David vs Goliath

Tiny nation of 2 mio people vs 260 mio giant superpower

Will Slovenian players (which will play without any pressure) surprise USA (man, thay would be something to be ashame of)?

Or will NBA superstars demolish NBA benchwarmers and company from Euroleague?

My prediction: 97-94 SLOVENIA!!!

I think Team USA will win that game, but I expect a strong showing by Slovenia, which will be hungry after a tough loss the other night. If I had to guess I'd say:

USA 105
Slovenia 92

hey all, i read this forum a lot but i dont post much but something really pissed me off so much i went to reset my forum password so i could log in properly and post :lol

the thing i am pissed about is all the "defeatism" talk our team,coach and everyone has

YES team USA is damn strong and we will probably get beat and possibly by a lot

but.... imo the thing in this team i miss most about is mental toughness=balls

to say in public (most of the tam&coaches do) that they are already thinking about Puerto Rico is bullshit if u ask me

to throw away games is bad for the morale and not very sporty


if the game goes really bad from the start coach can decide to rest his core players etc but to throw away a game before it even starts is pathetic if u ask me


a bit offtopic but: they shot ppl in ww2 for "defeatism" :lol




------------

as for my general thought about our team....

i think we are doing the best we can so i cant blame them for loosing etc (the players) but i think Pipan just doesnt give proper minutes to proper players


Nachbar played grand total of 15 minutes against Italy :madrun (both games he played he played very well if not great)

Brezec who is supposed to be one of our top players played grand total of 9 minutes against italy with 4/5 FGs made :rolleyes

Slokar playes well; rebounds etc and shot 2/2 against italy also should get more minutes



on the other hand Jurak and Milic get way too many minutes that should go to these players


they are both fighters and good spirited ppl but Jurak is just too short for a PF (even Nachbar who is a SF is taller than him) and Milic's best years are behind him

check this score box out

If the US guards play serious defense, Slovenia is in trouble.
Deep trouble.
But watch out if they don't. I have seen Nesterovic in pretty good shape physically on Sunday and he is the perfect passer/shooter to play the in/out game.
That could keep Slovevia in the game, if Becirovic, Nachbar and Lakovic hit from the perimeter.
And if they play some rough last-game-of-my-life defense.

A lot of ifs.

No pressure.

Slovenia would probably win against RI/CT/MA/WA/AZ or any State team you might throw at them.

Save 2/3.
Perhaps.

So that's already pretty good.

No, fuck that, I very much think that is incorrect. I if we put together teams with players only born in states such as Indiana, New York, Texas, California, Florida, or a handfull of other states I still think they would be as talented if not more so than Slovenia. I think Slovenia would win more often, but not nearly as often as they think.

Team USA better be ready for Slovenia -- really
Aug. 21, 2006
By Tony Mejia
CBS SportsLine.com Staff Writer

If there is a game Team USA could come dangerously close to losing in first-round action at the FIBA World Championship, it's the one coming up in the early hours of Tuesday morning against unheralded Slovenia.

If there's a game that could mirror what happened to Mike Tyson against Buster Douglas in Japan 16 years ago, this is it. Only a small percentage of people actually saw that upset live, and even fewer saw it coming. Douglas was a 42-to-1 underdog.

People getting up early for work or getting their kids ready for school might catch a glimpse of this one, if only to monitor how much the U.S. is up. The Americans are 18-point favorites.

By all accounts, Tyson came into his fight out of shape and oblivious to his opponent's hunger. The U.S. players are anything but out of shape, coming off an explosive performance against the overwhelmed Chinese, basically dodging the Yao Ming bullet. It is, however, conceivable that Mike Krzyzewski's team could struggle with concentration, taking the third opponent lightly.

That's where the peril lies.

This is the middle game of group play for the United States, coming on the heels of a day off. Up next is Italy, who should move to 3-0 easily against winless Senegal. There's no doubt the Americans will be intent on going out and making a statement in that game. There's no jeopardy of overlooking a team that has been regarded as the main competition in Group D since the tournament began, but before that there's still the matter of Slovenia. Complicating matters is the fact Slovenia is pretty good.

"I'm impressed with them; they have a well-conceived offense. They have a number of NBA players on their team so they are not intimidated," Krzyzewski told the FIBA website. "(They're) well coached. They lost a heartbreaker against Italy; it was a great game. Italy and Slovenia are two teams with amazing grit and toughness, so we expect those two games to be really tough games for us."

Hopefully Krzyzewski's team heeds his warning. Slovenia lost to the Italians 80-76 on Sunday in a game that was tied with less than two minutes remaining. The outcome was in doubt until the final 15 seconds.

Slovenia, a relative newcomer on the international basketball scene, is led by Raptors center Rasho Nesterovic and Bobcats big man Primoz Brezec, with recent Toronto signee Uros Slokar coming off the bench. Those three are all 6-foot-10 or taller, posing a potential problem given the Americans' lack of size.

Their wings are solid, paced by Italian League veterans Sani Becirovic and Marko Milic and New Jersey Nets acquisition Bostjan Nachbar, currently the team's leading scorer. Savvy Sani Becirovic and San Antonio's Beno Udrih are the ball handlers.

Through two games, eight Slovenians are averaging eight or more points, which is a testament to their depth. If someone is slumping, they can turn to someone else. The U.S. has yet to face a team with that type of depth, basically toppling squads that lived with the philosophy of go-to guy (Carlos Arroyo, Yao) or bust.

Now, before you go thinking I'm running off at the typewriter trying to pump up the opponent, it should be noted that there's no way the U.S. shouldn't win this game. Every player on their roster would start for Slovenia. Brad Miller, who has to this point been the U.S. team's 12th man, would be considered an upgrade from Nesterovic, considered their top player.

Talent isn't the issue. Focus is. The situation dictates there could be a letdown, and as machine-like as the U.S. team has been, there have been situations where they have lost their way. It happened against Brazil in an exhibition, and it happened in the tournament opener against Puerto Rico. Both teams went on significant runs that made the outcome of those games closer than they should've been.

Another thing to consider is the lack of pressure Slovenia is under. Few give them a chance. Realistically, they probably chalked this game up as a loss when the round groupings were announced. They can let it all hang out and then concentrate on guaranteeing their passage to knockout play by notching a win against Puerto Rico and China. This could simply be viewed as a scrimmage geared toward generating confidence.

Should the U.S. lose, it's not like Team USA is going to be thrown out of the tournament. In fact, the Americans could conceivably bounce back to beat Italy, take the group and end up right where everyone expects them to be. However, the Americans would lose some of the aura of invincibility they have been building, allowing others to believe they can pull an upset, too.

Where this game was placed on the schedule -- right smack dab in the middle -- and the circumstances under which both teams come into it is shrouded by the unexplainable feeling that this is a setup. Something about it makes me uneasy. For the United States to cruise comfortably, it's best they feel that way, too.
