1
00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 1: Welcome to no Ducks. It's EuroBasket Elimination round fun right

2
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: now on a Sunday. I imagine it might be a

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 1: little silly. It might be a little silly Sunday today.

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm tas Mellice tussles Molass during EuroBasket. Of course with me,

5
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,240
Speaker 1: it's the man in the middle, Trey Kirby.

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 2: Ayo, A silly Sunday. What do you think, Uh, silly Sunday.

7
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: You think it's gonna be extra silly today? Yes, we're laughing.

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: You got our parlays in.

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: If you're watching on YouTube, you just saw the smiliest

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: face that always makes us giggle. It's our old friend

11
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: Cam Giggly Stewart.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: Do do you think do you think Cam Stewart is

13
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 2: aware that the EuroBasket tournament is happening right now?

14
00:00:55,080 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, no, there's no chance. You see, you'd think

15
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: there's a possibility because he is. He's a sicko. He

16
00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: will go through every horse race that's going on, you know,

17
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: like so he goes deep. But right now we're talking

18
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: opening week NFL, the US Open Men's finals happening. There's

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: lots of stuff happening. So yeah, I don't think so.

20
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's unlikely, but the fact that you can bet

21
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: on it means there is a chance that he is.

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: That's a good pointing a line somewhere.

23
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 1: I imagine if he did make some bets, he may

24
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 1: have lost some money because here we are into the

25
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: round of eight and there were some upsets. If you

26
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: look at the bracket now the eight teams that remain,

27
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: Lithuania will play Greece, Turkey will play poland those happen

28
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. Germany will play Slovenia, and Finland will play

29
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: Georgia on Wednesday. We'll have a show after that on Wednesday.

30
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 1: I didn't say Serbia that is an upset. Let's start

31
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: with that. Nikola Jokich was bounced in a round of

32
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: sixteen by Finland. Whoo Finland beating Serbia.

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 2: Tray, What an incredible game this was. I saw as

34
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: soon as it happened. The EuroBasket x account posted several

35
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: different tweets about this game. At one point they called

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: it the biggest upset of EuroBasket twenty twenty five. Okay,

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: fair enough, this is the favorite getting knocked off in

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: the round of sixteen. They followed that up by saying

39
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 2: this is one of the biggest upsets in the history

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 2: of basketball. Stretching out a little bit more there, but

41
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: now we're looking at two pretty wide ends of the spectacle.

42
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 2: The final one they posted was Upset of the Century.

43
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 2: You know, we're twenty five years in. Maybe it is,

44
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: maybe it is, I don't know, but an awesome game

45
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 2: to watch, an awesome performance by Finland and tasks. I

46
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 2: gotta say you kind of called exactly how this one

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: went down a You said Serbia was vulnerable. I don't

48
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: know if you thought it was gonna be Finland necessarily

49
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 2: that knocked them off. But after the innury to bog

50
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: Dan Bogdanovich, they didn't look quite as tough, a little

51
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: bit more beatable as we saw they were. And you

52
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 2: also said the five out attack of Finland is going

53
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,239
Speaker 2: to be tough for Nikola Jokic to guard. And guess

54
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: what it was tough for Nikola Jokic to guard. Make

55
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 2: your market and lowry markin in twenty nine points, eight boards,

56
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: three assists, four steals. He was huge. Our guy Slim

57
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 2: Jesus came through in the clutch two three pointers in

58
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: the fourth, both in Jokic's face. Every time this guy scores,

59
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 2: he talks trash to the opponent, just always on the

60
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: line of getting a technical. I love that. And then

61
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 2: Valtin in big shots, big boards laid in this one,

62
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: hit a three, grabbed an offensive rebound, and then hit

63
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 2: another three down the stretch, all plays where Jokic was

64
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 2: forced to guard in space. This was the task Mela special.

65
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: What an upset by Finland?

66
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: Oh wow? An old photo of me with cash on

67
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: my face? Yeah, I guess, And all anything any basketball

68
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: league says can be deemed as legitimate. Like they said, hey,

69
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: this is the biggest basketball upset forever. It's kind of

70
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's big, but literally in EuroBasket in twenty

71
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: twenty two, the Serbs won every single game in the

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: round row and that opening week they're unbeaten, and then

73
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 1: they go and play Italy and Italy beats them because

74
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: they were kind of playing five out And that's what

75
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: I thought could happen again. And that's what the finish did.

76
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 1: I don't even care that Larry Markinen had a bad

77
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: shooting night. It wasn't all that efficient, but the guy

78
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,520
Speaker 1: just brought it. That team brought it. And watching Serbia

79
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 1: in that first preliminary round. You could see they didn't

80
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 1: have it, especially with bogged down out. Larry Market on

81
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 1: the first possession had Jokic out on the perimeter and

82
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,000
Speaker 1: he went right by him ready for a left handed dunk,

83
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: and he missed, but it didn't matter because he just

84
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: kept fighting. A minute later he had to put back dunk,

85
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: then he missed a shot, put back miss, then he

86
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: had missed it again, and then he got another put back.

87
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: So he was just going at it, and then he

88
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: had a four point play. Did he mean to bank

89
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 1: home a three and get felt the same time, Probably not,

90
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: but he was just going at it. He had the

91
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 1: step backs in the mid post. He had fourteen points

92
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: in the first half because he was really just going hard.

93
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: This team got up on Serbia, I mean right away,

94
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: eleven to one, thirteen three, sixteen, five, twenty nine. They

95
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: were bringing it, and the Serbs came back of Ramovic

96
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: or Buddy who got injured in the last game, but

97
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: he did come out. He was playing hard. Their double

98
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:36,359
Speaker 1: bigs kind of did their thing, rebounding. Mitchich, who looked

99
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: old last game, had a huge deep three. He's going

100
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: to Israel next year. He ain't even coming to the NBA,

101
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: but they all fought back, and then you mentioned that

102
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: Valtonen who sealed it at the end for Finland. This

103
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: guy is definitely a role player who you wouldn't think

104
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: would put up eight points in the last two minutes

105
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: and just going at Jokic literally literally Adam under two

106
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: minutes left, I got Jokic, I'll do this. I mean,

107
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 1: he went Adam, he set up marketing, then he hit

108
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: a three with two minutes left that he tipped it in.

109
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: Then he hit another three, so he went crazy. But

110
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: you just look at Serbia in the preliminary round and

111
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,240
Speaker 1: you look at the numbers of this game. Finland had

112
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,719
Speaker 1: twenty offensive rebounds on forty four misses, so you're basically

113
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,720
Speaker 1: getting an offensive rebound every second miss. I mean, do

114
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: you want it more?

115
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,239
Speaker 2: Yeah?

116
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: They did, and the Serbs just didn't look like it.

117
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: They didn't look like themselves. So you know, the the

118
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: Serbs just weren't themselves.

