

    Wonder how much Rubio would have played had Llull not gotten injured, and whether that would have helped them advance

    Final in a few minutes, think Slovenia will win this. Amazing to see how a 18yr old guy like Doncic carries a team on his back.

    Spain won Bronze against Russia, now it's Slovenia or Serbia. I'm with the Slovenians.

    Dragic is so good. Still can't believe Le$/Morey picked you-know-who over him.

    I can't believe I caught myself rooting for Serbians, out of all people... I guess I respect them for the fact that they do not hire foreign players to help bring them championships.

    Solid enough choice.

    BTW did not expect to see Anthony Randolph of all people.

    Should probably give Serbians Jeremy Lin, to make it fair.

    What a game so far. Dragic is killing Serbia, who were a little one-dimensional on offense in the second quarter. If Goran stays hot like this, it's over late in the third.

    serbians don't need to hire foreign players when they can hire the refs. ;) As a lithuanian who has suffered from this you should know it well.
