Group B (Istanbul) - Group Stage

[ZEUS]

I watched the Slovenia vs. USA match and I have to say the Slovenians put in some good effort, made some great plays and dunks, but unfortunately weren't consistent enough to pile on the pressure to the US. After a certain point they just totally lost it and the US pulled ahead without much difficulty. However this match showed that team USA is not immune to being pressured. When that happens, the players make plenty of errors and misjudgements, I mean not many of them are that experienced professional basketball players. Teams have to stop respecting them so much and just pile on the hardcore pressure if anyone is going to have a chance at overcoming the US obstacle.
