1 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Welcome to Notus. 2 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:12,520 Speaker 2: It's the only basketball club you'll ever needs. I'm Pat Miller. 3 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,160 Speaker 2: It's the end of the euro Baskets. My last time 4 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,760 Speaker 2: to say I'm also was my last with me. It's 5 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 2: the man in the middle, Tray herby hell a. 6 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: Tray. 7 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: It's a Sunday. We've got lots of sports going on. 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 2: You got a freaking football jersey going on. 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, Luckily there was a good basketball game happening to 10 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 1: save me from the misery of the Chicago Bear season 11 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: going down the drain. By the end of week two, 12 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: once again, the fell Fid Award. It's a great time 13 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: to be a Bears fan when it's the off season. 14 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,880 Speaker 1: Then once the season actually starts, it's over pretty quickly. 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,080 Speaker 2: There's so many other things to distract you. Thankfully, we 16 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: got the w NBA Playoffs going on, and then we 17 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 2: got a freaking great gold medal game. We'll get to 18 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 2: that bronze medal for the Greeks, there's no doubt. But 19 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 2: let's get to that great finish off. Germany and Turkey, 20 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: the two best teams clearly meeting in the finals. I mean, 21 00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: after Game one of Turkey, we all sat here and 22 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: talked and said, Okay, Turkey is taking the place for 23 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,319 Speaker 2: the third best team, get out of here, France. Turkey's 24 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 2: got a real chance at third. But then they go 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 2: undefeated in the group stage and they get to one 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 2: side of the bracket while Germany is on the other. 27 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 2: Perfect line up for the two best teams, and this 28 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,560 Speaker 2: thing goes down to the wire tray where Germany just 29 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 2: ekes it out in a close one. 30 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, this was a classic basketball match that we've got 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: to witness today. Tassels Malas eight. No. Both teams coming 32 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: in came down to basically the last minute Shrewder hitting 33 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: two great shots, first the lefty finger roll high off 34 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: the glass and then the smooth midi jumper to really 35 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,639 Speaker 1: ice things in between. I guess there was a little 36 00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: chance for Alprin Chengoon to put the b in the basket. 37 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: I think he probably regrets that one little bit different 38 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: endgame if that one goes down. But Germany won the 39 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: same way that they won every knockout round game. I 40 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: feel like played okay through three quarters, okay the first 41 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: half of the fourth quarter, and then turned it on 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: opes of course, hitting the big three Bonga, hitting the 43 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: big three. Daniel Tice playing a terrible game only to 44 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: knock down a big three for Germany as well. They 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: had moments where they look good and then they have 46 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: moments where they look great. The poise came through. This 47 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: is an experienced team. They pulled off the win. Awesome game. 48 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, you just mentioned those few plays where Turkey's paying 49 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 2: attention to everyone on the other side of the floor. 50 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 2: So two nineteen left, eazac Bonga has a lane, huge dunk. 51 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: Then their next possession, as you said, Tys didn't hit 52 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: a basket all game, and when one nine left, he's 53 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: got all the room for a three. He lines it 54 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 2: up and makes it. And then you mentioned the shrewder 55 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 2: Finn two great ones, that one with a minute fifteen left, 56 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 2: that beautiful left hand finger roll over Shngoon who was 57 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 2: kind of blocked off by Tys a little bit, who's 58 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 2: saying get out of the way. Shannggun complained, did he 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 2: have any reason to complain for a pick foul? Or 60 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: can he even call that at that time of the 61 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 2: game when he literally was just Tys saying, you know, 62 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 2: get the heck out of the way kind of thing. 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: That's a tough call to make it. That scenario he 64 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: wanted to call underneath when he missed the layup as well. 65 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 1: And you know, Shngun had a couple of calls go 66 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,240 Speaker 1: against him that I think were probably tough calls from 67 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: his perspective, But we want the players to decide the game, 68 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: and that's what happened. 