Game of the day is definitely between Germany and Lithuania. I regard Germany as favourites, but expecting a close game, a lot of physical matchups, perhaps low scoring game, but at the end I think that individual quality of Schroder, Wagner and mobile bigs will prevail in favour of the home team.
Also looking forward to Slo-BIH, with Doncic vs Musa and I believe our bigs will have their hands full of Jurkic. This guy is 2nd best center in the tournament behind Jokic.

Originally posted by janketa View PostEmpty arena in Tbilisi again, direct opponents of Georgia for 4th spot and again no interest.
- general lack of interest in Georgia, because the home national team is bad and they lost Shengelia right before the tournament
- not the most attractive rosters in other squads, with Hernangomez (even more Bo Cruz) brothers and Cedi Osman being the biggest names. I wonder if Giannis, Jokic or Luka would make a difference?
- general lack of interest in the tournament by fans of other teams due to low ceiling of their teams with Turkey being an exception, but just look at Spain fans lack of interest, also here on interbasket in comparision with tournaments in the past
- geographical distance of Tbilisi
- second thoughts about travelling to a region with ongoing war in nearby region

Too many turnovers for Lithuania...entire team seems careless with ball. And also, Valanciunas' efficiency on these post ups is quite low, while Sabonis isn't even getting the ball there, completely shut down offensively. I think it's time for Liths to look for different identity on offense, splitting minutes between Sabonis and Valanciunas would be good for start.
