EuroBasket 2022
CelticsPoetry:
Lovers of good basketball should definitely tune in to the games, especially now that the group phase is over and the elimination games begin. The competition is insane this year with all the stars participating (Dončič, Antetokounmpo, Jokič, Gobert, etc.). The fight for the gold medal is wide open and it could go to anyone basically, which is one of the appeals of the win-or-go-home format - no cruising, no next game, every playing their balls off, emotions at the max.
Yesterday was a crazy day with the following statlines:
Giannis: 41/9/2
Jokič: 29/11/5
Dončič: 36/10/4
Today was even crazier with Luka going for 47/7/5. The 47 points are second-best in EuroBasket history, the most in the last 65 years.
He also hit this crazy floater from 3 as the shot-clock expired:

It's wild that previously, if you have an NBA player on your squad, it was almost guaranteed that the player could carry you to many victories. Now, even with MVP players like Giannis, they still have tough time because you are going against other MVP candidates teams.

Thanks for making this, I’ve just been commenting in nba offseason thread. If anyone has a fan duel sportsbook account you can stream almost all the games for free in it on your phone or computer.

Any good upcoming games? TP to whoever posts the schedule.

Tomorrow doesn’t really have any good games as most of the teams are predicted to be blowouts. At least one really good game Friday should be Spain Lithuania. Lithuania has been led by valuncias and Sabonis. Spain has the hernagomez brothers and Rudy Fernandez. Saturday should see doncic and jokic play in games but schedule not released yet (teams qualifying tomorrow).