119
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 2: They were control every now, they were chilling. They were

120
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 2: hitting some threes early on, and they kind of got

121
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: into settling mode. I thought. Down the stretch, especially Jokic

122
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: was great, thirty three points in thirty four minutes, but

123
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: he also had to play thirty four minutes, and there

124
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 2: were times when he was a target defensively for the

125
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 2: finished team. You're right, Balton in It seemed like the

126
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 2: two threes he hit late in this game, he was like, oh,

127
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 2: you're really gonna give me this shot because he jab

128
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: stepped into it. Jokic didn't move, so it's like, fine,

129
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 2: I'll take it if you're not going to step out.

130
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: Hit a couple of them, and you know, when you're

131
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 2: watching the highlights back, there is a lot of Number

132
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 2: fifteen in Serbia looking on as these baskets are happening.

133
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 2: It ain't Jokic's fault that they lost, but he was

134
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 2: on the receiving end of a lot of these buckets

135
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: from the finished team. That was just fun to watch.

136
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 2: I love this guy. Miran and Mika miran him. We're

137
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: calling him slim Jesus. He's eighteen years old. Literally, he

138
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: should be in a high school classroom right now. School

139
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: is back in session. Get this guy a book, but

140
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 2: it seems like he knows everything on the basketball court.

141
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 2: He plays like he's thirty six years old. Zero fear

142
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 2: in this guy. When he gets out on the fast break,

143
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: you're getting a highlight for sure. And then, like I said,

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: he's going to get a taunting technical almost every single game.

145
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 2: You would think it's the first time he's ever scored.

146
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 2: Every time he scores.

147
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, you mentioned everything. Everybody loves that guy just because

148
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: he looks cool. And yeah, I really liked to see

149
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: in these In these things, elimination games, anything can happen.

150
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: So we mentioned that veltanin nobody on this side of

151
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: the Atlantic, nobody knows Elias Fulton really. I mean he

152
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,680
Speaker 1: went to Arizona State. I looked him up, but he

153
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: was really strictly a role guy. But to see him

154
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: not just because the ball was rotating, but because he

155
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: could do a step chat and step back and hit

156
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: it in Jokic's face, I mean that's These are all

157
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 1: big moments and Finland can win a big game like this,

158
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: And people shut me up because I didn't talk about

159
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: marketing leading into this tournament as a guy to watch,

160
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: and bang he showed up. Not efficient, I think he's

161
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 1: like one for nine from three. Who cares, h he

162
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 1: kind of he led the way for this team and

163
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: they all had it. They all had it going on.

164
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: Let's move on to Italy. Slovenia, where Luca also showing up.

165
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: What a monster, the best Luka Doncic defensive game I've

166
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: ever seen. That ain't misinformation. I want EuroBasket to tweet

167
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: that is it real? Can you measure it? No, That's

168
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: why it's true. Luka Doncic was awesome. They just schooled

169
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: Italy from the get go.

170
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had Luka Doncic and that was really the

171
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 2: only difference in this game. Forty two of the eighty

172
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 2: four points for Slovenia came at the hands of Luka Doncic,

173
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: only one assist, and he got it early on a

174
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 2: beautiful pass from basically half court out of the pick

175
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 2: and roll. Don't know how it got through, but when

176
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 2: you see Luca put up a forty two point game

177
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,880
Speaker 2: with one assist, you know he's out there trying to score.

178
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 2: He was dripping wet. Afterwards, he tried to get Rudy

179
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 2: Fernandez a hug, and Rudy wouldn't take it because the

180
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: guy was way too sweaty, which means he was working hard.

181
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 2: That's how you can always tell if Luca. If his

182
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: hair is down on his face, you know he's putting

183
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 2: an effort in out there, but he looks like the

184
00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: best player in the world right now, especially since Serbia

185
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: got bounced early. You can claim it's Luca, but he

186
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: looks like there's nobody who can figure out a way

187
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: to guard him. Here. He talked about getting he had

188
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 2: easy guarding early on, scored some baskets. I think he

189
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: had twenty two in the first quarter, so then they

190
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 2: started doubling him and guess what, he only had eight

191
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 2: in the third court the second quarter, so just a

192
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 2: mild thirty at halftime. I guess you could say that

193
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: Italy shut him down in the second half, only twelve points,

194
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 2: and it kind of looked like they were coming back.

195
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 2: A nice little boost by the Italians in the fourth quarter.

196
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 2: They had some momentum when Fontechio hit that crazy shot

197
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: from the corner to pull within one, but then Luca

198
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 2: just kept going to the line. Italy couldn't get a

199
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,679
Speaker 2: stop without falling and Slovenia was able to knock down

200
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 2: some free throws and got a comfortable win on the

201
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: back of Luca. He's going up against the German team,

202
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: I believe next that's going to be a huge test

203
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: for him. But in a single game, elimination tournament, like

204
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,600
Speaker 2: the Duke could have fifty and then you're going home.

205
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 2: That's exactly what happened to Italy.

206
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, he was sweaty, he was going at it. I

207
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: don't know if it was hot in Riga Latvia in

208
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: that arena, because I think the crew chief, actually Matthew

209
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Lee Kllio, he's from Canada. That man was wet too.

210
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is about the ref jerseys

211
00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: during EuroBasket, but it looked like he had a bib

212
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 1: like he was ready to eat, like it was just

213
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 1: a sweat bib that he had going on. And I

214
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe they should ask the NBA for their jerseys.

215
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: But either way, Luca was awesome and sweating because he

216
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: was really given it on the defensive end. I mentioned that,

217
00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: and I think, like you said, he was thirty points

218
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: in the first half and twelve in the second half.

219
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 1: He had to slow down defensively as well. I mean

220
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: the first possession he was posted by Melly, he was

221
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: getting out in front of that post, in front of

222
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: that post up and then the second one as well,

223
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 1: he stole both times. He was trying to make steels

224
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: like all game he was really fighting hard, and he

225
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 1: was getting hit as well. He banged knees early in

226
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,719
Speaker 1: this game. He went to the locker room after the

227
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:45,199
Speaker 1: first quarter. He sat with two point three seconds left

228
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 1: in the second quarter just to get him more rest.

229
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: But he was classic Luca. I mean literally stepped back

230
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: threes and whoever's face. They tried to throw Semoni Fontechio

231
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: because he's kind of his size at him, nothing really worked.

232
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: He was just on fire. He was yapping with the referees.

233
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,360
Speaker 1: He was just classic Luca out there. I mean, the

234
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: EuroBasket should make a montage of all the times he

235
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: bickers at referees because he does it so well. He's

236
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: just he'sn't natural at it, you know, like he's bringing the.

237
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Ball up, he does complain. You're saying he complains all

238
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 2: the time, but guess what, he still gets file calls

239
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: he's taking. He took sixteen free throws in this game,

240
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 2: made fifteen of them. I mentioned on our first show

241
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 2: he's the only guy who still gets NBA file calls

242
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 2: in FOBA. But he's the best guy out there, so

243
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 2: you kind of understand why.

