Greece vs Croatia actually close and entertaining. Koufos getting some run now.

Refs are kind of calling alot of flops in favor of Croatia(Saric is baiting them though). Bourousis didn't even touch Tomic just now, he just lost his balance. Antetekounmpo picking up 4 fouls right after halftime was dumb too.

Good game though!!
 
Saric with 2 big missed FT's down 3 with 1:57 togo. They get the OREB then Hezonja throws up an airball from 3, wide right.
 
The refs blew the call there too. That ball was definitely out of bounds. Was a legit comeback by Greece tho, they recovered from an atrocious shooting performance in the first half.
 
Greece with the tough win. Bogdanovic did not play after his nasty fall, but looked ok on the sidelines. ESPN called Greece a middle of the pack team. Dont think so.
 
Hopefully Gobert doesn't get too exhausted with all this basketball all Summer.. he needs to save some in the tank for when he plays for us.

Non issue IMO. He is young, incredible shape and hungry. He will be fine.
 
Former Jazz man Erik Murphy gave Finland a chance against Israel today. 24pts 10/15 shooting, 9 reb, 3 three pointers and 3 blocked shots.

Any idea on Cedi's buyout info in his contract? If they dont sign Tristan Thompson to a max contract that would help with Cedi coming over.

Iirc it's a lot like Saric's buyout so I think he will spend 2 years in Euro before Cavs can bring him.

Do Eurobasket games really air on ESPN?

Not the main ESPN, but their online service. It was Fran Faschilla who said that. He is supposed to be the ESPN guy who knows the international game. Of course Greece pretty much has all their big guns so not sure what he was thinking.

You're completely right. Greece has their best roster possible. K Pap didn't play much last night (05:10 AM here) I don't know if he's injured or not. Regardless, Greece will have a hard time finding out their go to guy on offense when Pap is out. Spanoulis is not as agile as his prime years. He has to wait prime time to shine. You already know about Giannis and his awful shooting. It comes down to Bourousis or maybe even Koufos at times.

Still, they're a top 4 team and a championship candidate for sure.

Spanoulis still has some juice left dont let the almost bald head fool you. :p Printezis has some skills as well and dont forget the mighty Calathes. Ok Calathes not so good in this game.

Tomorrow France plays Poland at 1MT. Poland is not a bad team. I think they could give France a run for their money if they have anything left in the tank. Only Group A and D play tomorrow so B and C teams are off. Russia vs Finland should be interesting as it is the proverbial fighting for their lives game.
