    Aleksa Avramovic is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander father

  2. BBallHunter

    What a year of basketball for Serbia.

  3. nutelamitbutter

    Shoutout to Nr 30 on the Serbian team. Dude was an absolute pest on defense and defended SGA so well

  4. Jayveesac

    Number 30 from Serbia was very good, he shut SGA down

  5. b4ldheed

    I never want to watch a Powell/Olynyk frontcourt try to play defence again, and I’m not even Canadian.

  6. stalkerSRB

    Bogi MVP. Avramovic is a menace on defense

  7. 3luejays

    GG to Serbia. Better team today for sure. We didn’t look prepared for their depth at all. Still the best result for us at the World Cup regardless.

  8. johnnytifosi

    So happy for Serbia. They’ve done great against all odds. All the best for Sunday.

    My boy Milutinov made Jokic seem like a distant memory.

  9. morgage

    All the talk of refs and none on how Serbia exploited lack of big man depth on the other side. A masterclass in drive and cutting.

    I’m bummed but you gotta have perspective. Best performance ever at the World Cup. Olympics next year. This team more than got the job done. Only getting better in the future too.

    Hope Serbia can win gold. Bogdan will haunt my dreams.

  11. zOmgFishes

    Serbia pressured the shit out of SGA. I don’t understand why Canada’s back up option to SGA getting pressured was letting Olynk handle the ball that much…

  12. dwbthrow

    I love this Serbian team. So fun to watch. Hope they win the whole thing!

  13. Important-Chest-7383

    Team basketball was, is, and always will be over iso-heavy one. On to the Finals!

  14. Ok-Tree4365

    LOL I did not know Serbia celebrates by staring a pit

  15. StalkingDwarf

    Just outclassed. Bogi was on fire, Avramovic was locking us up, Milutinov was killing us in the paint and Guduric was hitting some big 3s.

  16. Morezingis

    Dillon Brooks – “Avramovic is the best defender in the world.”

  17. Aranea-Hominum

    The Serbian commentator’s voice is gone. If we win in the finals, he’ll have to scream in sign language

  18. Morezingis

    Let this be a lesson – when D. Brooks starts talking shit, your team is in for a bad time.

    Aleksa Avramovic showing who’s the real “best perimeter defender”

  20. Smoove-J

    You can clearly tell not many watch Hawks game in this sub. Bogi wasn’t playing like this in the NBA because he had a nagging knee injury for the past 1.5 season. When he’s healthy, he’s lead the Hawks scoring and winning when Trae is out

  21. Garret_Poe

    What an amazing game of basketball by the Serbians; wow.

    Some players I’d never heard of delivered – Dobric, Abramovic.

    Without Jokic and Micic and they still play such great basketball;

    MAD RESPECT!

  22. phillie187

    Pesic masterclass, what a coaching legend

  23. jess0411

    Bogi was what SGA should’ve been this game. Every time Canada looks to go for a comeback run he just takes over and drill some fire-dousing shots lol

  24. TwoWayMarko

    Incredible success for Serbian basketball, no matter what happens in the finals we gonna have a fucking parade

  25. Smoove-J

    Serbian folks, what does “troika” mean when they shoot threes? Is it just literally ‘three’?

    Edit: Thank you guys. I will start using it on my bball related celebrations lol

  26. Baulderdash77

    Serbia really did a great job of exploiting Canada’s poor interior defence.

    Bogdonavic was outstanding.

    Zach Edey gave more for Canada in his 1:30 seconds than Kelly Olynyk did all game. One of the worst rebounding and defensive performances of his career tonight for Olynyk.

    Outstanding defence from Serbia to limit Shai’s effectiveness.

    Overall it was a comprehensive win for Serbia.

  27. Dandoliki

    Bogdan just said he wants the USA in the Finals.

  28. LeXam92

    It’s so funny to see Dobric tearing it up and we were playing together as kids when he was just starting. So proud

  29. Kesman90

    Serbia playing best team bball of this tournament and boga is the mvp

  30. vwb2022

    Serbian coaching staff needs to get some credit here as well. Great scouting job, using a 10-man rotation to keep pressing and get the ball out of SGA;s hands.

    I like Jordi, but he looked completely out of his depth. No answer for the Serbian ball pressure and lack of interior defense. Was Edey the answer? Maybe, maybe not, but Olynyk and Powell were a revolving door on drives. Canada really missed Murray here, another point guard to complement SGA was needed to counter the ball pressure.
