Oops, mixed up his and Tuovi's Asian job places! Tuovi is coaching in Yokohama, Japan.

LOL, no, team Finland doesn't have to start changing tons of things. Aside the group stage game against Germany, they at least had some punchers chance in some point of every game. Our success against bigger teams will be a lot about making their threes, but the quality just isn't there like it...

Lauri has been in a total trash mode again. It feels he doesn't have any fire. Instead of dunking when a clear chance, he too often chooses to take slightly contested shots with a list touch to score, hopes for a whistle and looks bummed if not getting one Say goodbye for any wishes to get...

Yeah, he absolutely didn't need to. Their best run was on third quarter when Lauri was resting. Of course first five minutes were fine with him, before Germany got their things together and picked apart any defensive schemes we had. Schröder is one smart cookie adapting to defensive plans

Considering the importance of this game, this is the worst game Lauri has ever played Bricking shots, slow in defense, effs up good looks by taking steps. Absolutely horrific. It might be a turning point here. If Lauri don't perform in Team Finland, it's super worrying. Has two years of...

Does Turkey has any hazily naturalized players or are all the bitch teams with naturalized player exited the tournament now? Slovenia has one too, but due injury couldn't participate (plus their EuroBasket win in 2017 is invalid in my mind due Anthony Randolph participance)

Elias Valtonen sank AGAIN two massive threes on 4th, just like against Serbia (they were even bigger). I dare him to do the same against GER/SLO on Friday. If we match up again Germany, I think our best bet is letting them take threes and try close the interior,and hope they have a bad shooting...

One first-time semifinalist secured! Good for the sport!

Portugal led Germany after first half, and only on 4th Germany woke up and annihilated them.

Lauri haven't find any tools to answer for tougher double teams (if players are not high level,then he can punish double teams better) and score tougher shots. Didn't make many easier as well, so gotta hope he wakes up for the knock out games on weekend. He's a good system player in a team with...

Valanciunas would definitely have been too slow for the way Finland prefers to run the floor with Lauri. Lithuania didn't want to give any unnecessary chances for fast breaks, which is Finland's bread and butter

People love highlights which THT offered more with his time in Utah. It has been a long time pretty clear how NAW is better with all the small intangibles with the game of basketball. THT has untapped potential though, but the natural feel for the game was always better for NAW imo. Well, THT...

Lauri struggling against Lithuania, they defend him really well. Finland down by 9 after first half. Lauri 3/9 7pts. His passing game has been solid.

While true, you can't say something is certain unless is not. Turkey is after all top 4 candidate team.

This is incorrect mate. You just assume that Serbia won't lose to Turkey. Turkey has been really good and either of them could win their group, thus, it's still possible team Finland could meet Serbia in the first knock out game. Finland has to pull off a surprise against Lithuania tomorrow, to...

Of course they want as good seeding as possible. They want to be 2nd or 1st in the group. If they'll be 3rd or 4th they'll face Serbia or Turkey in the first knock out game, which won't be good. Turkey has been really good and no one wants to face Serbia. Against Latvia Finland would be a slight...

I have another hypothesis: kids these days spend more time in front of different devices like phones and computers than they used to do 15-20 years ago and earlier. Its not good for they adulthood. Even kids that do sports do spend hours in awkward posture dabbling their "glass pacifiers". Add...

The games against Poland and Belgium were just preparation games. Or did you mean in games including the last EuroBasket Lauri was in? (Where he scored 40 something over Croatia)

Nice practice drill, but tomorrow will be an actual test with Montenegro. Lauri will face off with Vucevic, who was brought to Bulls to replace Lauri. Be prepared. Lauri might want to slam a poster on his face again.

Has anyone kept number about highly educated people moving out from America to elsewhere? If so, is it how much higher than in more normal timelines?
