Slovenia vs USA

[T Park]

No need to get angry. What did you expect? This is the strongest US team in years and next to that is motivated, and plays a lot more like a team that the ones before

Thank you.

At least your not giving the ref excuse like the others are.

:tu

[angel_luv]

how many hours of sleep did everyone get, if you've slept at all? i got about 5 hours


About the same. :)

[T Park]

Well then fuck the rest of the world. This is basketball, and thats it. That salute is a sign of respect to the military men and women who are at the games. If the rest of the world wants to use that as a reason to hate us, well then fuck them.



Ditto

Well said.

[Pero]

Jealousy 100%

Maybe some are, but not here. There`s not much to be jealous about....

[MannyIsGod]

Anyone know where I can get a boxscore during the game?

[Pero]

Why don't you stop bringing politics into a basketball thread. How about that?

:lol

Ok, sorry :)

[T Park]

There`s not much to be jealous about....

I see denial aint just a river in egypt either apparently..

[velik_m]

Thank you.

At least your not giving the ref excuse like the others are.

:tu

this team is showing what a big loser Tim is for failing to bring gold to USA in olympics.

[MannyIsGod]

Maybe some are, but not here. There`s not much to be jealous about....Well, people who aren't jealous don't usually try to point out they arne't jealous.

I'm not saying your jealous, I'm just making an observation.

Stick to the basketball aspect of things. I love you Slovenians, but I'm giong to give you hell today because today you're the opponent. But you really need to stop with the "extra" BS.

[angel_luv]

With the saluting... I think it would be more appropriate before the game during intros and then maybe again after the game.
It does seem a little like show boating to salute right after a play- especially if you are the one who made it.

[Pero]

I see denial aint just a river in egypt either apparently..

Sorry, but you don`t know me, there is no denial (for me anyway)...

But Manny is right, we should keep politics out of a basketball thread.

[MannyIsGod]

this team is showing what a big loser Tim is for failing to bring gold to USA in olympics.Tim's team wasn't motivated the way this one is. This team is a better team as well.

I'm very impressed with this team's hustle. They don't play standard defense, but they do a good job using their athletic ability on D. Unlike a lot of other people on here, I think Coach K has done a good job so far.

I still wish Bruce was there. :(

[joeyjfive]

what were they saying about david robinson?

[angel_luv]

All right, Slovenia.

Time for a glorious comeback win!

[Sanders]

We're playing hit&run with the US?? If this goes on our players will burn out, and there are two very important games yet to be played... I imagine it's a thrill playing against the US, but they really should slow the game down just a bit...

[angel_luv]

But Manny is right, we should keep politics out of a basketball thread.


Agreed :tu

[ata]

No need to get angry. What did you expect? This is the strongest US team in years and next to that is motivated, and plays a lot more like a team that the ones before.

Exactlly, so why is bashing Pipan necesary!

[MannyIsGod]

With the saluting... I think it would be more appropriate before the game during intros and then maybe again after the game.
It does seem a little like show boating to salute right after a play- especially if you are the one who made it.Of course its a bit of show boating. American's didn't invent showboating in sports. One needs to simply watch the rest of the world during the World Cup to understand that.

Anyhow, this team is motivated and has a swagger that I like.

[Pero]

we`re outrebounding the US lol
too bad we can`t outscore them too :lol

[T Park]

With the saluting... I think it would be more appropriate before the game during intros and then maybe again after the game.

aww

whats the matter

are we gonna hurt some feelings.


Christ Slovenia, butch up.

[angel_luv]

Of course its a bit of show boating. American's didn't invent showboating in sports. One needs to simply watch the rest of the world during the World Cup to understand that.

Anyhow, this team is motivated and has a swagger that I like.

:lol

I know my opinion isn't Gospel... do as seems best to you.

[Pero]

start of the second half

[ata]

Nevertheless, Slovenia has more rebounds as USA :wow

[T Park]

Of course its a bit of show boating. American's didn't invent showboating in sports. One needs to simply watch the rest of the world during the World Cup to understand that.

Anyhow, this team is motivated and has a swagger that I like.

Yeah at least Dwayne Wade doesnt pull his jersey over his head like those goofs do after they score.

[angel_luv]

we`re outrebounding the US lol
too bad we can`t outscore them too :lol


That would be nice, wouldn't it?