69 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, they did, and as you said, Shangun went the 70 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 2: other way, missed a shot that could have put them 71 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: up one, and Turkey had the offensive rebound for a 72 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 2: quick sec but Shrewder got down low for the strip 73 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 2: and then took it to the other end where they 74 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 2: got an offensive rebound, and then he was able to 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 2: hit that mid range shot and then Schenggun missed the 76 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:04,000 Speaker 2: three to Higat potentially. So how do you feel about 77 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: scheng Gun's game overall and then the last few minutes 78 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: where he just miss shots really well. 79 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: Shangun played awesome twenty eight points on fifty percent shooting, 80 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: only three rebounds, but three assists as well, played great 81 00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: defense three blocks. I thought one of the mistakes made 82 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 1: in this game was at the start of the second half. 83 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,919 Speaker 1: Shangun picked up three fouls in the first half. The 84 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: last one came on a charge with like twenty five 85 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 1: seconds left, so at the start of the third quarter, 86 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: Shngun was on the bench. I thought that was a 87 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: crazy move. It was like a ten to four run 88 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: for the Germans. They come back, they take the lead 89 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: with sheng Gudin waiting on the bench. He comes back 90 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: in and starts playing pretty well. I think another tactical 91 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: mistake was on that last play when they're looking for 92 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,240 Speaker 1: a three pointer. Maybe run a play. It didn't seem 93 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 1: like they had any sort of plan. They get the 94 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: ball into Shane Larkin, who played great in the fourth quarter, 95 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,679 Speaker 1: he couldn't really get free. The announcers myself, we're thinking 96 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: Germany's gonna file here up three nineteen seconds, send him 97 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: to the line, as we've seen so many times. But 98 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: they decided not to, and maybe that threw turkey up. 99 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: Maybe they were expecting the foul as well, because it 100 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: didn't really look like they knew how to attack on 101 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: in those final nineteen seconds because it was just one guy. 102 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: ISO didn't work out, tried the other ISO, and Shnggun 103 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: chucks up a deep one on a night when he 104 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:22,280 Speaker 1: wasn't shooting it well from three. I think there are 105 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: probably better ways to go about getting a three pointer. 106 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: At that time, So those tiny little moments really were 107 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: the difference in this game. 108 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was confused why Shangun was sitting the first 109 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,640 Speaker 2: two minutes and thirty five seconds of the second half. 110 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 2: This is the last game. Yes, he does have three fouls, 111 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: but that was strange. As you said, Jerremany took the 112 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 2: Turkish six point lead and shut it down. I think 113 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 2: it was one for Turkey still when she Gun came 114 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,599 Speaker 2: back and then he kicked ass although he I guess 115 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 2: when he got that fourth foul with four minutes left, 116 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 2: he fell Tye as it really like a take foul 117 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 2: because Tys was driving by me. He said, all right, 118 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna foul. The man committed his fourth foul. I thought, okay, 119 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,840 Speaker 2: maybe maybe their coach was smart for keeping him out 120 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 2: just so he didn't get foul in foul trouble or 121 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: get fouled out earlier than that because he fouls, I suppose. 122 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 2: But it was strange, and he just couldn't close the 123 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 2: door on such a freaking beautiful tournament for him. Do 124 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 2: you still think the MVP should be given to Shangun 125 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: over Yannistenakubo in this In this tournament and I'm not 126 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 2: sure who is who's won it because we turned it 127 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 2: off literally as Germany was hugging Dennis Shruder same thanks 128 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 2: to his dad, who looked exactly like Dennis Shruter. I 129 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,040 Speaker 2: had never seen Dennis Shruder's dad before, but they look 130 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 2: exactly the same. Should Schangun have won this thing? You think? 131 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, Schreuder did have sixteen points, 132 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: twelve assists and the two game winning baskets in the final, 133 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 1: so I think he's got a good shot. You know. 134 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,160 Speaker 1: Franz was the leading scorer for the German team, was 135 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 1: awesome in the first half, not quite as much in 136 00:06:57,520 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 1: the second half. Giannest was great as we'll get to 137 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: in the bronze medal game, great throughout the tournament as well. 138 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: So I'm sure all those guys will make the All 139 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: Tournament Team MVP. Look, the win counts a lot for me, 140 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: so I would probably give it to Shrewder. He hit 141 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: the massive shots, he's got the stones, give him the MVP. 142 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: My goodness, he just turned it on when he needed 143 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,560 Speaker 2: to those last couple of minutes, and Franz had a 144 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 2: great game, but then he slowed down a little bit. 145 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 2: I can't wait to see