    if Lufa is up for DP awards, FIBA has no credibility.

    It's just 9.99 for the FIBA tournament ..... live or stream games or highights at your convenience. Had no idea that inexpensive and just paid the 10 bucks. :)

    he's ultra competitive and gets fouled a lot. i'm not even sure he whines more than say, lebron, who faces the same issues in terms of people hacking him all the time because of his strength advantage. both guys also dish some bumps, though, so they'd be better off if they considered that and just took a bad no-call here and there. your whines would be more powerful at a lower frequency!

    edit: and while i've always been annoyed by the preferential treatment that some stars get from the refs (harden, wade, and now SGA burst into mind) and argue that they whine less because they get all the calls, there is probably also some truth to the reverse: all three of those guys were able to control their whining better than luka does. both can be true.

    yeah, not watching the game right now, but in nba games, luka gets fouled a lot without calls. more than most other stars, imo.

    Woooo!! He made it though basically uninjured. Now in great shape to let his body rest a bit and then come into camp completely ready to go 30 lbs lighter than last year.

    Terrible refereeing, a terrible fourth quarter due to the constant fouls called.

    Luka almost pulled off an incredible feat, because Germany is a much, much stronger and longer team than Slovenia...
    But Luka is Luka, a guy who scores 40 points as if it were the easiest thing in the world.

    Sensational Eurobasket for him; he did everything he could for his national team, as he usually does.

    Correlation does not equal causation is one of the funnest research topics. It’s like when people say eating ice cream at the beach has a correlation with shark attacks… to me the Luka has bad decision making is just as big a stretch as the ice cream shark thing.

    i spend many days discussing correlation and causation, and man...if more people in the world really understood the logic of causation, things would be better.

    Bright side in this is it will motivate Luka to win the NBA title instead.