[T Park]

Is this color guy really trying to make a comment about a WNBA injury being "interesting"

Lord....


ANOTHER TO!!

Was it Beno again? :lol

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

I know my opinion isn't Gospel... do as seems best to you.Oh, you'd like the salute if Rasho was doing it :)

[angel_luv]

I just want to see Slovenia play thier game and have a great half. After that I can accept whatever happens.

[T Park]

Holy shit is this a Spurs game??

Rasho benched starting the beginning of the second half :lmao

[angel_luv]

Oh, you'd like the salute if Rasho was doing it :)

That thought did occur to me... which is why I knew I couldn't tell you anything. :lol :angel

I am glad Rasho hasn't though.

[Pero]

WTF???? carried ball?
howard blocked by brezec
milic late with pass, but slo ball still
off foul where??
breza def reb
oooohhh, great block, and dunk later by james
milic fouled

[T Park]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What a sick dunk by Lebron

:lol

God that guy is amazing.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I don't mind the salutes. It's more like a team thing, you know, get the group loose and stuff.

At worst it'd annoy the other players, but whatever.

It's not like they're doing what Vince Carter did.

[Pero]

68-51
jurak 3rd foul, howard two shots

[T Park]

Beno aint out there either.

What did the coach throw the towel in already!?!?!?

[T Park]

Slovenians are throwing a few cheap shots.

[Slo spurs fan]

Fucking assholes this refs

[Pero]

misses both, howard foul
ozbolt foul
brezec foul, but it was a clean block
anthony makes both
70-51
off foul jurak

[ata]

What the fuck?
Foul on Brezec? That was pure block!

[Slo spurs fan]

Brezec´s block was clean as fresh water.

[Pero]

Fucking assholes this refs

Doesn`t matter. They`re outplaying us either way.

[Pero]

wtf, what kind of shot was that jurak???
slokar in for jurak

[Slo spurs fan]

Doesn`t matter. They`re outplaying us either way.
True, but why help US anyway?

[Pero]

damn milic, that was probably intentional....

[Pero]

howard misses both free throws
72-51
hinrich scores 74-51

[angel_luv]

Yes Brez!

[T Park]

True, but why help US anyway

Don't be such a sore loser.

[Slo spurs fan]

This was NOT continuation.

[Pero]

I don`t know why Vilfan is complaing about the extra free throw. He was going for the layup...

[T Park]

Shoot, we might have a Brad Miller sighting!!!!!!!

[ata]

OK, not that we would have any real chance against USA, but refs are sucking big time...

[Pero]

Shoot, we might have a Brad Miller sighting!!!!!!!

He isn`t in regular rotations usually?

[T Park]

I can't believe that they are holding Rasho Beno and Nachbar out of the second half.

Talk about giving up.....

Pathetic.

[T Park]

He isn`t in regular rotations usually?

Hell no :lol

[ata]

I don`t know why Vilfan is complaing about the extra free throw. He was going for the layup...
James was fouled at FIRST step, ref called, however he continued and scored...

[T Park]

25 assists to 1 turnover...


DOM I NATION!!!

[sendman]

Difference in quality is big. US are in the class of their own. But refs are beyond ridiculous.

[angel_luv]

Sho sighting. :D

[Pero]

I can't believe that they are holding Rasho Beno and Nachbar out of the second half.

Nachbar is in. But we gave up before the game already. Coach said they`re already preparing for the game against Puerto Rico and that he`ll try to divide the minutes in this game. And yes, that is pathetic...

[Pero]

OMG, what did Rasho miss?!?!

[T Park]

lmao

Rasho just pulled.

A Rasho.


That was pathetic.


All alone, misses a layup.

No dunk, a layup...


:lol

Thank you again Toronto..

[SCdac]

Hahahaha Classic Rasho. Catch the ball from a foot away and try for a little chip shot instead of the dunk...Briiick

[sendman]

Ouch! T-Park will eat Rasho alive for this!

[angel_luv]

Announcers giving Jaka high praise. :)

[ata]

I can't believe that they are holding Rasho Beno and Nachbar out of the second half.

Talk about giving up.....

Pathetic.

OK, TPork
This game is meaningless for Slovenia, chances to win this were next to nothing even before the game. If we want to make to PO, we have to beat China at least (beating Portorico would just help).