Franz with a different team 146 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 2: in Orlando that's fully healthy, with a guy like Desmond Baine, 147 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: who gives Franz some space, hopefully in the mid range 148 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 2: because he needs it. He's so good at it. He 149 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 2: doesn't shoot the three ball all that well. I was 150 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: wondering watching all the pre tournament workouts. Oh, maybe Franz's 151 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 2: three point shot has come along. Still the same, but 152 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: you know the incredible foot four he's got everywhere euro 153 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: steps Dcel, I mean from everywhere, Like he was giving 154 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: it to Bona so patiently. So he looked great throughout 155 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: this tournament. That was That was fun. They just had 156 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: so many freaking weapons that came down to literally two shots. 157 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly right, Franz. I'm with you. I don't really 158 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: think the shooting's going to come around. Shot thirty percent 159 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: from three in the past two seasons. He's basically thirty 160 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: percent in EuroBasket. That's okay. He can do everything else 161 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,520 Speaker 1: and maybe the three pointer will come along further down 162 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: the path of his career. Sounds weird, but I see 163 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: some shaggil just Alexander in his game, the way he 164 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: controls his body, the way he's able to change directions 165 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: while maintaining speed and changing pace. He's got every single 166 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: finish in the book, right hand and left hand, great balance. 167 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: They're obviously different players, but the craft that they have 168 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 1: when they get into the lane is very similar. When 169 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: you're talking about two way wings in the NBA, there's 170 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: not a lot better than Franz Wagner. And when he's 171 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 1: playing in EuroBasket, when he's one of the top two 172 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,079 Speaker 1: guys on his team, when he's one of the best 173 00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 1: athletes on the court, he looks even better. 174 00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, and again those last a few minutes, win Shruder 175 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 2: got that incredible steal in the backcourt. What a steal 176 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: to get Shane Larkin, Just a clean steal, and then 177 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 2: he gets the ball and he just sort of leads 178 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: Franz Wagner ahead, but it's way too far ahead of him, 179 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: so he gives Turkey the ball. Then Franz got hit 180 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 2: with a charge that was a questionable call. There's a 181 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 2: couple questionable charge calls in this way in that game. 182 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 2: And I thought, just watching Shngun do his thing with 183 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 2: the beautiful spin fake that he pulled out in this one, 184 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 2: he was giving it to Tys. See you later. You 185 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 2: hit the bench. He still gave it to time and 186 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: I thought this was Turkey's game at the end. But 187 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: the guy that you said should be coming to the NBA, 188 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 2: e'zac Bonga. I mean, he came through big with those threes. 189 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 2: It's like that's the stock about guys who shoot the threes. 190 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 2: He hasn't really improved a ton going to Europe. He 191 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: was thirty percent in the NBA. He has improved. He's 192 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 2: sort of an average guy playing in Europe with thirty 193 00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 2: six percent playing in the EuroLeague. But man, when they 194 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 2: when all the attentions on the other side of the floor, 195 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 2: easik Bonga coming through. 196 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. Bongo was great in this game. Twenty points, five boards, 197 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: three assists and like you mentioned, four of four from three. 198 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: He was really the guy that got the game going 199 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: for Germany. Because it was a thirteen to two start 200 00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 1: for Turkey. I think they made their first five shots. 201 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 1: Germany just looked out of sorts, but Bongo was in 202 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: and he went on a little run of his own 203 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: right at the beginning of the first quarter got them 204 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: back on track. He picked up his second foul really 205 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: early too, seven minutes left, but he was just consistent 206 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: all night, and I think that's why this game was 207 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: so good. Every support player for both teams, it felt like, 208 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: played really well. Tristan da Silva was great in this 209 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,560 Speaker 1: game with thirteen points in the second and third quarter. 210 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 1: He looked really, really good. Cheddy Osman shot the ball 211 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 1: incredibly well for the Turkish side. Hazer and Sipahi I 212 00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: thought did a great job keeping Shrewder under wraps. From 213 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: a scoring perspective, I think they had him at three 214 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 1: for nine shooting through the game until those last two 215 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: incredible shots by Shrewder to put them over the top. 216 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: Now he was playmaking, so he was doing his thing 217 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: as well until they needed him to score. Markin played great. 