before every game you sad Turkey is not a good teame and after every game you said Turkey won it becouse the refrees are favorizing Turkey...[/quote]



Yes I did say that Turkey was not a good team, but was made up by good units as PLAYERS. Ilyasova is a brilliant player, although his performance is here today, gone the next. Erden was a MASSIVE force under the basket and much more efficient and productive than Asik or Savas (lol) will ever be. Guler was an interesting surprise as well, he should have got more playing time from Tanjevic. Overall however Turkey does not have flawless cohesion as a team. It's one thing having good players, and it's another thing getting them to cooperate efficiently in a team effort to win a basketball game.



I didn't say 'every game' either, go back and read my posts, you're making things up as you're going along. Don't lie. When Turkey had difficulties in winning the match, the referees interfered to an unbelievable level, and that was very clearly seen in the Puerto Rico and Serbia matches.

I think every teame in this turnement gat what they deserved. USA fairly won the championship, turkey deserved to get the silver, litvania deserved the bronze one. serbia deserved being the 4 place. it's a young teame in the future they will do better job. and greece deserved to get nothing...[/quote]



Turkey didn't deserve to be in the top four, they only made it there because they were the host nation, the exact same thing happened in Eurobasket 2001. Coincidence? I think not.



The USA, Lithuania and Serbia had some great games and they should have been on the podium, they were the teams that showed the best basketball at the moment.

And that's what I said in previous posts, if Turkey proves that it can win outside of its house, then fair play they will be considered as one of the rising forces in international basketball. But so far two silver medals won at home, one in a European championship, and one in a World championship just makes people roll their eyes and laugh.