So why would our coach play best players only, when more important games follow next two days.

Go choke on some burger...

[T Park]

Coach said they`re already preparing for the game against Puerto Rico and that he`ll try to divide the minutes in this game

What a pussy defeatist attitude.

Thats pathetic.

[Pero]

WFT is vilfan talking... How can I enjoy if we`re losing....

[T Park]

OK, TPork

lmao

Insulting me,

doesnt make the decision to give up, any worse.


Classic, insult me to cover up for your problems.

Can't wait till this games over and I can leave.

[MannyIsGod]

Go choke on some burger...Oh shit, thats the funniest thing I've read in this thread so far. hahahahhaha

[angel_luv]

Beautiful Sho! :elephant

[T Park]

T-Park will eat Rasho alive for this!

I don't care.

I find it funny.

Hes Toronto's mistake and waste of oxygen now.


SALUTE TO TORONTO!!! :lmao

[Pero]

Oh shit, thats the funniest thing I've read in this thread so far. hahahahhaha

:lol

[angel_luv]

All right... what do we need to do to move on to the next round?

[T Park]

Oh shit, thats the funniest thing I've read in this thread so far. hahahahhaha



:lol

Yeah,

almost as funny as me waxing your ass in poker.

[angel_luv]

Great Slovenia! :fro

[Pero]

a little run by slo
88-66

[angel_luv]

Whoosh!
Dajmo Slovenija!

[angel_luv]

:lol Sho- I know, honey!

[Pero]

All right... what do we need to do to move on to the next round?

At least beat China. But to be safe, also Puerto Rico.

[T Park]

What exactly was Rasho shaking his head about?

He hacked Brand across the arms.

[angel_luv]

Three!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bruno]

lmao

Insulting me



Insulting people is damn weak but you deserve it by acting like a 10 years old kid on this thread.

[angel_luv]

Whoosh Sho with a three!

That alone was worth waking up for! :elephant

Fear the Sho! :fro

[ata]

lmao

Insulting me,

doesnt make the decision to give up, any worse.


Classic, insult me to cover up for your problems.

Can't wait till this games over and I can leave.

Insulting you?
Can hypos be insulted?

[T Park]

:lol

Rasho misses another 2 footer.

Then prefers not to fight for a rebound..

:lol

What a wimp.

[SCdac]

Rasho for the three!

man this is too much.

[angel_luv]

At least beat China. But to be safe, also Puerto Rico.


Let's do it then! :D

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Yeah,

almost as funny as me waxing your ass in poker.:lmao

Yes, it takes all the skill in the world to get your money in with the worst hand each time and suck out. Props! I am no equal to you.

Go choke on some burger...

[angel_luv]

Rasho for the three!

man this is too much.

Sho rocks! :lol Made a free throw too! That's my guy! :D

[T Park]

Insulting you?
Can hypos be insulted


If you think your childish name calling bothers me, it doesn't...

:lol

I think its hilarious you focus on just me...

[MannyIsGod]

I was told we had the 8th (or so) Tpark retirment yesterday. I guess I was given incorrect information. :(

[Slo spurs fan]

If you think your childish name calling bothers me, it doesn't...

:lol

I think its hilarious you focus on just me...
Why are you so thrilled about this game kid?
I thought you don´t bother?

[T Park]

Yes, it takes all the skill in the world to get your money in with the worst hand each time and suck out. Props! I am no equal to you.
Go choke on some burger...



:lol

Scoreboard.

Win is a win...

But typical you, like you did with Kori, to discount someone's win Mr Poker expert.

[MannyIsGod]

120-74 USA.

Beno will succumb to pressure and have 23 turovers....in the first quater.Well, I was off on the turnovers but my score might come in very close

[velik_m]

lol @ Tpark talking shit about giving up, you are an expert on the subject

[Pero]

What`s with the insults. :lol

[MannyIsGod]

:lol

Scoreboard.

Win is a win...

But typical you, like you did with Kori, to discount someone's win Mr Poker expert.Ha, Tpark, I just told you that you were better than me. Seriously, You have scoreboard, I can't come close to you in poker. You're the champ bud. Props.

Now...anytime you want to up the stakes and play for the kind of money you lied about.....

