Not a great line. But, obviously the coaches trust him, because he was in there for most of the 4th quarter.

5 turnovers isn't good. Sounds like Serbia has a solid team

Not a good game by Elfrid. Hope he bounces back. This is a nice little mental test for him.

[Boomer]

Just wondering the nature of the TOS---were they passes, steals by the other team, dribble blunders, etc----anybody know???