218 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: He was kind of the key for Turkey's offense, I 219 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: thought in the end of the third quarter into the 220 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: fourth with his drives, just giving them a little bit 221 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: more sauce. Adm Bona played awesome in this game. Got 222 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: his jersey tore off, we got to see his nipple, 223 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: sexy stuff. I just looked like a great game from 224 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: both sides. Like considering the pressure of the moment, both 225 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: of these teams looking to win a gold medal, I 226 00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 1: thought great performances basically up and down on both rosters. 227 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, and no idea that Adam Bona would literally go 228 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 2: into the starting lineup in the second half because he 229 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 2: was playing that good in the first half. He's five 230 00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 2: for five from the field. Obviously, no one should be 231 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: comfortable shooting in the lane with Adam Boda around a 232 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 2: couple blocks. I always wonder do NBA broadcasters watch these 233 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 2: games and take notes and say, hm, that was a 234 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:00,240 Speaker 2: good line there by Jeff the play by play? How 235 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:04,680 Speaker 2: use that? Because after Adam Bona made some beautiful plays, 236 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 2: it was a that was a Bona five big play, 237 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 2: a quick one there. I liked it, and so Kate 238 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 2: Scott maybe taking notes in Philadelphia. Yeah, I gotta use 239 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,200 Speaker 2: that because I mean it was weird because Osmani didn't 240 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 2: have a good game going back to the semi finals 241 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: where he was money from three and Bona literally took 242 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 2: his place in the second half. There. There's so much 243 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,200 Speaker 2: to talk about in this game. I think Skeets just 244 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 2: gave us the all tournament team that will show you 245 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: here on YouTube there it is. It is those guys 246 00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: you mentioned obviously, Jannis and shen Goon along with Franz 247 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 2: in your front court. If you call it those three, 248 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: and then in the back court it's Shrewder and Luca. 249 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 2: Pretty good team obviously. 250 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, no real arguments. I guess maybe if you're a 251 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: Finland fan you're saying, where's Lowry markinhen But yep, you 252 00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,120 Speaker 1: can't really argue with these guys. I think there's just 253 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: six players who were worthy of being on the first team. 254 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 2: Yes, that's totally totally true. Any other notes you want 255 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: to get to from this game, I mean the Shane 256 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 2: Larkin show. As you said, it was just so good 257 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:18,439 Speaker 2: at being that alternative guy. He played so many minutes 258 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: throughout every game in this tournament. It feels real to 259 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 2: me that he is this Turkish player because he spent 260 00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 2: seven years playing in Turkey after his a little bit 261 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: of a roller coaster to start his NBA career. I 262 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 2: heard him tell the story this week when he said 263 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 2: that I started my career with the MAVs and in 264 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 2: July my first practice, when Mark Cuban came in, I 265 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,640 Speaker 2: got the chance to run a fast break and I 266 00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 2: broke my ankle on that play. And so he didn't 267 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 2: start off his career in the NBA well, and he 268 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 2: ended up going to Europe and found his way again 269 00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 2: seven years in Turkey to take him right down to 270 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 2: the wire. They obviously couldn't do here. While Germany World 271 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 2: Cup championship as I'm comfortable calling that now two years 272 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 2: ago in twenty twenty three, when they beat the US 273 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 2: in the semifinals and then the EuroBasket champs, man just. 274 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, I mean, honestly, Germany is gonna have 275 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 1: to beat the US's number one team to be the 276 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,160 Speaker 1: world champs, but they are the FOBA champs for sure. 277 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 2: They were. Yeah, that was the Anthony Edwards didn't really 278 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 2: didn't really do it under Steve Kerr as their sort 279 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: of their number one guy, just didn't didn't finish the 280 00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: job against Germany. And Gordy Herbert, who was the head 281 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:40,240 Speaker 2: coach for Germany, used to be that Canadian player legend 282 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 2: played in eighty four. I think he played Jordan in 283 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 2: the eighty four Olympics. But anything else here from a 284 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: great game. Jeddi Osman was also ausman. He played every 285 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 2: single minute in this game, and he was sort of 286 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 2: the Franz stopper to start this game, and I thought 287 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 2: he was doing a pretty good job. They matched up 288 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 2: pretty well, but Fiba Jedti. He is a different Jetty. 