I don’t think that’s a FIBA vs NBA thing lol. Honestly I’m not sure he really even got tripped
Also Franz is +10 today.

i understand why fouling up by 3 is a good idea, but i hate that it’s a good idea, it really robs us of excitement at the end of games by taking advantage of a sort of loophole

I really couldn’t tell but it just seemed like there had to be one for him to end up on the deck there.

The end of the 1st half is what changed the momentum of the game. No idea why the Germany coach didn’t sub Franz back in when France made a run.

Finishes +9, doesn’t even play 30 minutes. Seems dumb.
Tough to blow out a team and play them again and win a few days later
Agreed. I liked when it was painfully obvious to everyone but for whatever reason most coaches didn’t do it. Now it seems like everyone does it and I hate it. Not only does it rob us of the excitement but it drags out the end of games with more FTs.

10 points given up by US in 4 possessions
13 in 5! some hot shooting but they’re not making hard.
also Steph holy crap welcome to Paris
1 stop for USA so far. Serbia won’t keep shooting like this but you can’t just eat 30 point quarters consistently and expect to easily win

Franz catching some strays from NBA on SiriusXM along with Schroeder. They will be roasting Murray at 4pm apparently.
that was a horrible quarter from everyone outside of Steph. Wow.
We start slow so Kerr’s answer is 2 bigs? Awesome.
He’s sitting Steph for way too long too.
Derrick White gotta get those shots up.
Steph played basically the whole 1Q. Probably the longest stretch anyone has played all summer
Man this is a danger zone for US. They’re rattled a bit. Offense outside Steph has been as bad as the defense

Lebron just has not had it this whole tourney.
40 minute game though. He’s already sat for so long that the most he’s going to play in this one is 35 minutes.
