Anyone watching Germany-Ukraine? Ukraine was down 2-10 and Jeter brought them back in like one minute, two 3s and an assist. Great player.
Germany was defeated by Ukraine, Ukraine was definitely the underdog along with Belgium and both of those teams are showing some fight. In my opinion every game Germany is playing is a sight to behold,they play beautiful basketball. Ukraine is playing great,Krastov and Gladyr are both really talented players, they had a good game as well.
Lithuania-Latvia live in 10 minutes. No V-Span for Turkey-Greece tomorrow (sprained ankle). Won't matter if Turkey plays like they did these first two games, but can't hurt. Macedonia can't catch a break as Chekovski is out for the tournament with a muscle tear. Too bad. Really like their team. Alex King +14 in 20 minutes in a 5 point loss today. Clearly he got this good playing against me .
I don't think we will advance to second round (not a bit) as Turkey but you never know what's going to happen in Turkey - Greece games
D-Mo missed a couple easy looks right under the basket and got pulled. Looked good before then though. 6 early points, and a few boards. Just needs to finish strong around the basket. He doesn't realize he's not going against Dwight Howard under the basket or anything. He has the size advantage and needs to use his size better in the paint.
D-Mo showing us what he could already do last season, beasting in the low post with a bunch of moves. I agree that his finishing closer to the rim needs to be stronger but I reckon he's in great looking condition and will definitely contribute strongly this coming season.
D-Mo did do some damage here in Q2, but some of these deep post catches he won't be able to get in the NBA. The jump hook he made was nice, but I don't know how many NBA bigs he'll be able to back down on a re-post like that. Not a fan of the sky hook of his. Obviously it went in, but he's (still) going away from the defender, not seeking contact, which makes it a low percentage move. He'll never get a call like that. Also needs to get rid of the Patterson rush-hook. Clyde would not be impressed with that one, either, I bet, hehehehehehehe. All of his rebounds were uncontested though. Gave up one offensive rebounded due to gator arms .
Do the Euro's EVER get sick and tired of BEP's "I got a feeling"???? Pretty sure they play that damn song during every stoppage.
I know this is the Eurobasket thread, but... Argentina just lost to Jamaica in the 2nd round of FIBA Americas after losing to Puerto Rico the game before. Scola is playing but the rest of the team are young guys and b-level Argentina players. No Manu, no Delfino, no Prigioni, etc. I wonder how good this Argentina team is going to be in the next few years. Doesn't look like they really have a generation of players nearly as good as their last generation of stars.