289 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, he did a great job. I thought in the 290 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 1: second half kind of took Franz out of the game 291 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: with physicality and effort. Twenty three points, hit six threes. 292 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: I mentioned on one of our podcasts earlier, like why 293 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: doesn't he get another look in the NBA. Maybe he's 294 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: more comfortable playing overseas, but had some good moments with 295 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 1: the Calves. Didn't hear quite as much when he was 296 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: on the Spurs. But if he's able to shoot threes 297 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: the way he has, he's a yabu sel a guy 298 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 1: who could maybe get another chance, just like I think 299 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: Bonga is a guy that a team should at least 300 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: invite to a camp and see if he could stick 301 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: for a little bit. 302 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: Then I think that's it for me. I will say 303 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,120 Speaker 2: one last note. It is cool to hear the referees 304 00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 2: number one talk to each other during the video review 305 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 2: talk to players, because usually it's it's pretty calm, no swearing. Really, 306 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:53,400 Speaker 2: it's beneficial. It's also it kind of makes video reviews 307 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 2: go by a little faster because you're not just here 308 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 2: in the play by plays. Guys talk about it. So 309 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 2: the weird thing for me was though. They went to 310 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 2: see if a goaltend should have been called a goaltend 311 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: because it was challenged and it's the Canadian crew chief. 312 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: It's it's wild. I know the referees names here in 313 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 2: your basketball Matthew kalio he asked the other referee. He said, 314 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 2: is a trap ball in FIBA? A goaltend like a 315 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: trap ball, like you hit it as the ball hits 316 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 2: the glass, like shouldn't you know that? Yeah? 317 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a very funny review though, because he 318 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:28,880 Speaker 1: was going like frame by frame, he's like up, one 319 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: more up, one more up, one more up, one more up, 320 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: one more what you say? His name was Matthew Kayu 321 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 1: doesn't JD hate that show? 322 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm bet sure how his last name is pronounced, 323 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 2: but I think it's Kalioh. Girl named Lee spelled like 324 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 2: our our Lee Ellis. So that was that was That 325 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: was the only weird. There's Lee Ellis. If you're with 326 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: us here on the stream, team gotta pull up the 327 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: screenshot of Lee having a sip of wine. 328 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: Right that was having a sip like the Germans are 329 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,120 Speaker 1: right now. Shrewder threw the ball off Stengoon's backside, big 330 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: target and Mike said, the old butt inbound, Jeff, just 331 00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 1: like you do on the pickup courts in North Carolina. 332 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: They were fired up to see that. That was a 333 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: great play by Shrewder though, because usually when you throw 334 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 1: it off a guy's butt, you're looking to score right away. 335 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: It was an assist though for him. That was like 336 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 1: Wayne Gretzky style. 337 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,359 Speaker 2: I thought, yeah, yeah, yeah, right under the Turkish basket bank. 338 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,919 Speaker 2: That worked out well. Here's a note. Germany joins the 339 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 2: Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and Spain as the only nations to 340 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 2: hold both crowns of the World Cup and EuroBasket at 341 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 2: the same time. So, Trey, are they worthy of having 342 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 2: the World Cup even though they beat. 343 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,400 Speaker 1: Well, I don't know. It was one of the time. 344 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: It was one of the Did that include the nineteen 345 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: seventy two Olympics when they stole the gold medal from 346 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: the United States. 347 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 2: I could sense my bear sucks. So I gotta be 348 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: mad today. I hear you, I hear you. 349 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: I can't wait for Look, look, everybody's got a great 350 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:04,400 Speaker 1: chance in twenty twenty eight. We'll see if they're able 351 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 1: to actually pull it off. Yeah, since not since two thousand. 352 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: And four, Yeah, it is interesting to see twenty twenty eight. 353 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 2: What will the Americans pull out? Who's playing for them? 354 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 2: The guys, the guys who saved the day last year 355 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 2: in twenty twenty four against France, Steph lebron mostly mostly Steph. 356 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 2: I mean, will they be playing and what are they 357 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 2: going to do out there? Yeah? This is These tournaments 358 00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 2: are just super duper fun, even down to the bronze 359 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:38,080 Speaker 2: medal game. Let's get to that Grease taking care of Finland. 