What's new

Spain 2014 FIBA World Cup

Wow.. EPIC collapse by the young Kiwis... up 10 with 5min. to go ... could have suck that last 3pt to tie it though,... oh well.
 
Yay, we won :confused:

Really, it's one of those wins that you can't know what to feel about.

No, no. I take it back. I know what to feel about this win. It means nothing, we played awful and we won't be able to do anything in the Cup with this game.
 
Yep, all in all we fudged New Zealands chance to get out of the groups. Sorry Hottie.
 
15-1 series by Turkey in the last 5 mins. That's kinda ridiculous. The offensive rebounds we gave was also ridiculous, considering there are only 3 NZ players over 6'8" and we have big bodies in every positions and we have Aşık who is a top 3 rebounder in the NBA.

Not sure why Exum doesn't take it at that guy on that fastbreak. He could have easily drawn a foul.
 
Slovenia leads into the 4th Q 66-56. Dragic shows his difference, 17 pts, 5 rbs, 3 assists so far.

Edit: 69-60 end of the 3rd Q.
 
It's too hard game going on for Exum. I see why the coach keep him on the bench. Motum back in the game, he was efficient like the usual. 6 pts 3/4 FG in 11 mins.
 
Summary for the Jazz guys in the games today:

Exum: Honestly he looked lost and weak on the court. The game was too tough for him, he struggled and couldn't take contact much. The difference of the level especially experience wise is just too much for him. If he played more, I'm afraid Dragic could make him his wife or maid. Unfortunately it's the situation at this point. 2 rbs, 1 assist, 0 pts in 11 mins of playing time.

Motum: Calm, smart and efficient. But his team don't use him much. But he was trusted to finish the game on the court. 8 pts 3/5 FG, 2 rbs in 17 mins.

Tomic: Decent performance with 8 pts, 11 rbs and 4 assists. Bearing his rebounds were against a very short team. His defense was weak and 5 TOs was hard to watch.


So far in the games:

Neto: Meh. He always looks really good on the court with his dribble and all but he just doesn't impact the game deeply. He couldn't create for his team mates much yet and but was OK in his own offense.

Gobert: The Gobert we all know. A reliable presence in the paint but went into foul problem. Could also be better at rebounds. 6 pts 3/5 FG, rbs, 2 blks in 19 mins so far.
 
So Slovenia won against Australia, 90-80. Dragic was the summary of the game. 21 pts, 4 assists, 7 rbs, 8/12 FG, 3/5 on three points, all in just 26 mins.
 
Exum looks like he's playing with no confidence at all. He will need a lot of development. I don't see any coach giving him more than 10 mins with his current level of play.
 
Brazil plays much better than France but they just can't finish so they lead by only 3 pts. 61-58 last minute in the game.
 
^^ Stupid decision by the France staff, it was one ball game but they fouled 33 seconds remaining. Now it's 5 pts.
