I want an objective opinion about reffs at this game, please...



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 <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
