Also, we had way too much turnovers. Lithuania didn't show anything new. They rained the triples had fastbreaks. Our defense couldn't stop em. 3rd place match was history repeating itself. Once we loose an important match, its all over, we don't need to play anymore. I hate that, but it is because we are used to being gold all the time, their generation watched our best NTs in all sports winning gold over gold. From 90's to 2000. 3rd place was a "lost gold" in Yugoslavia...
I still believe that Serbia showed best basketball on this tournament, and in a way, It is much better experience to loose important match when you are young than win it.
The youngers will get more experience. They will learn from this defeat and get even better in the future. I said it before, Serbian basketball has a very bright future