[T Park]

Why are you so thrilled about this game kid?
I thought you don´t bother?



Cause to see assholes like you bothered by it.


I was told we had the 8th (or so) Tpark retirment yesterday. I guess I was given incorrect information

You can have the board back after the game is over.

You and all your slovenian buddies can circle jerk each other over genius insults all day.

[angel_luv]

What`s with the insults. :lol

Maybe they are not morning people? :angel

:lol

[Slo spurs fan]

Melo´s traveling and ofcourse no call.

[MannyIsGod]

lol @ Tpark talking shit about giving up, you are an expert on the subject:lmao

[T Park]

...anytime you want to up the stakes and play for the kind of money you lied about

Yeah I will beat you there, and then youll put that down, like you put everyone elses wins down mr poker millionaire.



When I get back, whenever your ready Mr Poker expert, who Ive heard from some, has never won a Poker GTG tourny yet

Wich is amazing seeing as you know EVERYTHING about the game, and no one dares know anything as well.

[MannyIsGod]

Tpark you're the ultimate punk ass bitch.

[ata]

So, Carmelo may travel at will, or what?

[angel_luv]

Whoosh! Lovely shot Sho! :cheer

[SCdac]

Rasho with the turnaround jumper. Who does he think he is, Elton Brand? :lol

[MannyIsGod]

Yeah I will beat you there, and then youll put that down, like you put everyone elses wins down mr poker millionaire.



When I get back, whenever your ready Mr Poker expert, who Ive heard from some, has never won a Poker GTG tourny yet

Wich is amazing seeing as you know EVERYTHING about the game, and no one dares know anything as well.Why wait Tpark. You name the poker site of your choice and we can do it now. As for me never winning at a poker GTG, I've cashed in several tourneys and I've made profits in cash games.

Dude, if you want to get in a pissing contest with poker, the only thing I ask is you bring money. You love to lie about shit, but for once put your money where your mouth is.

[T Park]

Tpark you're the ultimate punk ass bitch.

And your the ultimate fuck face asshole too.

Glad Im done with this shit ass board after the game is over.

[angel_luv]

I am proud of Slovenia for their continued effort. It will help them later on.

[MannyIsGod]

And your the ultimate fuck face asshole too.

Glad Im done with this shit ass board after the game is over.Why wait?

[MannyIsGod]

I guess we can number this the 9th Tpark retirement.

[T Park]

As for me never winning at a poker GTG, I've cashed in several tourneys and I've made profits in cash games.

Dude, if you want to get in a pissing contest with poker, the only thing I ask is you bring money. You love to lie about shit, but for once put your money where your mouth is.

Amaziing how youve won all these Spurstalk GTG Poker tournys when ive been told by people AT the tournaments that you havent won one of em.

Guess these multiple people are wrong too.


I love to lie about shit?

Stick it up your ass mr poker superstar.

[angel_luv]

Good Brez!

[SCdac]

I am proud of Slovenia for their continued effort. It will help them later on.

It could be worse for 'em, despite the 20 some point lead. I think they show potential... not that I'm much of a Slovenia fan or anything.

[angel_luv]

Good rebound Sho. :D

[T Park]

Why wait?

Waiting for the pictoral evidence of you winning these supposed tournys where Ive been told you havent won 1.

[angel_luv]

Yes Jaka!

[MannyIsGod]

Amaziing how youve won all these Spurstalk GTG Poker tournys when ive been told by people AT the tournaments that you havent won one of em.

Guess these multiple people are wrong too.


I love to lie about shit?

Stick it up your ass mr poker superstar.:lol

Tpark, put your money where your mouth is bud. Pick a poker site, I'll put money there. If you think I suck, so be it, then I suck. I know nothing about poker and I've never managed to win a damn thing. I'm horrrrrrrrrrrrible at poker.

But I'm willing to put my money on the line against you any day man.

[T Park]

Is the mercy rule in effect yet?

[MannyIsGod]

Waiting for the pictoral evidence of you winning these supposed tournys where Ive been told you havent won 1.K, I haven't won anything.

Wanna play me?

[sendman]

Not that it would make any difference, but double standards by the refs are unbeluveble. They are not calling any traveling by the US and foul calling is just borderline idiotic.