360 00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 2: WHOA how about that Trey? How about Greece winning in 361 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 2: Finland in a very very very close game out at 362 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: the end of this wit didn't. 363 00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: They take care of him? Because what was this like 364 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 1: a fourteen point game with three minutes left and somehow 365 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: it came down to the finished team missing a free 366 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: throw that would have tied and then the guy got 367 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: the offensive rebound and missed the pack that could have 368 00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: won the game for Finland. I think Greece kind of 369 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: squeaked by in this one, maybe took their foot off 370 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: the gas a little bit. But Giannis was incredible once again, 371 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: thirty points, seventeen boards, six assists. He did have a 372 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: big bucket to put him up by four points late 373 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 1: in this one, and then a really cool interview with 374 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 1: him afterwards where he said coming in third in the 375 00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: EuroBasket Championship is the greatest accomplishment in his life, while 376 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: also referencing the facts. Yeah, I know I won the 377 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 1: NBA Championship, but this means a lot more to me. 378 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 2: You're right, Grease may have taken their foot off the 379 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 2: gas a little bit, but they also may have taken 380 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: their foot off the floor. H okay, segue because again 381 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: it's kind of got pushed on that offensive rebound there 382 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 2: that Finland got to be able to win because they were. Yes, 383 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 2: they're literally down three points and Elias Feltoning goes to 384 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,680 Speaker 2: the line to hit three free throws. Hits one, hits two. 385 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 2: The camera cuts to the Finish president who in attendance, 386 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 2: and then he misses the next one. Janis was going 387 00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 2: up for it. He gets a little shoved in the 388 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 2: back by Yanton and he slips to the floor and 389 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 2: Yanton misses a bunny of a shot. So yes, Grease 390 00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 2: seals it there at the end with Yannis going to 391 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 2: the free throw line. But yeah, it's obviously a big 392 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 2: win for Yannis, never having won a medal. Greek team 393 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 2: really hasn't been good since they had all the old 394 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 2: guys again, who were a lot of them in at attendance, 395 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 2: dim Monte's papulucas, the good guys. They hadn't won a 396 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,280 Speaker 2: medal since two thousand and nine, so Yannis hadn't won one. 397 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: No Adasakumpo had won one. So this was the monstros 398 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: thirty seventeen boards. It was funny at the end his 399 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: kids were kind of over the barrier there and they 400 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,680 Speaker 2: just start coming in. Here comes kid number one, Here 401 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 2: comes kid number two. How many kids is this guy 402 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:54,000 Speaker 2: bringing in? He brought three of his children in who 403 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:57,800 Speaker 2: they just absolutely were crying and loving it. And Yannis, yeah, 404 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 2: the post game was absolutely yeah, just tears running down 405 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: his face. See he even got asked about Alprin Shengun 406 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 2: and what al shen Gud said that he wasn't a 407 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 2: Yanis wasn't a great passer and yeah, it's took bad 408 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: and stride and said, you know, check my youtub's man, 409 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 2: I'm a pretty good passer. Yeah, just a fun, fun 410 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 2: game that they got Yannis going in transition to start, 411 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,439 Speaker 2: which is a little easier against Finland than it is 412 00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: against monster teams like Turkey and Lithuania that he played 413 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 2: his last two games. But I thought the Greeks just 414 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 2: did a better job of giving it to him a 415 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 2: little bit more like they should have against Turkey. And 416 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 2: so we saw full on Janis in this game, just 417 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 2: like we have this whole tournament. 418 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, thirty points for Yannis, only nine of eleven from 419 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: the field because he went to the free throw line 420 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: a ton of times, But shout out to Yanis, twelve 421 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: of sixteen at the line. Not mad at that. I 422 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: have to imagine, though, the Greek team is going to 423 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: look nice in twenty forty five when all of Janis's 424 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: kids are grown up. Must they play? Must they play 425 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: for the United States where I'm sure they were born? 426 00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 2: Yep, Yeah, man, they could. They could run out of five. 427 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 2: I think he's got two boys and two girls. It 428 00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 2: was good to see. Speaking of Americans, Tyler Dorsey was 429 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 2: freaking awesome for the Greeks. He got He had his 430 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 2: hair flowing in this game. Let it go, let it fly, 431 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: just like he was letting those threes fly. Three threes 432 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 2: in the first quarter, five threes overall, twenty points. He's 433 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: had two games where he had twenty or more. So 434 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 2: this is a big win for Tyler Dorsey. He just 435 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:37,560 Speaker 2: looked really good out there. 