[Pero]

if we just stop their outside shot, we`ll be alright

[Pero]

fucking refs, better finish of the half
well it is FIBA, though americans think only they get bad calls....

[angel_luv]

I think the half time break will be profitable- give everyone time to catch their breath and focus on acheiving our game plan.

[velik_m]

if we just stop their outside shot, we`ll be alright

you can't fadeaway 3 pointers, but we did pretty good. It's just that refs let Italians play phisical and whistle every touch on our side. It's the old story - we pulled away early and the refs thought we'll steamroll them so they gave a helping hand to the italians.

And you could see that happening from outer space. Anyways, if we can win this one, then we mature enough for some serious shit. They gave us only 36 points, the games is still one sided. DAJMO NASI!

[velik_m]

it's the same shit as in the last Euro, we have to beat the opposing team and the refs. When will we get some respect. Italians bribed the FIBA to get to WC and now they bribed the refs to help them out.

:flipoff

[angel_luv]

Well Dobro jutro and Lahko noc :lol

Now I must :sleep for a bit before church.

[Pero]

fucking italians
but this means one thing
they wont do anyting big on this WC fuckers

[Pero]

Now I must for a bit before church.

Lahko noč

[angel_luv]

Nasvidenje :D

[Pero]

it's the same shit as in the last Euro, we have to beat the opposing team and the refs. When will we get some respect. Italians bribed the FIBA to get to WC and now they bribed the refs to help them out.

yup, you heard what zibrat said, that some national teams paid like 500000 euros to be here....

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Fuck that game :madrun We play to much on 3pt :madrun :madrun :madrun
We should play more under the basket, and where was boki the whole second half :madrun Coach pipan.... :madrun :madrun

Dam after win in Thursday against USA everything will be better :smokin :lol

[10-tka]

Fuck my breathing didn't improve...

[Pero]

We should play more under the basket, and where was boki the whole second half Coach pipan....

foul trouble, though he probably still should have played through it

[angel_luv]

Dam after win in Thursday against USA everything will be better :smokin :lol

Isn't the game Tuesday?

[Pero]

Isn't the game Tuesday?

yes, probably made a typo

[Pero]

gotta go to another computer...

[SLOVENIAN 8]

Isn't the game Tuesday?
Yes! My bad :lol :lol

[Renu_]

i knew it, we live by Sani we die by Sani. :madrun

You've said it man. He took the responsibility but couldn't deliver. Well, it happened what we feared the most. Yeah, maybe we can take it on USA now. Too bad the game isn't tomorrow :lol

[Renu_]

Well Dobro jutro and Lahko noc :lol

Now I must :sleep for a bit before church.

Pray for the refs and their lost souls :D

[Pero]

Too bad the game isn't tomorrow

So true, we`d have a lot more chance if it was I think.


Pray for the refs and their lost souls

Don`t. Let them burn in hell. :lol

[Pero]

belinelli killed us, 26 pts
was he drafted in the NBA already or not?

[velik_m]

mah the refs killed us, the Italians played agresive defense and never got into any foul trouble. They gave us so many offensive fauls and the Italians could just plow through our defense. The whole game was a joke.

[sendman]

Our incompetent coach lost this one for us, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Lakovič and Jurak were directly responsible for losing this game on the flour, but Pipan is the guy that put them there. Lakovič has only one skill – to hit 3 pointer. His playmaking skills are miserable. Jurak…well he would be excellent for coal mining, for basketball man should have some other qualities. So once again: THANK YOU PIPAN FOR SITTING Beno and Nachbar while those two were slaughtering us.

[velik_m]

yes beno-jaka backcourt and nachbar at 4 would work much better.

also: waaay too many turnovers.

[10-tka]

did anybody noticed that Rasho tear his jersey Hulk Hogan style in anger?

[Renu_]

did anybody noticed that Rasho tear his jersey Hulk Hogan style in anger?

Quite righteously. If everybody had his heart in this game.. well there is too much ifs in my sentences. :depressed

[Pero]

I didn`t see that, but my sister told me that his jersey was already somewhat torn before and they were sewing it up during the game. :lol

[temujin]

mah the refs killed us, the Italians played agresive defense and never got into any foul trouble. They gave us so many offensive fauls and the Italians could just plow through our defense. The whole game was a joke.


:lmao


Try chess.

[picnroll]

belinelli killed us, 26 pts
was he drafted in the NBA already or not?
Not yet. 2007 draft. Expected to go high, likely lottery.

[temujin]

Belinelli has been drafted by Virtus.
Same folks that drafted Manu and Nesterovic.

[temujin]

Lakovic kept Slovenia alive.

It would have been -15 wityh Udrih.

And the Spurs should get rid of this looser quickly.

[picnroll]

Belinelli has been drafted by Virtus.
Same folks that drafted Manu and Nesterovic.
What I've seen he has a contract that ties him up until 2008. Does the contract go beyond that?

[sendman]

Lakovic kept Slovenia alive.

It would have been -15 wityh Udrih.

And the Spurs should get rid of this looser quickly.

