Must be that Portugal played easy against Enes but is giving everything they've got to Jonas. Must be that, yep.

Of course. They all knew Kanter has not been playing ball for year and a half so naturally you will let him miss rather than contesting his shots.

The NBA's best (somewhat subjective, but leads by rate of blocks by a mile) shotblocker/best big on a conference finalist team and one of the best Cs in the NBA are not "at worst what he will see every night".

Why must you insist on constantly making an *** out of yourself?

That front line is truly average in the nba. As individual players they are fine. I know you are on some type of epic quest to slander me at any point you can, but your attempts are so pathetic. Bitching, whining and attacking. Tough guy. Love it.

So it's gone from worst he'll see to now average.

Well done there, champ.

Very good game. Serbian player misses a chippie that would have won the game. Perhaps France will not underachieve this tournament.

If teodosic was not fauled out,i think serbia would win,,they play allmost perfect ball
 
I didn't watch the game today when I saw that GB had beat Poland (was going to watch it later), and I saw Kanter's numbers against Spain. They don't look too spectacular. One thing that I have noticed in these games is that he often goes minute after minute without even touching the ball. It's tough to play with any sort of confidence and rhythm when that happens. I don't know if any of this happened today, but it sounds like an off day for him. Hopefully just growing pains. He never faces his opponent on the block. He should use his quickness and face up more. I don't know why he hasn't done this more yet. Is this not really a part of his game. If not, it should be.

To be expected. Most of Kanter's points have come off put backs, offensive rebounds, or posting smaller players. I would like to see him go to his baseline fade away against giants like Gasol.

M. Gasol and Ibaka are very good young bigs. I think Ibaka might be one of the most underrated players in the NBA (but not for long, people are starting to take notice).

I would expect Kanter's points initially to come from putbacks and rebounds. Not saying he's going to develop like Boozer (and I sure hope he doesn't defensively), but after THREE years in college, Carlos averaged 10/7.5 in 25 mins as a rookie. He had no plays called for him during his time in Cleveland (the main reason he left). Maybe Kanter doesn't get that many minutes his first year with Jefferson and Okur ahead of him on the depth chart, but his per min. numbers should be close. Above all, we need to temper our expectations for him, Favors and even Hayward. They're all young and they'll be inconsistent.