244
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I admire how he does it. Like

245
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 1: to start a possession while he's off the ball, while

246
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,559
Speaker 1: he's asking for a foul on the miss like during plays,

247
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: after plays, he just he's really good at it. But yes,

248
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 1: he just gets it done after the game. Yeah, and

249
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: there was clips of you mentioned Rudy Fernandez and Jorge Garbajosa,

250
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: who are part of the Spanish Basketball Federation, and you

251
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: could just see Rudy just doing the what what is

252
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,200
Speaker 1: this guy? I mean, they're just Spain's done, but they're

253
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 1: just taking in this game. Horay. Garbajosa didn't have much

254
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 1: of a reaction because I don't think he reacts anything,

255
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: but they just were watching this guy do it, and

256
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: Simone tried to give it to him and they all

257
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: tried to get back into this game. But weird four

258
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: on one that turned it into an offensive foul for

259
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 1: Italy in the third quarter when they were down nine

260
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: it would have been seven as they were trying to

261
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,319
Speaker 1: come back. That hurt, but yeah, they got into such

262
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: a big hole, and that's what happens in these forty

263
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: minute games. They were down twenty nine to eleven after

264
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,439
Speaker 1: the first quarter and couldn't fight back against that dude.

265
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: We will see him against as you said, Germany on Wednesday.

266
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: Tough one for Luca, but it'll be fun.

267
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, it should be an awesome game. And I mean

268
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: Italy did a good job to get back in the game.

269
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 2: They just didn't have Luca and Slovenia did. And I

270
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,479
Speaker 2: think going forward, Italy will no longer have Danilo Gallinari

271
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: pulling in Nick Vucivich retiring immediately after the loss here,

272
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: so he's done. Booch is done. I think Scariola, the

273
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 2: coach from Spain retired after they got bounced before the

274
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 2: round of sixteen too, So you know, a new era

275
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 2: in euro Basket.

276
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,360
Speaker 1: People just want to party, I guess, and just say

277
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm gonna enjoy myself after my last game,

278
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: Let's have some fun. Let's move on to this next game.

279
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:21,760
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I was definitely cheering on for Greece.

280
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: I was with all those Greek fans that made the travel.

281
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: I guess it's like I did the the Google maps.

282
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: It's like thirty hours from Greece to drive to Lafia.

283
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: It's a three hour flight if they're in that kind

284
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: of mood. But I was chearing with them. But this

285
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: was I think the worst game of these two days

286
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: that we watched here these eight games, Greece took care

287
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: of business. Yiannis was a monster, dropping thirty seven, getting

288
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: out to his classic self. He just looks so great.

289
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 1: You're we'll get to Greece and how they freed him

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: up and they did a great job. But maybe this

291
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: because this was game eight of eight, So why was

292
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: this Dudsville tray? Or is this just me?

293
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 2: No, you're right, this one was kind of a snooze alert.

294
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: But it was the last game out of eight of them,

295
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: Like you're saying, we saw some amazing upsets earlier in

296
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 2: the weekend, and this was coming off of a forty

297
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 2: two pointer from Luca Doncins that was close to the end,

298
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 2: and this one was close to the end too, But

299
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 2: much like the Slovenia game, one team had it an

300
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 2: NBA MVP candidate and the other team didn't. Thirty seven

301
00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: for Giannis. The only other guy who even made an

302
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 2: impact to me was semador Off seven points, four offensive rebounds.

303
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,200
Speaker 2: This guy was all over the place. Anytime Grease missed,

304
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 2: it seemed like they were getting the ball back off

305
00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: the offensive rebound, and when it came down to it,

306
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 2: they could just throw it up to Jannis and he

307
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 2: would dunk it pretty easily. So nice for the Greek

308
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 2: team to pull off the win.

309
00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, it wasn't all that exciting. I liked how

310
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: they didn't go to Giannis right away on the first

311
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 1: possession because Costa Slucas the oldie. He brought it up

312
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: and they just left him wide over and they could

313
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: have run a play for Jannest but he said, all right,

314
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: you're giving me that space, I'm going to hit that shot.

315
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 1: He stepped into it, he stepped on the line and

316
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: he hit a shot instead of running a play for

317
00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 1: Jannis and making them a predictable team, which is what

318
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 1: I think Israel did. On on the other side, Denny

319
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:21,320
Speaker 1: Avdio was taken out by Cosas Papa Knakalou as our

320
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: man Eric Reid used to call him at the Miami

321
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 1: Heat when Cosas Papa Nicolau was in the NBA, we

322
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:31,560
Speaker 1: made a video of Eric Reed saying Cosas Papa Knakalou

323
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: he was. He did a great job of fronting of Dia,

324
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640
Speaker 1: not letting him catch the ball, and the first seven

325
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: minutes Avdia, Who's had a great tournament, he didn't get

326
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: anywhere close to the rim. He took him till late

327
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: in the first quarter to get there, and I thought

328
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: part of it was that part of it was not

329
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: playing Raman Sorkin, who was really good for this team.

330
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: He didn't start. I mean, he was playing like thirty

331
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: minutes a game through the early part of this tournament.

332
00:16:57,320 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: They decided, I guess, not to play him against Giannis.

333
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: They thought it could work. It worked for Lithuania, We'll

334
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:06,439
Speaker 1: get to that Jonas Valentuna sitting for them, but it

335
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,640
Speaker 1: didn't work here and they just had no flow, absolutely

336
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: no flow. They were dropping balls all over the place.

337
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: Like first in the first half, Grease shot two of

338
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,800
Speaker 1: eleven from three, still up nine. Throughout the whole game

339
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,359
Speaker 1: they shot four of twenty five from three, six of

340
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: twelve from the free throw line. They weren't that good,

341
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 1: but it doesn't matter because Jannis was literally kicking as

342
00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: and I think it really just helped getting him that space.

343
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 1: Others were drawing some attention and he was dancing out there.

344
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: The eurostep was really happening here in the EuroBasket transition,

345
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: the baseline spins. He was just on fire. Well, Israel

346
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: couldn't do it. It complained so much about fouls and that

347
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:49,640
Speaker 1: Denny wasn't getting the touches.

348
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 2: But not in a good way like Luca. I didn't

349
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: like how they were complaining.

350
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, Luca, you're right. I hate how Luca complaints. But

351
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: today now, No, today was cool. I know, like NBA,

352
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:05,920
Speaker 1: don't like, don't like seeing it every game. Today today

353
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: they had I mean, he's skilled, he's a skilled complainer.

354
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: I didn't think Israel really had it. I don't think

355
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 1: they had as much reason to complain. Although what they

356
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: should get in EuroBasket is the hawkeye camera. We saw

357
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: it last year in the NBA. It could have helped out.

358
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: Janis had a putback that they were wondering was that

359
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 1: after the shot clock, and man, it was so close.

360
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,439
Speaker 1: They need the freaking hawk gye and they gave him

361
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: those two points that hurt, that hurt Israel. I see

362
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 1: this question here why is Israel in the euros from

363
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: Garren Luke. That's a great question. No one knows. No

364
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 1: one ever knows why Israel is playing in every is

365
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 1: in both the EuroLeague and the euro Basket. No one knows.

366
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: But the Greeks took care of business and they were gone,

367
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 1: right quick. This was one you just had to run

368
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 1: Yanis out there and yeah, Israel didn't not have it going.