So, are you watching basketball games for the first time in your life? Do you know all the rules? Are there any basketball courts in your town?

[temujin]

So, are you watching basketball games for the first time in your life? Do you know all the rules? Are there any basketball courts in your town?

My "town"?
It could fit 3/4 Slovenias.
And my street the whole of the 6000 Slovenian basketball players.

[temujin]

As for Belinelli, he was absolutely zero yesterday.

He needs 2/3 more years before thinking of considering the NBA.

[sendman]

My "town"?
It could fit 3/4 Slovenias.
And my street the whole of the 6000 Slovenian basketball players.

That big, huh?
Are you sure that there is nobody that can explain you a thing or two about BBall?

[temujin]

I had actually missed this absolutely wonderfull thread.


Now that I -sort of- read it, I appreciate even more what happened today.

Thank you folks!!!!!!

And now on with some serious basketball on Wednesday.

[temujin]

That big, huh?

No, that's the point, it's at all not that big.

Are you sure that there is nobody that can explain you a thing or two about BBall?


Did you see one of the winning coaches today?
I played for that winning coach.

[velik_m]

Belinelli has been drafted by Virtus.
Same folks that drafted Manu and Nesterovic.

since when do Italian teams draft?

[temujin]

Virtus picked Belinelli from way out of town.

15 Km.

They picked Manu and Nesterovic -and Smodis- out of nowhere.

[velik_m]

Yeah i'm guessing picking youth european championship MVP is out of nowhere, for someone who doesn't follow sport.

[temujin]

Yeah i'm guessing picking youth european championship MVP is out of nowhere, for someone who doesn't follow sport.

Nowhere is lax concept, admittedly.
More significantly, somewhere might be a mere 4-5 -additional- places.

As for your avatar, am I right or is the legendary soccer player Denis "Braveheart" Berkamp.
A guy that built a solid reputation here for being the first man on earth requiring total anesthesia to shave.

[velik_m]

yes, it's Bergkamp.

[sendman]

Did you see one of the winning coaches today?
I played for that winning coach.
Whoa, that is great!
Is he responsible for your english too?

[temujin]

No wonder the whining then, with Berkamp as avatar.

As for the game today, the refs made four bad calls, overall.
Two on each side.
Slovenia is stronger physically, but hardly used this strength.
They were non existant on the offensive bords, in the second half.
They played too much on the perimeter and did not use Nesterovic enough.
Italy is a "sticky" team on defense, very poorly talented inside and with some good perimeter shooting.

It has poise and desire.

An that was the difference, today.

As for Wednesday, Italy has players for a pretty good 3-2 zone, and watch the americans play their butts out of that.

[Pero]

Why do everyone have to get insulting? :lol
Temujin has good points.
I doubt how well Beno instead of Jaka would work. Since Beno wasn`t exactly productive either.



Not yet. 2007 draft. Expected to go high, likely lottery.

Me thinks so too.



As for Belinelli, he was absolutely zero yesterday.

I don`t get this??? How could he be "zero"? What should he do, score 50 instead of 26 against us? I don`t get what you mean...

[RashoFan]

did anybody noticed that Rasho tear his jersey Hulk Hogan style in anger?
I missed that??? :madrun That would have been hot.... :drool:

there was uncalled offensive foul on Italy and uncalled faul on Rasho's dunk just in 4th quarter, there was traveling before Italy hit a 3 pointer in first quarter... i could go on, most calls/non-calls were in italy's favour, but whatever - you're italian, rigged competitions are natural too you.

And is insulting Bergkamp to insult me, the best you can come up with? :wakeup

[sendman]

OK, answer this. Who was our PG when we played our best part of the game,
1stQ and at the end of 2ndQ?

there was uncalled offensive foul on Italy and uncalled faul on Rasho's dunk just in 4th quarter, there was traveling before Italy hit a 3 pointer in first quarter... i could go on, most calls/non-calls were in italy's favour,

The big international plot against Slovenia.

but whatever - you're italian,

that's what the ID says, yes. And the nationalistic crap is irrelevant to me.
rigged competitions are natural too you.

Rough.
Not rigged.
Rough.
And precisely for that, I love this particular basketball team.
Tough.

And is insulting Bergkamp to insult me, the best you can come up with? :wakeup

No. A fact is not an insult.
We've seen the sucker for a looooooooong year here, before finally getting rid of looser.

[temujin]

Why do everyone have to get insulting? :lol
Temujin has good points.

So obvious.
Never mind.

I doubt how well Beno instead of Jaka would work. Since Beno wasn`t exactly productive either.




Me thinks so too.

It's just that I still have to see Udrih take a team and carry it on his shoulders for a whole quarter. Maybe I am a bit biased because he was an absolute disaster here. He seems like a "good day" player.


I don`t get this??? How could he be "zero"? What should he do, score 50 instead of 26 against us? I don`t get what you mean...

Belinelli was zero against China.
He played well with Slovenia, forced way too many shots (for my standards, at least) and, in the end, it was Garri and Soragna that won it.

[temujin]

Whoa, that is great!
Is he responsible for your english too?

Was he......
Played for.....
Was. etch.