436 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty points for Dorsey and then fifteen for Toleopolis. 437 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: I thought was kind of the difference, you know, making 438 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: threes nine threes between the two of them. You throw 439 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: that in with Giannis going for thirty. That's a good 440 00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: threesome for the Greek team and they built a huge lead. 441 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: It looked like they were home free, but Finland just 442 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: didn't give up market and started hitting some shots and 443 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: they just kept knocking down every single shot they needed to, 444 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: except for the last two that really would have put 445 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: them over the top of This was a fun one 446 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: as well, a great metal round compared to the final four, 447 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: which is a little bit of a dud, but it's 448 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,800 Speaker 1: worth it if the metal games are going to be 449 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:18,040 Speaker 1: like this. 450 00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,000 Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, the bracket filled out pretty perfectly to see 451 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 2: Germany faced Turkey. I think we've talked about Mika Mernon 452 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 2: a ton in that hair flowing. It's got to be 453 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 2: the guy who had the least impactful series, but the 454 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: most like, the most talked about guy for a a 455 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: least impactful type of entire tournament. I mean, he was good, 456 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 2: and the entire team was really good, and there were 457 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 2: games when some of them came on and some of 458 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,000 Speaker 2: them didn't have great games. But mernon, Yeah, I thought 459 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 2: he was. He was neutralized pretty well by the athletic 460 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 2: Greek Semudarov was a nice little matchup for him in 461 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 2: the second half. But we're making a name for himself. 462 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 2: I mean, he could be state side not too long 463 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 2: from now. I don't know when, but he's got Jeff. 464 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: Gave him a nickname. Jeff gave him a nickname in 465 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:14,160 Speaker 1: this one. Yeah, called him the finish freak, which that's 466 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: gonna stick absolutely, And then I saw that the EuroBasket 467 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: X was like, don't forget he has school tomorrow. Quite 468 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 1: the flight. He might be late for first period. But yeah, 469 00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: I mean, the guy scored six and a half points 470 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: a game. He only had five in this game. He 471 00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: was the one hundred and twenty ninth leading scorer in EuroBasket, 472 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: and he was probably the number one most talked about 473 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: non NBA player. 474 00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, I don't know. I guess 475 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: we don't have a a non EuroBasket tournament team announced, 476 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 2: but he could be part of it. With Shane Larkin 477 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,240 Speaker 2: was freaking awesome, as we talked about. But yes, Myrina 478 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,520 Speaker 2: was talking about a lot. I don't know if it's 479 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 2: the hair flow or whatever, but yeah, we we especially 480 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:03,200 Speaker 2: you made some good videos out of that guy. We 481 00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:04,560 Speaker 2: got got some coverage of that guy. We needed to 482 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 2: talk about that guy because he is He's just so 483 00:25:06,640 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 2: freaking fun to watch. Again, the dunks that he misses 484 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 2: are awesome to watch, so kudos to them. Kudos to 485 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 2: the Greeks. A lot of crying done. Cohostess Papa Nicolau 486 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 2: even crying, so congrats. I mean, this was really the 487 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,960 Speaker 2: biggest Greek game I've watched as a Greek since it 488 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 2: feels like two thousand and six when they beat the US. 489 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 2: It really has been that long. So that was a game. Man, 490 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 2: that was a fun game. They didn't have it against 491 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,760 Speaker 2: Turkey in the semifinals, but they obviously showed up in 492 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,679 Speaker 2: this one. They both wanted to win it because Finland 493 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 2: has never meddled and that was huge for them.