369
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, Israel made twenty six shots in the game. Janis

370
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,359
Speaker 2: made eighteen, so it was basically Yannis versus the Israeli team.

371
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: And guess what, Jannis is better than every single player

372
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: they've got, so they can substand withstand the Greek team

373
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 2: shooting four for twenty five from three. They didn't get

374
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 2: any free throw attempts, like you're saying, six of twelve

375
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 2: at the line, but also eighteen offensive rebounds, so when

376
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 2: they missed, Janis got the board and put it back in.

377
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: My last note has nothing to do with basketball and

378
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: is only for the basketball media geeks. I will say

379
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: a Greek player, Paneotis kalia Zakis, kalia Zakis, he looks

380
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:43,480
Speaker 1: like a young Joseph Kosharo of the score. There needs

381
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: to be a split screen of young Joe Kasharo and

382
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: kalia Zakis. I don't know if it's the size of

383
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 1: their nose or what it is, but they look so similar.

384
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 2: That's it. Okay.

385
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,719
Speaker 1: Moving on, Let's get to Germany Portugal because Germany is

386
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: the freaking favorite in this tournament and they look like

387
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: it against Portugal, though, this was close until the fourth

388
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:06,919
Speaker 1: quarter when they really turned it on.

389
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:09,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, this was like a ten point game going into

390
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, and somehow it ended up being a

391
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:14,959
Speaker 2: thirty three to seven fourth quarter for Germany. They end

392
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,920
Speaker 2: up winning by thirty. But I thought Portugal played pretty well.

393
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,120
Speaker 2: I thought they were staying in the game. I thought

394
00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 2: they were playing a little bit more under control than

395
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 2: the German team was. But maybe it was just a

396
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 2: matter of Germany not making their open shots. Because once

397
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 2: Maudo Low started getting hot in the fourth quarter, it

398
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 2: really was over in an avalanche. So I don't know

399
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 2: what the Germanic word for avalanches, but I'm sure it

400
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,040
Speaker 2: sounds awesome and I'm sure they were screaming it as

401
00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: they happened. Germany looked like they were in danger of

402
00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: an upset, but then in that last quarter you're like, oh, right,

403
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,359
Speaker 2: they're a well oiled offensive machine. They got every sort

404
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 2: of shot they want. I think Franz ended up with

405
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 2: only sixteen points, but he has been incredible in this tournament,

406
00:20:57,359 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: average in twenty a game on sixty percent shooting, and

407
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:02,959
Speaker 2: it feels like if he gets the ball with a

408
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 2: step in transition. It's going to be a dunk or

409
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 2: a layup at the rim because he looks like the biggest,

410
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,360
Speaker 2: fastest guy out there when he's running the wing.

411
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna believe what two stream teamers are saying, because

412
00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: it is it's not coming from one person, it's coming

413
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 1: from two. Well, it's coming down from three. The Germanic

414
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 1: word for avalanche is levine or levine or something like that.

415
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: Great cool, that's what it was. Yeah, you've had a

416
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: cool story, bro.

417
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, Maodo Low what a great name. And you just

418
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: see l on the back of the guy's jersey. Yeah,

419
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 1: he came in and he changed the game in the

420
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. They won the fourth quarter thirty three seven.

421
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: That guy comes in splash threes. He's a backup point guard.

422
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: Boom boom, boom boom. He hit four threes. Overall, they

423
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 1: just have enough because they are so deep. He is

424
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: just a guy you never really scout for. I imagine

425
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 1: too much anyway, But yeah, you mentioned all the other guys,

426
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 1: and Franz and Tristan Tristan da Silva actually speaking of

427
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: their depth, I made a note because Franz Wagner has

428
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 1: Franz on the back of his name. Tristan Da Silva

429
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,000
Speaker 1: has Tristan on the back of his name. Will there

430
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: ever be a point where NBA players have the option

431
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my first name on my jersey. I

432
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:31,520
Speaker 1: think that'll ever happen because it could mean Dalla dollar bills,

433
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: like it could mean a kid sitting there says, WHOA,

434
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 1: I gotta print my first name on my jersey, or

435
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 1: or you know, just that kind of thing, open it

436
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,439
Speaker 1: up a little bit, or is that too gimmicky, like

437
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 1: to actually put a first name. I don't want to go.

438
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 2: They should do it. They should do it. They should

439
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 2: do it for when teams released their city edition jerseys,

440
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,919
Speaker 2: you should be able to pick whatever is on the

441
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:57,640
Speaker 2: back of your jersey. We've had something similar. I think

442
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 2: it was the Heat versus the Nets played one game

443
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 2: with nicknames on the back. Ray Allen had Shuttlesworth on

444
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,719
Speaker 2: the back of his jersey. Lebron had King James. So

445
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: it has happened. You can even go further back to

446
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 2: Pete Maravitch wearing pistol with quotation marks around it. That's sick.

447
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 2: When you can put extra punctuation on the back of

448
00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 2: a jersey, I say, go for it, because if we're

449
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: gonna have these ridiculous jerseys, why don't you just go

450
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: to the next level and throw a nikola on the

451
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 2: back of it or a tarness smart.

452
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you isolate it just for city edition jerseys,

453
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 1: that can make sense. You don't have to do it

454
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 1: all the time. And there's you see, we're showing you

455
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: here Franz had from with Franz on the back of

456
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,199
Speaker 1: his jersey and people saying here, oh, Nane used to

457
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,200
Speaker 1: do that. Well, he changed his name and literally got

458
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: rid of the rest of his name, so that was

459
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,360
Speaker 1: his name, like he was you know, Ronaldo or Neymar

460
00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: or Pele or something.

461
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 2: Fred. If I was about that guy who played for Brazil,

462
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 2: it said Fred on the back of the jersey.

463
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: It's a great name. If Fred van Vliet came to

464
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: a game that bread on the bakery City edition, do

465
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,800
Speaker 1: it at me, all right. We will see Germany versus

466
00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: Slovenia on Wednesday and again we'll be back after the

467
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 1: last game on Wednesday, those two Germany's Slovenia, Finland Georgia

468
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: and a couple quarterfinals on the Tuesday before that, where

469
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Lithuania will be a part of one taking on Greece

470
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: because they went into Lafia, went into Riga Lafia and one.

471
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: This was a fun, fun game. Is a great start

472
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: to this game for Lithuania. Their fans traveled. It was

473
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,280
Speaker 1: a blast. As I said Jonas Fealatunas coming off the bench.

474
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: Obviously Latvia was into it. Good fight. What'd you think

475
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: of this game? Right?

476
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, good fight by the Latvian team, Like you're saying,

477
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 2: the crowd was completely insane for this one. Porzingis played

478
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 2: great thirty four points, nineteen boards, but it was Arnot's

479
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 2: Velitka who was the story for the Lithuanian team, stepping

480
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: in for the Yakabiitis. I believe. I think they call

481
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: this guy the babyface Killer. They also call him the

482
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 2: Baltic Mamba, and then of course people thought he was

483
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 2: Alex Caruso reincarnated. Twenty one points and twelve assists for Valitska,

484
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 2: and it was awesome because a few of the assists

485
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: were like, you know, Lithuanian system assists where I passed

486
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 2: it to the top of top of the key, there's

487
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: a guy coming and cutting up hitting an easy three.

