Great game this one. I give Turkey a little advantage due to fans...

I think that Turkey will win quite easily. They're playing well, they're the home team and they've been set up to succeed. Quite frankly I do not see Slovenia as being good enough to combat those obstacles.

Turkey is favorite, but I want Slovenia to win this. Both teams playing good basketball though, it's just Turkey is more complete (specially if Hedo delivering) and has a heck of a frontline.

Turkey and Slovenia are playing the best basketball. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

I hope Slovenia clinches this. They've been out of the loop for too long and they need a big win like this to get them into the semis. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Whatever good Turkey accomplishes in this tournament I doubt they would be able to repeat in any other place away from their home. They're just not that good a team, not that experienced and don't have enough tradition compared to many other countries.

Turkey is dismantling Slovenia as we speak... it's embarrassing.

Slovenia totally hopeless, and it really was all Becirovic's (the coach) fault. What bad defense deployed by him! Not taking advantage of your teams quickness is inexcusable for Slovenia. Becirovic doesn't deserve coaching them.
