Well, at least Beli won't be asked to carry as much of the Spurs offense as he had to carry today. As it seemed to be his initial focus, it's also disappointing to see that his playmaking skills were neutralized so early in this contest.

The focus of passing on the Spurs will give Beli better shot selection and clearer drivers than the ones he had to create for himself today -his multiple failed layups made me wish he had tried stepbacks or some other jumper after creating space for himself. I recall the only clear shot that Beli took he made. At the same time Slovenia guarded him well and he did not or could not counter.

Slovenian defenders did everything to stop him from getting into any kind of rythm, even if that meant fouling. We basicaly threw every guard except Gogi against him, guarding him closely. He won't get that kind of attention on the spurs.

It was the italian defense that failed them the most though.

Belinelli will have better assist and FTA #s compared to Neal because he isn't always looking for the jumpshot coming off screens.

Yes - he attacks the basket more and I saw him get a few drive-and-kick assists.

Spanoulis! Where's killbillpana?

[Kamnik]

Zoran Dragič went undrafted.... this means he can sign with any team?

The two headed dragons playing together - my new NBA dream!!!!!

There's a chance you'll hear it regardless of the winner, tbh.