488
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: But then there was a bunch of assists where he's

489
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 2: beating his guy off the dribble and pick and roll

490
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: and finding amazing passes where you're not even seeing a

491
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 2: guy come open. He was in complete control of the game.

492
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 2: And that was the difference for Lithuania. A little disappointing,

493
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 2: I think for Latvia to not get any sort of

494
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 2: performance from their backcourt and in the way that the

495
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 2: Lithuanian team did, but a major step up in performance

496
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: by Alex Karuskovit.

497
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: Karuskavitts. He did it man, Yeah, you're right. The back

498
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: court was a little disappointing. There was the were showing

499
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 1: you the photoshop that people were doing. Not a great photoshop.

500
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 1: I will say. It's a big ass led touva jersey

501
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: that als Caruso has on him. He's just just chilling there.

502
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,879
Speaker 1: But they didn't get anything from the back court. Zagers

503
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 1: archer Zago, who's usually awesome, three of twelve, and he

504
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: had some passing, you know, because that's what he does.

505
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: He had five assists. But even though christophs Porzingis was

506
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: out there, he was into a pregame. It looked like

507
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: the most expressive emotive Kris Stops I've seen him. He

508
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 1: was so into this game all those Lithuanian fans were

509
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,640
Speaker 1: there for their team, and all of the Latvian fans

510
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 1: obviously there for them. He was into it and he

511
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:44,479
Speaker 1: got he got to work. I mean he had it

512
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: off the ball block, like doing his post work. He

513
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,439
Speaker 1: missed a shot from mid range and winning got the

514
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,119
Speaker 1: miss and put it back, and then he did the

515
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: same thing with a missed three point shot. It bounced

516
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: up so high off the rim that he went and

517
00:26:57,160 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 1: dunked that like he was getting after it. Four to

518
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:06,040
Speaker 1: three thirty four points nineteen fricking rebounds. Was fantastic, but

519
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: they just didn't get enough from their backcourt. And you

520
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: mentioned Vilichka twenty one points twelve assists with Tubellus, that

521
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,880
Speaker 1: those two guys they were key. I think they just

522
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 1: were in, as you said, in their system. And tu

523
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 1: Bellis was really good that apparently this is his first

524
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 1: Yuro basket. I was unaware of that, but he had

525
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: key buckets early or to end the third, early fourth,

526
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: eighteen points twelve rebounds for that lefty. And I mentioned

527
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: as I said, Jonas coming off the bench, and it worked.

528
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,800
Speaker 1: I mean they they thought, I think, to keep their

529
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,360
Speaker 1: switching defensively as much as part of their system as possible,

530
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: and you know it's might be a little too slow

531
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: and offensively, just keep everybody moving instead of having that

532
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 1: guy as a focus in the post. And it worked.

533
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: He only played nine to forty seven, had nine points,

534
00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,320
Speaker 1: even though he's a legend. Yeah, he had no problem

535
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: doing that. I imagined, so very very fun game. Yeah, yeah,

536
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: we love.

537
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:09,359
Speaker 2: JV, but he is slowness Valancunas and Porzingis has legitimately

538
00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 2: incredible range, especially in a EuroBasket tournament where it looks

539
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 2: like he's pulling up from half court on some of

540
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 2: his three So smart moved by the Lithuanian coach to

541
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 2: go with their more mobile guys to try and do

542
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,879
Speaker 2: something against Porzing. Yes, it didn't necessarily work, but at

543
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:25,480
Speaker 2: least the strategy makes sense.

544
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,199
Speaker 1: And it makes sense for both of the teams of

545
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:33,120
Speaker 1: those guys coming into the NBA to be excited. Chriss

546
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:36,240
Speaker 1: porzingis looking way more like himself for the Atlanta Hawks,

547
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: while even though valan chun Is coming off the bench,

548
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,240
Speaker 1: that's what he's going to be doing for the Denver Nuggets,

549
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 1: and he did it well. He did it well throughout

550
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: this this tournament, and he had no problem coming off

551
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: the bench in a couple of games. He did it

552
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 1: versus Sweden as well. All right, let's move on to

553
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: France Georgia, where Georgia upset France.

554
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 2: Although France didn't.

555
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,480
Speaker 1: Look like themselves throughout the early part of this tournament

556
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: without Wemby, they needed more from some of their guys.

557
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: They're deep, but they're super young, and Georgia took care

558
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 1: of it.

559
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 2: Trey, Yeah, I saw after the game. Mam Wu said,

560
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 2: too bad Wemby wasn't here, because we would have beat

561
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,960
Speaker 2: him if he was playing anyways, and maybe they would have.

562
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:19,040
Speaker 2: Mam Wu had a pretty solid game fourteen points and

563
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 2: eleven rebounds. But we talked about how France has good

564
00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 2: depth on the wing and they've got some good young

565
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 2: big guys, but maybe their back court was going to

566
00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 2: be their Achilles heel, and it ended up being their

567
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: Achilles heel. Baldwin twenty four points for the Georgian team,

568
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,400
Speaker 2: tornication Galia twenty four points as well. I thought they

569
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 2: both completely outplayed the French backcourt. It was shen Galia

570
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 2: early he hit a rondo the announcers couldn't believe it,

571
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 2: and then later on Kamar Baldwin was just getting hot

572
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 2: on the step back three, and then once they had

573
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280
Speaker 2: to respect the jumper, it was easy pickings getting in

574
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: the lane. France went six of thirty six from three.

575
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: Their team isn't the team that we're going to see

576
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 2: from France down the line, but some good experience for

577
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 2: those guys. Georgia has been one of the most fun

578
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 2: teams to watch because I didn't think it was just

579
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:12,400
Speaker 2: Mamu taken over. Goga had an okay game. He got pulled,

580
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 2: he got very angry in the first half, but then

581
00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 2: they just needed him to rebound later on, so he

582
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 2: came in and rebounded while the guards took over. That

583
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:21,480
Speaker 2: was the difference was the backcourt.

584
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, France didn't have it, while Kamar Baldwin

585
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,960
Speaker 1: comes in screating his own threes. He didn't need any help,

586
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: and he had fourteen first half points. Even in the

587
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: late real real key bucket with three forty left hit

588
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 1: the dcell. He was the best guard in this game,

589
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: no doubt. While France couldn't get enough from Isaiah Cordonnier'd

590
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 1: be great to have him in the NBA because I

591
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:50,440
Speaker 1: know we're losers and nerds, and we look at the

592
00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: spelling and we've never had an Isaiah spelled the way

593
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 1: he does it. I aia, that's it. And he was

594
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: a second round pick but never never made it to

595
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:05,280
Speaker 1: the NBA. Other than that, I mean they were looked.

