He keeps heavy lifting Slovenia he'll be chiseled at the end of 2 weeks...

People always underestimate Luka game... then the MAGIC happens!

Yeah it was a joke obviously. 
Hopefully active summer will keep him in shape, so that he can start next season flying.

A few of Luka's 3-point attempts looked  "terrible," but 42.86% is NOT a "low" 3-point percentage.

Looks like i had a wrong boxscore where it said 33%, 43% is excellent of course. I saw the game, but the bad shots stand out and you seem to disregard the insane stretches like the first minutes.

WTF?  

I "seem to disregard the insane stretches like the first minutes"???

LOL

Seriously, WTF?????

It's badly phrased, sorry. Don't get triggered so easily, not everyone's first language is English.

I'm not at all "triggered" (or angry, if that is what you mean), Halfnir.  I just thought that your statement ("you seem to disregard the insane stretches like the first minutes") was funny [humorous].

No big deal, no worries, and thank you for the clarification.

[By the way, Luka made his first three shots against Argentina (a 3-pointer at 8:40, another 3-pointer at 8:16, and a third 3-pointer at 7:42).  On his next shot (at 5:26), he was fouled shooting another 3-pointer.  He made all three free throws (and, of course, was not credited with a field goal attempt).  At 4:43, Luka was fouled as he made a lay-up, and he made the free throw.  With 3:54 left in the first quarter, Luka finally missed his first field goal attempt (another 3-pointer).  I definitely did not disregard the first six minutes of the game, during which Luka made every shot he took.]

Another late night tonight!

That is exactly what i was trying to say. Those first minutes were so incredibly efficient that he could have gone 0/4 in another quarter, which could stay in memory as bad 3pt shooting while he still had 50% if you add it together. Lame excuse for getting a wrong impression of his 3pt shooting on my part. 

So in the end, Luka was all-round incredible and we are all looking forward to the next game

Good to know Luka's enjoying his Olympic experience!

It´s the only place he can finish top 3 in the foreseeable future.

Just realized that Okafor is playing for Nigeria. Getting whatever he wants in the paint against the german bigs.

Yeah but Saibou is their best player. He was also Italy´s best player. I have no idea why the German coach insists on playing that bum. He literally sucks at everything. He can´t dribble. He can´t defend. He can´t pass. He´s a moron. One of Lo and Bonga should play at all times. Really think Schroeder would have pushed that team into the medal conversation. This team will probably not get out of the group just because of one awful PG.

Most of the time, it's funny as hell. Once in a while (like right now) it crosses a line.

lol..

I don't generally think nihilism is funny, but every once in a while it makes me laugh

Australia with another win, Green played 10 seconds. 
Kin d of disappointed with him averaging less than 3 minutes in those 2 games, but I hope the overall experience with the national team will improve him

Difficult to find a consistent role for a raw player like Green. Not to mention that Australia has a player with a similar skill set (Thybull) that is simply better right now. Probably easier to find some minutes in an NBA game.
