I don't understand what were you trying to tell..?

Excellent chance for Serbia to make Turkey feel like in hell.

Today's schedule is the most interesting we've seen so far in the tournament!! :thup:

Serbia VS Turkey
Serbia wants a revenge for what happend last year and both teams must win in order to qualify. So they will give all they got and we will see an awesome game!!!

France VS Spain
Probably the best two teams in the tournament!! Although seems it will be a very close game(on terms of who wins it) I think Spain will have the control of the game for maybe 40 minutes! Arrogance may prove bad for the Spaniards though! :bag:

Lithuania VS Germany
Although I like German team and of course I support Dirk & Kaman I don't think they have chances. Even if they do play better than Lithuania... they will not win!!

Well we're coming out third place (so it seems), so we play the loser of Spain-France. We definitely want the French instead of the Spanish at this stage just because we've been their demon for 25 years where they couldn't beat us in an official or unofficial match (until last year's world championship)

Duda Ivkovic said that Serbia will win if and only IF they don't play this match trying to get revenge, but trying to win like there was no yesterday! He is a Jedi!

Something tells me that tensions will be running high in this match! Here's hoping that all chairs are firmly bolted down :crazy:

It is impossible to win with this funny percentages. FT: 3/8 2P: 9/20 3P: 2/9
Our offensive sets were worst than even college teams. They seem broken down as mentally. I think it's time to be back home.

Turkey FT% are just ridiculous. In the worst possible sense.

Too bad for Turkey, if Asik actually learned how to properly shoot and make free throws (especially those last two he missed in the last minutes) instead of being just a piece of meat, Turkey would have cheered for winning the game. 68-67 for Serbia and the runners-up world champions have not qualified to the final 8 best teams of Eurobasket.

TURKS, Go home!

That charge of Savanovic was non-existent with 4:32 left in the game when he knocked down Ilyasova. Ilyasova clearly fell in the semi circle area under the basket where charges are NOT called. Ref made up his own rule for that one. I'm not impressed with how stupidly easy charges are called. It's just getting pathetic and degrades the quality of the game. We had charges called back in the day too, not like just how players today flop and dive like bitches waiting for calls from the ref to be in their favour.

In the beginning of the game Serbia was doing well and had a healthy lead. With how they were playing from middle of the third quarter onwards, Turkey was outclassing them and pretty much equalized the score. In such delicate situations you certainly DO NOT have the luxury of missing free throws, and this was Turkey's biggest downfall. There is no excuse to miss an easy basket when it is only you in front of the basket. Bad FT% has been a big problem for the Hellas NT too, but we many times manage to pull rabbits out of the hat to make up for it