596
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,280
Speaker 1: The thing is with this team, they go through Yabucel

597
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,320
Speaker 1: over and over and over again, and he was doing

598
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: a lot. He was their guy, but they just couldn't

599
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: get enough from Bill Alkolibali, who was silent in this game.

600
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,960
Speaker 2: He had a stinker of a tournament. If we're being

601
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 2: quite honest, this guy was awesome in the Olympic Tournament

602
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 2: last summer, played major fourth quarter minutes in the loss

603
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: to the US, and I think he was like six

604
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,320
Speaker 2: points per game, didn't score at all, and he just

605
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:38,479
Speaker 2: looked kind of lost on the court after a pretty

606
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 2: solid start. I think he had a really good game

607
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 2: in their very first game, but it was like the

608
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 2: first game, yeah, exactly. You could tell he was just

609
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 2: the best wing athlete on the court. Every time he

610
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 2: caught the ball, he was able to put it down

611
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 2: and get to the hoop. Once the competition stepped up

612
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 2: a little bit, Koolibali was invisible.

613
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if it's the environment, just being

614
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,040
Speaker 1: in La Fiel the Nation round, because it felt like

615
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:07,479
Speaker 1: him in Zachary Risachet, who's twenty. His first run when

616
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: he stepped on the floor coming off the bench, it

617
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:11,840
Speaker 1: was a bad one. I mean, he just pushed to

618
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 1: Georgian to get a foul and then he missed two threes.

619
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,040
Speaker 1: He missed a put back and then another foul and

620
00:32:16,040 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: then he went to the bench. I mean it was

621
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: it was bad. He got better as the game went on,

622
00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: he got better than what Kolibali did, but it felt

623
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: like Coolbali in the first game was coming into his

624
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: own a little bit. But in this game, I mean,

625
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: he really could have had to steal the first possession,

626
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: but he just wasn't wasn't mentally there whatever was going on. Now,

627
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 1: he got a butt screen by Shngalia where it hit

628
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: his hip and he was holding his hip a little bit,

629
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: and he did shut down Mamu who I would give

630
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: him the MVP just because he talks so much and

631
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 1: I like hearing him talking. I want to see him

632
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: on the Raptors as a backup. But Kolbali just just

633
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: wasn't all mentally there. And that was I was a

634
00:32:55,320 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: problem for France. I mean, as I said, they were

635
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:01,480
Speaker 1: relying on Yabusele. They had guys out there at cool

636
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: Vallei and Cordonier and Maledon, and you'd think a Cobo

637
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: or Francisco would come on and help out, but they didn't.

638
00:33:09,280 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 1: It was just it was more a good defensive effort

639
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: from Jet but no real great offensive. Like you mentioned

640
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 1: the Shengalia Rondo ball fake and you mentioned or you

641
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:26,720
Speaker 1: said his name with a great pronunciation. Can you give

642
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: me that again, because I don't know how to pronounce this.

643
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 2: Shengalia. Wasn't he a one time Brooklyn Net I'm not mistaken.

644
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:37,560
Speaker 2: He probably has a ring or profile written about him.

645
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 2: He had three or four good games. So that's enough.

646
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:44,120
Speaker 2: In the first quarter of this game, in the first quarter,

647
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 2: not five minutes in, One announcer says to the other,

648
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:49,240
Speaker 2: just want to say, Jeff, the Georgian team has some

649
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 2: great beards. Jeff replies, they do. It felt to me

650
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 2: like other guy was legitimately impressed by the beards that

651
00:33:59,640 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 2: the Georgie the team was playing with. But I'm sure

652
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 2: he had seen them at some point. It couldn't have

653
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: been their first thing. I don't know.

654
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, it seemed like to me those guys were also

655
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,920
Speaker 1: doing multiple games a day, and I think they're a

656
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:18,200
Speaker 1: little a little tired. Jeff and the other guy whose

657
00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: name was never said, what is.

658
00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,839
Speaker 2: The other guy? The other guy always says Jeff.

659
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: Yeah he does. It's like you see what they're running here,

660
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 1: Jeff and the other I would never say his name,

661
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,440
Speaker 1: and I thought he kind of sounded like Jim Peterson,

662
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: who was the Timberwolves analyst.

663
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: He does.

664
00:34:32,160 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: Look and I'm googling, is Jim Peterson in laughy a.

665
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:37,520
Speaker 1: Is he doing the EuroBasket? And he was in France.

666
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:39,200
Speaker 1: He was close, But I don't think that was Jim.

667
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: No one knows what that guy's name is. I couldn't

668
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: find that guy's name, and he all he was saying

669
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,840
Speaker 1: was I think Jeff asked him, you know, what are

670
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,560
Speaker 1: you gonna do after this tournament. You're gonna go out,

671
00:34:48,600 --> 00:34:50,520
Speaker 1: You're gonna have some fun, and he said, oh yeah,

672
00:34:50,680 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 1: oh yeah, I'm gonna go out. I'm gonna go walk

673
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 1: and see the streets. I think he was just done working.

674
00:34:55,719 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 1: That's That's really no good story there. That's all I

675
00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 1: gotta say about that.

676
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: All right.

677
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: Moving on to Turkey Sweden, because we were looking forward

678
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: to Turkey going into the elimination round, and they took

679
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: care of Sweden, although again got close, but Alprin Shangun awesome,

680
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: Turkey looking like a real squad from one to the bench, Trey.

681
00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:24,000
Speaker 2: Please task call him Daddy Shangun twenty four point sixteen rebounds,

682
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,880
Speaker 2: six assists, and two blocks. I didn't necessarily think this

683
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,319
Speaker 2: was Sheng Goon's best game, just eight for sixteen from

684
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,760
Speaker 2: the field, but he made a ton of big plays

685
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:35,279
Speaker 2: down the stretch after the Swedes made a pretty decent

686
00:35:35,320 --> 00:35:38,320
Speaker 2: comeback in the fourth quarter. It was Sheng Goon getting

687
00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:41,600
Speaker 2: busy on the offensive glass or creating for others. He

688
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 2: is kind of the definition of the euro step right now.

689
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 2: I feel like every single one of his baskets in

690
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 2: the lane is him sidestepping a guy as he's rumbling down.

691
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 2: I would probably if they put it to a vote

692
00:35:55,160 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 2: right now, I would vote for Schenggun as MVP of

693
00:35:57,600 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 2: the tournament. So far, I wouldn't be surprised at all

694
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 2: to see Turkey pull off and upset and win this

695
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 2: whole tournament. They're completely clicking right now, and they're all

696
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: just riding on the back of Daddy Shangun.

697
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're you're totally right. I would definitely think about it.

