I have unfurled the Croatian flags at my property. I have turned my sound system’s volume up to 100 blasting Croatian pop hits from the 90s to the present day. I am indulging in homemade palačinke and have two bottles of the finest Dalmatian wine to help wash them down. What is the cause for this festive Croatia-themed celebration, you ask?
Luka Samanic just scored sixteen points. After literally not scoring a single point the whole season. It was Samanic’s last chance to erase the zero next to his name in the season stat sheet, and not only did he erase it, he OBLITERATED it.
Yeah, he only played in two games (seventen minutes total) prior to this game, so this was his first real chance to get in a rhythm and hit some shots. Still, I didn’t expect this raw young dude from Croatia (did I mention he’s from Croatia yet?) to do THIS much damage. I was thinking he might score six or eight points. Sixteen points, and three assists, that’s beyond my wildest dreams. That’s why I’m bopping to Severina right now (Rodjeno moje is becoming my summer anthem for real).
Is there gonna be a summer league this season? Are they gonna call it “Fall League”? How about a Euro Cup of some kind? When’s the next time I get to see Samanic play? Because, in this unjust world, you know he won’t get any minutes in the playoffs. The Spurs are in the playoffs right?
