    How nifty are you with this “from Europe” so we have to overlook his 3/13 from 3 bricking show in the bronze medal match to Australia : p?

    Ok, against euro teams, the last 3:
    1 easy win
    1 barely win
    1 loss

    • One of the biggest mystery in basketball is, why one of the best players in the world is not playing in Nba?

        Mistery is which player

        Llull, Mirotic, Chacho, Tavares, Teo, Larkin, Micic, Pangos, Higgins, ...

        Or from the past Djordjevic, Bodiroga, Diamantidis, Spa, Saras...

        Great that Cancar is playing there

          It looks to me that some Turkish fans are putting Larkin beside Jokic, Giannis and Luka.

            He is always out of shape and still one of the best hoopers in the world. I think that's his secret power

                It's nice to see 2 fat white Europeans destroying American ninjas.

                In a way it's a secret power, Luka slows game down and takes away physical advantage of those athletic freaks.

                  He will have lived his best life and still be an amazing player. Maybe he'll come back to Real to chill. I really like how Luka approaches the game.

                    If he keeps his weight reasonably in check, he can play till 40. He will handle the ball less and post people more, but he really doesn't need a lot of athleticism for what he does.

                      Though I think he is proved troll here, R1ou isn't idiot to mix power ranking with the final standing

                      If there is some prediction thread I will write there my prediction. Then and only then we could take into consideration possible scenario that Turkey will match with the teams with higher ranking and possible loss

                      But don't tell me that some team who will qualify to QF just because easier schedule in groups C and D is better just because they passed through some hole opened by accident
                      It's just people here taking it personally for no reason, my claim that Turkey is somewhere around 10-12th is totally logical. Would like someone to remind me when was the last time Turkey beat a team around their level since I literally can't remember.

                        Logic apparently is that just Larkin alone is good enough for QF.

                        • The past tells nothing about the future. Its a solid team with 4 NBA players and 3 serious Euroleague players with a very good Guard. The team has weaknesses and Lithuania as well as Germany can indeed be the last station for the team but saying LTU or Germany is favored is nonsense.

                            10-12 was realistic in past years and proved by results.

                            After all you opinion is your opinion, you could say 20-24 also. It's your right

                            But saying that roster with added Larkin(by far the best EL player) is equal as used to be is nonsence.

                              If we move non-Slovenians from your roster you are between 20 and 24 place. You wouldn't see tournaments for years.

                              In fact moving Doncic to Serbia could be enough, Cancar,Tobey and coach could stay

                                You constantly tend to overrate an average roster, trying to predict based on your personal opinion and feelings the future results. If someone is way off the reality that's surely not me.