698
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: I think Jannis has missed two games. If we're going

699
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:21,200
Speaker 1: to get into the the finer print here and think

700
00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:25,600
Speaker 1: about Luca obviously was great. The fans out there calling

701
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 1: MVP for like basically anybody out there is hilarious. They're

702
00:36:29,239 --> 00:36:33,440
Speaker 1: chanting MVP literally for anybody. But Shangun has been so

703
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 1: so good, especially because he had such a great game

704
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:40,080
Speaker 1: against Jokic. I mean, he's shaken defenders. You mentioned the

705
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,600
Speaker 1: euro step that he's he's dropping guys when doubles are

706
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: coming for him. He's so ready that the assists are

707
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:50,200
Speaker 1: so high. He had a great pass to Ursanosmani when

708
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: he's playing the two man game with Shane Larkin, so

709
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,360
Speaker 1: they're just they're just clicking. The only thing not clicking

710
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: for him is the opening tip pass that he's trying

711
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:01,600
Speaker 1: every game, which is fun, Like he just tries to hammer.

712
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 1: It's it's a slap like you go get it. Sometimes

713
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,920
Speaker 1: it works, sometimes it doesn't. But those guys I couldn't

714
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:11,840
Speaker 1: believe watching again, Sweden was hanging in. It was the

715
00:37:11,880 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 1: fourth quarter but Jeddy Osmin was so awesome in this game.

716
00:37:15,040 --> 00:37:16,799
Speaker 1: He had his first four to three pointers in this game,

717
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:19,800
Speaker 1: he had seventeen points. Adam Bona coming off the bench,

718
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 1: did not expect this from him, but three big blocks

719
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: off the bench and under two minutes left yet hit

720
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: his last one. It was a huge one. So he's

721
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: going to be coming off the bench for the seventy

722
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,719
Speaker 1: six ers. I think he's he's growing more into that

723
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,520
Speaker 1: type of role. And Shane Larkin, as I said, that

724
00:37:36,560 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 1: guy plays almost every minute when he's out there for

725
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: this team, like literally almost every minute, and he does

726
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: his job out there. So this team is looking like

727
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,759
Speaker 1: a strong squad going up against Poland in their quarterfinal game,

728
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: mainly because of Shangoun, but then everybody else falls in line.

729
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, they've just got a really solid lineup, and like

730
00:37:55,880 --> 00:37:58,560
Speaker 2: you're saying, they are a little bit of Thibodeau ball

731
00:37:58,640 --> 00:38:01,799
Speaker 2: where they're starting five plays heavy, heavy minutes, and that

732
00:38:01,880 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: even went up at the start of the knockout phase.

733
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 2: But you know, it's only another week of EuroBasket. So

734
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 2: if Shane Larkin is comfortable going thirty seven minutes able

735
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:15,399
Speaker 2: to still produce laden games, that's probably how they're gonna

736
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,919
Speaker 2: roll those minutes, probably get even bigger and bigger room

737
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,440
Speaker 2: to get into like the semi finals and finals. Wouldn't

738
00:38:20,480 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 2: be surprising to see guys playing thirty eight, thirty nine,

739
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:23,959
Speaker 2: forty minutes even.

740
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's what Larkin does. I will say about Sweden,

741
00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 1: there are one four going into this game, so it's

742
00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: a pretty big win for them. I think to keep

743
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,240
Speaker 1: it fairly close till the end. And I'm pretty sold

744
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: by guys being their Foeba cells and even I'm not

745
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:44,640
Speaker 1: super sold on Pelly Larson contributing to the Miami Heat

746
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:48,840
Speaker 1: this coming season, but he had a good turnment, so

747
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:51,320
Speaker 1: that's it. That's so solid. It was a solid, solid,

748
00:38:51,719 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: Speaking of solid guys, our last quarter final, or I

749
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:57,279
Speaker 1: should say last game of the round of sixteen that

750
00:38:57,280 --> 00:39:02,560
Speaker 1: we're going to get to Poland beating Bosnia, our man

751
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: Jordan Lloyd being Jordan Lloyd again, twenty eight points to

752
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:11,360
Speaker 1: take out Bosnia as they move on to the quarter finals. Great,

753
00:39:11,400 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: great showing for Poland thus far.

754
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:17,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think Jordan Lloyd's probably an all tournament

755
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 2: team guy, at least if they do two teams, he's

756
00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,720
Speaker 2: certainly on there. Maybe he got Shrewder and Luca ahead

757
00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 2: of them as guards. But outside of that, I don't

758
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:27,600
Speaker 2: think there's anybody on par with what Jordan Lloyd's been

759
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:29,840
Speaker 2: able to do for them. Like you said, twenty eight points,

760
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,760
Speaker 2: only one assist. He was out there looking to score.

761
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,120
Speaker 2: I thought Punitka had a really solid game as well,

762
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,880
Speaker 2: nineteen points, eleven boards. They got a solid one two punch,

763
00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:40,879
Speaker 2: and I just feel like Poland has been taking care

764
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 2: of business. They haven't had any crazy wins, I don't

765
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 2: think so far, but every single night, or I guess

766
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,680
Speaker 2: for us, it's an afternoon, they go out there and

767
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:51,840
Speaker 2: they look like a quality team who knows how to

768
00:39:51,840 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 2: play well together.

769
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: I see this note here and I guess it's correct. Sorry.

770
00:39:57,239 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: Going back to the jerseys, we talked about the first

771
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: names being on the jerseys and Bim Bambino saying that, hey,

772
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,959
Speaker 1: they've got the front of their or their first names

773
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: on the back of their jerseys because their brothers are

774
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 1: on the team, like Fronz and Mo Wagner and Tristan

775
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: and Oscar de Silva. So what happens? I guess they

776
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: both there was a I guess Moe had his on

777
00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:25,960
Speaker 1: his name on his jersey last.

778
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:27,640
Speaker 2: Year, I'd say, Moritz, I feel like.

779
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:33,239
Speaker 1: Oh yeah yeah. Anyway, although I like this this note here,

780
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:37,840
Speaker 1: This is Skeet's chiming in that Jordan Lloyd needs Jordan

781
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,080
Speaker 1: on the back of his jersey right now.

782
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:43,480
Speaker 2: He's playing like a Jordan right now, scoring like crazy,

783
00:40:43,560 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: had a huge block off the glass as well. He's

784
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 2: found where he fits in. I believe you know. He

785
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:52,000
Speaker 2: was kind of a bit dude for the Raptors and

786
00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: the little cup of coffee he had, but looks like

787
00:40:54,120 --> 00:40:57,160
Speaker 2: an absolute star. He's the new Rhndez Hollis Jefferson as

788
00:40:57,200 --> 00:40:58,440
Speaker 2: far as I'm concerned.

789
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:04,759
Speaker 1: That's a great comparison. I think Jordan Lloyd needs to

790
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,920
Speaker 1: be asked by somebody out there in Europe if he

791
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,759
Speaker 1: thinks that Kawhi was paid off by the Clippers. Were

792
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:16,719
Speaker 1: they circumventing the salary cap? Because you know Kawhi, you

793
00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:20,399
Speaker 1: know him. Give us the details, Jordan Lloyd, what's going

794
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:23,800
Speaker 1: on with Steve Balmer? As we show you a clip

795
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 1: here on YouTube of Steve Bomber given some thigh rubs

796
00:41:29,280 --> 00:41:32,439
Speaker 1: years ago at a Clippers game. That was a weird one.