[Slo spurs fan]

If you think your childish name calling bothers me, it doesn't...


And your the ultimate fuck face asshole too.

Glad Im done with this shit ass board after the game is over.

[velik_m]

you guys should stop hijacking the thread

[T Park]

If you think I suck, so be it, then I suck.

Never said you suck.

Just sick of your know it all attitude and why we should bow to your every word at poker.

[MannyIsGod]

Never said you suck.

Just sick of your know it all attitude and why we should bow to your every word at poker.K, wanna play me?

[T Park]

K, I haven't won anything.



Don't look at me, thats what I have been told.

[angel_luv]

All right Beci!

[angel_luv]

Nachbar to Jaka! Sweet!!!!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

Don't look at me, thats what I have been told.So yeah, wanna play?

[angel_luv]

This is my Slovenia- yes guys!

[angel_luv]

Whoosh!

[angel_luv]

Wow Sho! :elephant

[angel_luv]

Man to man makes a difference.

[MannyIsGod]

Man to man makes a difference.As does the game being a blowout and USA not really caring as much.

[MannyIsGod]

I guess it finally happened....

Tpark choked on some burger....

[Pero]

I guess it finally happened....

Tpark choked on some burger....

:lol :lol :lo

The score is 109-94

1 min. 30 to go

[angel_luv]

Good rebound Sho! Go Nachbar. :)

[angel_luv]

I love the Slovenian fans- they are awesome. :tu

[angel_luv]

Good effort Slovenia! :clap

[Pero]

final score 114-95

[angel_luv]

Now to take out China and Puerto Rico.

Next! :D

[velik_m]

Our centers are better than american. I was hoping Pipan will try too surprise the USA and sub Jurak for Brezec in the first half to force the americans to try and deal with Breza-Rasho duo. oh, well

[SCdac]

Wasnt Beno's best showing *sigh*. At least compared to the rest of the Slovenian guards... Who was that quicker guard for Slovenia? Came off the bench. Dude was pretty good.

[Pero]

Wasnt Beno's best showing *sigh*. At least compared to the rest of the Slovenian guards... Who was that quicker guard for Slovenia? Came off the bench. Dude was pretty good.

You mean Lakovic? The small guard? He was ok in second half, but us defense wasn`t as agressive then.

[Slo spurs fan]

Wasnt Beno's best showing *sigh*. At least compared to the rest of the Slovenian guards... Who was that quicker guard for Slovenia? Came off the bench. Dude was pretty good.
Ozbolt No6 or Becirivic No7

[sendman]

OK, USA displayed their might. We had a game for 10 minuts and then Slovenians just couldn't keep up with the pressure by US defense. After 15 minutes it was an exhibition game till the end. Nice game and nobody got hurt.

[Slo spurs fan]

If you mean Jaka Lakovic, yes he was good in 2nd half, but he fucked us up big time in 1st.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

Good job Slovenia. Not quitting and playing the whole game.

And actually the U.S. team should stop doing that salute thing, it's pretty immature looking.

[velik_m]

there you go Manny, hope you don't mind the artistic image of flag.

[Slo spurs fan]

Good job Slovenia. Not quitting and playing the whole game.

And actually the U.S. team should stop doing that salute thing, it's pretty immature looking.


But..but...cough...cough...theese damn burgers...cough...

[SCdac]

Yeah, I guess it was Lakovic.

[Slo spurs fan]

there you go Manny, hope you don't mind the artistic image of flag.
:lol

[Pero]

Damn, I don`t think I won anything yet on the vBookies during the WC. Maybe once...

[MannyIsGod]

there you go Manny, hope you don't mind the artistic image of flag.Thats cool!

I should put something about choking on burgers in my sig. :lol

[Pero]

Thats cool!

I don`t see any flag???

[Slo spurs fan]

Scrool up

[ata]

Thats cool!

I should put something about choking on burgers in my sig. :lol

What about copyright?

[themvp]

Good end of the game. I have one message for Rasho and Brezec: DUNK THE BALL!

I think our players have now some confidence for Puerto Rico and China.

And USA team is amazing.

[Pero]

Scrool up

I did, I don`t see any flag anywhere.???

[Pero]

Nevermind, got it.

[Kibic]

Good job Slovenia. Not quitting and playing the whole game.

