Slovenian National Team- 2007 version

[angel_luv]

Well, o Sho!

[angel_luv]

Browsing through the pictures... Slovenian guys are so cute!

[angel_luv]

Whomever the guy in the orange is looks a lot like a Scottish guy I used to have a crush on.

[velik_m]

The guy in orange is the ever "injured" Smodis aka Smoki.

Our guard situation is getting worse by the day.

So i guess Capin is a lock, that means Preldzic and Rizvic are out.

C: Radoslav Nesterovič, Erazem Lorbek
PF: Matjaž Smodiš, Uroš Slokar, Gašper Vidmar, Željko Zagorac
SF: Goran Jagodnik, Domen Lorbek,
SG: Jaka Klobučar, Sandi Čebular
PG: Jaka Lakovič, Goran Dragič, Aleksandar Čapin

thats 13, one of them goes. (Čebular )

[angel_luv]

Zagorac! I did remember his name right! Yea me.

So the ones I don't know: Vidmar, Jagodnik, Klobucar, and Cebular

I am glad Uros is playing.

[ploto]

Looks like Uros won't be back in the NBA- no big surprise. At least he got his chance to come for a year and now if he ever wants to come back, he is a free agent.

I'm glad I got to meet him when the Raps were here.

so...no hate here...but what is with you guys and your fascination with slovenian ball players?

just curious, cause ploto for one seems to always have the latest dirt on all the eastern euro's.


are you polish? or russian?

Because, as a wise guy poster recently said, " You can't teach dreamy like that."

Seriously though, I root for Sho, Beno, Uros, Boki, Brezec during the regular basketball season; they are some of my favorite NBA players.
So it just makes sense that I would cheer them on during their summer play as well.

[Soul_Patch]

gotcha...

I was mainly directing the question at ploto, as he/she always seems to know stuff about these obscure european players that most fans have never heard of....most of the time rightly so

[ploto]

Yeah- I understand that people don't get this thread here anymore. It started a summer when both Rasho and Beno were on the Spurs and were both playing for the NT. Now only Beno is a Spur and he is not even playing this summer, but there are still Slovenians who come here and like to discuss it.

Actually, Rasho is the ONLY NBA player playing for Slovenia this summer- kind of disappointing when he is the "old man."

Angel- it looks like Sani might be playing against the Spurs in the pre-season. You can add him to the list of those you meet.

Here's the article on Uros. He will probably end up in Spain or Russia.

How exciting!

[ploto]

For you Angel- check about 4 minutes into the sportscast.

[Soul_Patch]

So ploto are you solovenian?

And yea i could see why spurs fans may cross polinate to other european clubs, due to the history of recruiting from overseas...i was just curious what causes you guys to focus in on the slovs


And <3 angel...dont even know you but you are one of the sweetest internet personalities ive ever known...lol...

aw, thank you.

[velik_m]

Zagorac won't be playing either.

So that's 12.

If there are anymore cancelations we won't be able to field a full squad.

Thats sad and funny at the same time. But mostly sad.

[ploto]

I saw that today.

How are they even going to handle the games this weekend and next week- because Rasho and a couple of other guys are not even schedued to make the trip? Rasho will be in Belgrade.

[Pero]

Remember that we can`t have more than one naturalized player. So that means Preldzic and Rizvic are off the team. Because Capin will certainly make it. I would be VERY surprised and shocked if he doesn`t.

Why would they need to handle these games? It`s not about winning.

[ploto]

I meant concerns about overplaying guys for a bunch of meaningless games. There are 5 games in 6 days and very few players to use.

Oh... Coach said he`s going to give everyone playing time so that they get some experience if I remember right. I don`t think anyone will be overplayed. And isn`t there 11 players going to China? How is that few to use?

[ploto]

I thought they were down to 14 or 13 and 4 aren't going. Guess I lost count!

[Pero]

No, I think it`s something like that. I forgot.
But still, even if there are only 9 players, he can still divide time between all of them.

Here are some photos: http://www.alesfevzer.com/slo/photo.asp?IdEvento=547#

And this are 12 players, who won't play for whatever reason. Pretty good team:

Beno Udrih/Nebojsa Joksimovic
Sani Becirovic/Sasa Vujacic/Samo Udrih
Bostjan Nachbar/Marko Milic/Marko Maravic
Marko Tusek/Zeljko Zagorac
Primoz Brezec/Smiljan Pavic