797
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 1: But this dude, I will say this is his first

798
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 1: appearance as a Polish player. I mean he's never played

799
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:44,440
Speaker 1: in Poland. Is he somehow circumventing the rules to be

800
00:41:44,440 --> 00:41:48,200
Speaker 1: able to play for Poland? Just making that up you

801
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:52,360
Speaker 1: basically can naturalize a lot of players. But yeah, he

802
00:41:52,440 --> 00:41:56,920
Speaker 1: was awesome. Man the Ronde Hollis Jefferson. That's a good

803
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: one because we may be seeing peak Jordan Lloyd right now.

804
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 1: But he's playing, he's playing so well. It will be

805
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: interesting to see them against Turkey because the Poland's playing

806
00:42:08,600 --> 00:42:12,279
Speaker 1: at a really high level. Their entire team, Uh, they've

807
00:42:12,280 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 1: got they've got so many guys helping out. But Turkey

808
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,279
Speaker 1: is playing so so well. So that side of the

809
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 1: bracket of those two with Lithuania and Greece, as we

810
00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 1: show you here on YouTube, what the bracket is Lithuania, Greece,

811
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:30,719
Speaker 1: Turkey and Pulled on one side, and on the other

812
00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:33,919
Speaker 1: it's Germany Slovenia which should be a freaking great game

813
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: in Finland and Georgia as your last quarterfinal. So those

814
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,520
Speaker 1: are the eight teams. Again, they happen on Tuesday, Wednesday.

815
00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 1: We will be back to talk about it on Wednesday.

816
00:42:43,400 --> 00:42:47,759
Speaker 1: Anything else to add basketball wise, Trey, do.

817
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:53,200
Speaker 2: You feel confident in the Greece Lithuania game. There ain't

818
00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 2: nobody to match up with Jannis for the Lithuanian team.

819
00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to start Jonis in this case.

820
00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 2: I don't necessar really know who could handle him. But

821
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,400
Speaker 2: it's also tough to beat a team like Lithuania basically

822
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,960
Speaker 2: single handedly. But maybe jannist can do it.

823
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:12,719
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, it's a toss up whether the Greeks get

824
00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:15,759
Speaker 1: something out from from their guards a little bit because

825
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 1: they did get some, they got to get some a

826
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,320
Speaker 1: little bit more because Lithuania is getting plenty from their guards.

827
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 1: So coin flip for me. Turkey I think should be

828
00:43:25,040 --> 00:43:25,520
Speaker 1: the favorite.

829
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:28,640
Speaker 2: In the other one, Poland is, like you're saying there,

830
00:43:28,880 --> 00:43:30,879
Speaker 2: they're a deep team and they play as a team

831
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,040
Speaker 2: as well. I think that's a pretty solid matchup Turkey

832
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:36,239
Speaker 2: and Poland. And you know, the Germany versus Slovenia game

833
00:43:36,320 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 2: is kind of similar to Greece Lithuania. Can one guy

834
00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,480
Speaker 2: beat a great team? And then I'm hyped for Finland

835
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:45,080
Speaker 2: versus Georgia. These are like the two Cinderella teams. It's

836
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 2: kind of unfortunate they have to meet against each other

837
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: so early. It would be awesome if they could somehow

838
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 2: find a way to meet up like in the semi finals.

839
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 2: But that one should be pretty fun to watch. I

840
00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:58,279
Speaker 2: think I wouldn't. I think I would favor Finland just

841
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:01,160
Speaker 2: because the five out offense. It's maybe a little tough

842
00:44:01,160 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 2: for guys like Goga and whoever there are other big

843
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 2: dude who comes off the bench for Georgia is he's

844
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: not the quickest dude as well, he's got some gray

845
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,279
Speaker 2: in the hair like me and you. So I think

846
00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:13,799
Speaker 2: I'm favoriting Finland in that one.

847
00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 1: That's a good call, and whatever happens, it's totally cool

848
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 1: and totally right. If EuroBasket tweets, that is the biggest

849
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,560
Speaker 1: win for Finland and their euro Basket history or Georgia

850
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:30,759
Speaker 1: same thing, same thing, no matter who wins. I think

851
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 1: it is the biggest win for them going into the

852
00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 1: semifinals and literally up for winning a medal. That would

853
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,719
Speaker 1: be huge for both those countries. And that's it for us.

854
00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,359
Speaker 1: We'll be back on Wednesday to talk about those quarterfinal games.

855
00:44:44,400 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 1: If you haven't seen our latest episode of Jurassic Pals,

856
00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:54,640
Speaker 1: it's Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. People seem to like it.

857
00:44:55,120 --> 00:44:58,239
Speaker 2: Had some friends. I got to watch Fallen Kingdom this

858
00:44:58,280 --> 00:45:02,120
Speaker 2: weekend and they're tuning in and watching it and they're

859
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:03,839
Speaker 2: feeling similar to how we did.

860
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,359
Speaker 1: Looking back, Yeah, because the part of it is kind

861
00:45:09,360 --> 00:45:12,760
Speaker 1: of like we were talking about eight games in two days.

862
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,359
Speaker 1: We were taking in a lot of Jurassic Parks, and

863
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,120
Speaker 1: maybe that changed our flavor of that movie. Because now

864
00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:22,080
Speaker 1: that I see I see here on YouTube, I see

865
00:45:22,120 --> 00:45:28,320
Speaker 1: the the photos or the screen grab of them sitting

866
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,800
Speaker 1: against the was it the kitchen counter where the dinosaurs

867
00:45:31,840 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: around the corner, I'm like, yeah, that was fun, but

868
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 1: you know.

869
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just me being nostalduseum. Yeah maybe. I mean

870
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 2: we watched a lot of them, recorded a lot of

871
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,879
Speaker 2: them at the same time. So then this weekend when

872
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:48,200
Speaker 2: I saw Jurassic Park was playing on TNT, I was like, oh,

873
00:45:48,280 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 2: I can't watch Jurassic Park again. But then guess I

874
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 2: turned it back on and it was at the t

875
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 2: Rex at the fence scene. I felt like it was

876
00:45:56,200 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 2: perfect timing and I was one hundred percent back in.

877
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,879
Speaker 2: So what maybe fall Kingdom is good. Maybe it is

878
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:04,560
Speaker 2: if you spread it out a little bit. I'm not

879
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 2: dipping in right now. To see, but maybe just maybe

880
00:46:07,480 --> 00:46:09,000
Speaker 2: tune into the podcast to find out.

881
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 1: All right, that's it for us, unless, well, I'm gonna

882
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 1: go watch something on TNT. You never know what movies

883
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 1: they're thrown up on TNT and they're always good. They're

884
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: always good. So that's where I'm going right now. But

885
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: for now, Clipper bros.

886
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,960
Speaker 2: You heard it here first, have a great time, turn up,

887
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 2: love you guys awesome. Thanks for joining us, and remember

888
00:46:31,239 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 2: this was the greatest EuroBasket podcast of the century. That

889
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:36,800
Speaker 2: is correct.

890
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:41,720
Speaker 1: Hopefully we top it on Wednesday after the quarterfinals. See everybody,
