    Dillon made a big 3 at the end.

    Spain have lost their go to scorer with Pau Gasol when he retired.

    I have said it before that.

    Spain is not Spain when they had the Gasol brothers, young Rudy, Rubio, Ibaka, Navarro....

    Good comeback, Canada for sure.

    Germany vs Latvia
    USA vs Italy

    Lithuania vs Serbia
    Canada vs Slovenia

    Usa is not the best basketball team in the world. Carlton Banks track athlete was correct.

    This is how KPJ acts on the bench. Only diff is he gets in his car to drive home.

    Subjectively


    Lithuania/USA/Germany/Latvia
    Canada/Italy/Serbia
    Slovenia

    Lithuania and Germany have the rare combination of 3 pt shooting and elite bigs in this tournament.

    USA and Canada with depth.

    Anyone out of Serbia, Italy, Latvia can fill the remaining spot - cohesive teams without big names.

    Luka is not getting much help in the 4th.

    JV is an underrated player

    When Sengun went up against him it looked like boy versus man

    In FIBA ball you foul out with 5 fouls and when you have 2 you are in foul trouble early on.

    You also play 40 minutes instead of 48 minutes.

    There is no Defensive 3 seconds if I am being correct.

    I think FIBA court is slightly smaller than NBA court.

    Jonas is a good NBA player and elite in FIBA.
