2025 FIBA EuroBasket Discussion

Real eurobasket games have started. Nothing super interesting today but Franz and Germany play at 9:30 against Montenegro who is not horrible

Latvia vs. Turkey probably the game of the day. There’s like 8 NBA players between them, plus Shane Larkin

Also gotta say I can’t respect the Euro teams that nationalize elite Euroleague guys like Larkin. Turkey’s got 80 million more people than Latvia does, kinda cheating to bring out Shane Larkin

It’s not even free to watch this year? Woof, that’s a tough sell.

Close first half for Germany due to 3 point variance, and Andreas Obst has flipped that around with 4 made 3s in the quarter, so they are now up 20 on Montenegro

Georgia beat Spain by double digits today. Was very surprised, but less so after looking at their roster and seeing some recognizable names. Goga Bitadze and former college stars, Mamu (Seton Hall) and Kamar Baldwin (Butler). Spain just doesn’t have the most impressive roster. Their talent has fallen off a bit.

Finland won their first game yesterday.

Oliveir Nkamhoua had 3 points on 1-of-7 shooting with 3 boards and four assists.

Miikka Muurinen had5 points on 2-of-3 shooting and 2 boards in 9 minutes off the bench.

Nkamhoua is going to be a guy that in 4 years I am just not going to ever remember as someone that played large minutes for Michigan. Heck I already can’t remember a single thing he did

To be honest, he’s one of the guys I feel worst for during that final 12-18 month debacle.

19.99 for all eurobasket games on Courtside1891. I don’t think anything will be on cable even the late rounds so I may just do it

Germany super locked in early this morning. They are just so tough, Theis and Schroeder you’d think is the best pg/big combo in the world if you didn’t know better. Can’t wait to see them play Serbia

Bogdan bogdanovic out for rest of tourney w hamstring is huge

That stinks. Serbia needs scorers off of Jokic and I was pulling for Serbia since they’d never won a gold medal in one of the big tournaments. Probably nudges Germany to the slight favorite

Fun start to Germany-Finland. Really wild how good Schroeder and Theis are in the international jersey. Nkamhoua just banged a 3