Yea, it's perfect. Did you did 502 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: you shed a tear for grease or did you grin 503 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 1: ear to ear for grease? 504 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 2: It was a grin. It was definitely a grin. And 505 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 2: when got a tissue for I was handing it to 506 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 2: my my TV for Papa Nicolau. Yeah, but I didn't. 507 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 2: I wasn't crying. No, I gotta be honest. I'm not 508 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: gonna lie. No, No tears were had on this end. 509 00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: It's a happy that's a happy moment for the fans, 510 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: you know. 511 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 2: Gosh. Yeah, it was big. I mean, the ela hearing 512 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 2: that in the crowd, very very fun. They brought it 513 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 2: against the wolf pack of the finn fans, that's what 514 00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 2: they were calling them, right. Yeah. 515 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,479 Speaker 1: They had some people dressed up as wolves sitting in 516 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,719 Speaker 1: the stands, which was pretty awesome as well. Euro Basket 517 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,840 Speaker 1: tournament is great. Foba basketball is just awesome to watch 518 00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 1: the effort and the passion from the players and from 519 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 1: the fans the coaches. Like, it's different than just watching 520 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 1: through the regular season in the NBA. You know, elimination 521 00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 1: games in the NBA get like that, I think, but 522 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:09,480 Speaker 1: every game in EuroBasket feels like it's a game seven. 523 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,919 Speaker 2: Yeah, And we just we had that comment up of 524 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 2: Dennis Schruter being named MVP of tournament, of the entire tournament. 525 00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,120 Speaker 2: I know it's that time of season where we get 526 00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 2: a little too a little too excited about the NBA, 527 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 2: but I start to think, all right, and a Shrewder 528 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 2: he can do it in the Sacramento Kings. But either way, 529 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 2: obviously he febitted up to the max. Congrats to Shooter. 530 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:38,240 Speaker 2: Congrats to that fricking team man. 531 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 1: Yeah, and Shrewder. Look, if you're a Kings fan, you're like, 532 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,119 Speaker 1: look at the playmaking. That's exactly what we need. He 533 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: was setting the table for the most part in this 534 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,639 Speaker 1: game until he hit the two big shots down the stretch, 535 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: and I kind of feel like that was Shrewder's mo 536 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: Throughout this tournament. He did have good scoring games. He 537 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: was one of the leading scorers for Germany, but he 538 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,960 Speaker 1: felt much more like a facilitator than necessarily a score 539 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: or the way he plays in the NBA. So yeah, 540 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 1: he was really great. I don't know if it necessarily translates. 541 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: Shuder's a good player in the NBA, but once he 542 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:12,359 Speaker 1: gets to FOBA tournaments, he is Hall of Fame worthy. 543 00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,200 Speaker 1: Which is something I saw in the stream team and 544 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,400 Speaker 1: something I heard Tim Bonteen's talking about on the Hoot 545 00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: collective is that should Shrewder and the German team go 546 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,479 Speaker 1: on to win the championship, which obviously they did, Shruder 547 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,040 Speaker 1: got named MVP, it could make him a Hall of 548 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,879 Speaker 1: Famer once you include his NBA career plus all the 549 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:32,679 Speaker 1: success he's had internationally. I don't know every international player 550 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: that's made the Hall of Fame strictly on their FOBA performances, 551 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 1: but the guy's been one of the best players in 552 00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: international basketball for a decade straight, and every time he 553 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 1: shows up in these tournaments, you expect him to be 554 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: the one that comes up in the clutch, right. 555 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,959 Speaker 2: And that's the biggest test with him with the Kings 556 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 2: is to allow Levigne and DeRozan and even Kei Hi Murray, 557 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: even Malik Monk. That's the question for me playing the 558 00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 2: same position as a guy to let those guys eat 559 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 2: and then you know, when you got to you go off. 560 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 2: It was it was surprising to be to see, Yeah, 561 00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 2: he played so much. He played thirty four minutes of 562 00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 2: the forty minute game, forty minutes in this one, and literally, 563 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 2: you know, I wasn't having a hot game shooting, but 564 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,560 Speaker 2: then as he was needed, just because he was, he 565 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 2: was there, he was, he had the ball in his 566 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:21,840 Speaker 2: hands for the entire game. He came through. That's my 567 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 2: question with the Kings. Molik Monk's gonna be on the 568 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 2: floor a lot, so I just wonder how much they 569 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: will share or we're gonna see Schroder floaters all games. 570 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:34,600 Speaker 1: You're making You're making me think too much about the 571 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:35,800 Speaker 1: Kings for the cermony. 572 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I go think about the Bears. I think 573 00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:38,560 Speaker 2: we're done here. 574 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: No, I also don't want to think about the Bears. 575 00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 1: I'm almost rather than think about the Kings right now 576 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 1: until I remember their two highest paid players and who 577 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,040 Speaker 1: they used to play for, and then I start thinking 578 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 1: about everything that's going wrong with Chicago sports. 579 00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, we do have a few weeks before we really 580 00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:00,040 Speaker 2: really deeply get into NBA basketball, although we will be 581 00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:04,160 Speaker 2: back on Tuesday.