And actually the U.S. team should stop doing that salute thing, it's pretty immature looking.

Just look at TO. They were almost all with foul with both hands. They alone were worth of 22 pts.
Refs did their homework. Refs were impressed with NBA "stars".


:madrun

[Pero]

Just look at TO. They were almost all with foul with both hands. They alone were worth of 22 pts.
Refs did their homework. Refs were impressed with NBA "stars".

Please, we were outplayed, refs or no refs, we don`t win the game either way.

[Pero]

We would have to play some defense to be able to win against US....

[angel_luv]

We would have to play some defense to be able to win against US....


We'll beat the USA next round. :)

[MannyIsGod]

We'll beat the USA next round. :)Veronica, were you taking shots on every Beno TO????!?!?!!?!?

[Urko]

Just look at TO. They were almost all with foul with both hands. They alone were worth of 22 pts.
Refs did their homework. Refs were impressed with NBA "stars".


:madrun
Maybe a little....

We need to start playing defense as well and only then we'll be able to go to next round.

[Kibic]

Please, we were outplayed, refs or no refs, we don`t win the game either way.

Sure we did not win. But game, pressure,...with 51:50.....or 60:40...just is not the same.

[angel_luv]

Veronica, were you taking shots on every Beno TO????!?!?!!?!?


Hello, it's me. :angel

The one turn over I saw Beno make, I "Cheers" for the shot you were about to take Manny. :lol

How many turnovers did Beno end up with?

[Slo spurs fan]

Hello, it's me. :angel

The one turn over I saw Beno make, I "Cheers" for the shot you were about to take Manny. :lol

How many turnovers did Beno end up with?
4. :depressed

[angel_luv]

Hopefully the team got all their tournament turnovers out of the way today.

:)

[angel_luv]

I am going to try to take a nap. :sleep

Nasvidenje. Dober dan. :angel

[SLOVENIAN 8]

I am sure if we face USA again then we will beat them

[Renu_]

I just got home from work. Was it really an exhibition game after 15 minutes?? I expected more points from Sani and better defence... Angel, it seems you had great time nevertheless, Sho made you proud?? :D

DAJMO SLOVENIJA!!

[samikeyp]

I rooted for my country to win and are glad they did but I still think Slovenians and their country are pretty cool. I think your coach made some mistakes though getting away from what you guys were doing good and then sitting three of your NBA guys to start the 2nd half.

Slovenia is still my second favorite country. :tu

Best of luck the rest of the way.

[TDMVPDPOY]

fuck beno did alright in first quarter, wtf happen after that?

[velik_m]

fuck beno did alright in first quarter, wtf happen after that?

zone defense from slovenia and USA shooting 70% from 3. also good defense from USA.

[mavsfan1000]

Congrats to Slovenia on a well played game. You made USA sweat a little early in the game but USA was making their shots which is key for them. Ignore T Porks idiotic comments.

[Kibic]

Nice from you! It help's. :tu

[ashbeeigh]

I don't know how many turnovers Beno did have in the 2nd quarter, but I swear I saw like three in my half awake muted TV. But way to go for both teams. Slovenia for a good game and USA for pulling it out.

[angel_luv]

I just got home from work. Was it really an exhibition game after 15 minutes?? I expected more points from Sani and better defence... Angel, it seems you had great time nevertheless, Sho made you proud?? :D

DAJMO SLOVENIJA!!

I wish you could have been off for the game.

I had a very nice time.

Sho made a three! :elephant I was proud of the whole team. :D

[RashoFan]

Whoosh Sho with a three!

That alone was worth waking up for! :elephant

Fear the Sho! :fro
Damn I missed a Rasho Three????
I am glad Angel got to see it since she missed(sorta) Rasho's 3 against Sacramento in the playoffs....

[samikeyp]

Fear the Sho! :)

[wolf754life]

I hope we play slovenia in the 2nd round, and crush their punk asses again! We live in the USA, its our NBA, I don't listen to Reggae! It is our game, and we are showing why! Cry to the sky, it won't matter, as King James makes your dreams splatter!

oh la la

on to the next level

[angel_luv]

Damn I missed a Rasho Three????
I am glad Angel got to see it since she missed(sorta) Rasho's 3 against Sacramento in the playoffs....


:lol

Thanks sis.

I hope we play slovenia in the 2nd round, and crush their punk asses again! We live in the USA, its our NBA, I don't listen to Reggae! It is our game, and we are showing why! Cry to the sky, it won't matter, as King James makes your dreams splatter!

oh la la

on to the next level


I can agree with the bolded part. You lost me after that. :)

That`s impossible. As for the rest, are you drunk or something?

[RashoFan]

Are you 10 or 11 y/o?

[angel_luv]

That`s impossible.


Who will Slovenia meet in the second round?

[Slo spurs fan]

Someone from group C

[Slo spurs fan]

Prob. Greece or Turkey

[angel_luv]

hvala Slo. :)

[Slo spurs fan]

No problem, Angel. We beat Greece in Euro05 by 12 points and we beat Turkey in a lot of games including last year in Efes Pilsen Cup (preparation games for Euro05), but we lost to them in this year Efes Cup by more than 20 points. So we still have some good chance to progress further than 1/8 final, BUT we must beat Puerto Rico and China first!

Sounds like a game plan to me. :tu :)

we shouldn't be talking about Greece and Turkey before we prove we can beat Puerto Rico and China. And i don't see the relevance of previous games with Turkey as they overhauled their team this year.

Please read my post again. I wrote big "BUT" and "good chances". I didn´t wrote we are already in 1/4 final.

The thing that sucked about this game was when Team USA pressed Beno with one man, he automatically turned the ball over. Just like in the NBA.

I really don't understand it, had he never been pressed in his life 'til the Detroit series? Or did that just rattle him so much that he can never handle the press again?

It's concerning.

[Dre_7]

Is there a boxscore to this game?

The commentator (Vilfan) was really tough to listen today, but he said one thing right.. Rasho-Brezec combination should come handy, Pipan should try more of that tomorrow. And i would like to see Jaka, Becirovic and Ozbolt with them. Even if it is just for a minute.

DAJMO SLOVENIJA!!

[B]Yes.
When he played here.
He turned the ball over.

Udrih is usually pretty cool.
When his team is up/down by 20.

[temujin]

How was the game?
20 point don't look that bad.

From the Fiba Website:
"This wasn't an important game for us," said Slovenian captain Rasho Nesterovic, who finished with 14 points.
"It was good to play against them and to feel what is like to play against such a good team.
"For us the vital game is tomorrow against Puerto Rico." :depressed

This quote confused me! Any GOOD TEAM is an important game for a rising (previously unqualified) team!

OR, is it just me! :oops

Slovenia needs the win to advance. That may be what Sho meant.

[SoCalGirlMeronKirsHamm]

[B]Total focus in sports always includes making the impossible match-up reasonably possible.

This type of aggressiveness give much better results! Just look at how they almost caught up toward the end. They did not seem to have full effort from everyone. This could have been an attitude mistake!

[Kamnik]

T Park i dont really understand why u are all over this thread if gloating and stupid comments is all u gonna do

i dont approve insulting but u are really making it hard for everyone to be nice to ya




btw, i had to leave for work when second half started :depressed

oh well i hope we beat puerto rico! :elephant

[milkyway21]

watching Slovenia playing against the USA team not losing composure in the 1st 2 qtrs it made me realize how good this team really is. and they actually outrebounded the US 40-29? That twin towers combination of Rasho and Primo Brezec is worth watching for.

i knew that the Americans would beat Slovenia but i didn't know it would be that hard for the U.S. to do it. They actually reduced the deficit to just 12(?) in the last few minutes of the 4thQ (i was happy bec i bet for a below 17-pt deficit, but lost :cry).

i think there's a big chance for Slovenia to make the next rd. Good luck for their next game.

and, that Wade's dunk :wow :wow :wow made me remember that VC dunk in the Olympics yrs ago. Wade just became the sparkplug of the U.S. team that whenever he comes in this team makes a run and erase the deficit of the opposing team.Wade's lay-up eight minutes into the contest gave the American team the lead for good.
He did it in the game against China, he did it again when Slovenia was ahead a few pts against their team last night. :clap

[Pero]

Wade is awesome, great skills and athleticism. Maybe he could improve his oustide shot.

he should improve his D, sani was going pass him, like he was made of air. He's pretty awesome otherwise.

[orhe]

Wade = mr bad shot
