Players with big ego's are a cancer; even if they are right about some things.
And after last year in Poland I don't think anyone should underestimate Lakovič... he gets nothing but respect from me.
I bashed him before the EC and then ate loads of crow when he played almost 40 minutes a game and was actually our second best player.
I watched a bit of Croatia-Italy friendly yesterday.
Croatia has a much younger team this time around, especially under the basket, where i also think they are the weakest. They rely on fast paced game and the 3 quite a lot. Overall if we slow down the tempo and force feed our C's and stop their outside shooting on the defensive end, i think Croatia is very beatable. If we go into run&gun match with them, we'll be blown out.
We are not so good in the class of Slovenia and the rest, but we are good, underdogs. Especially last year in september, we had a good squad. We did pretty well on Eurobasket and I think we could have done much more, but the lack of experience also plays a part.
It was the first eurobasket for us since 1999. So It has just started for us, we need to develop. The problem with our team is that they dont know how to handle critical situations so well. Situations which can decide a game, when they need to step up. Even if you are the better team, in such situations you can still lose it. Now we have the same good players like last year except for the experienced Vrbica Stefanov.
Our players are fully alert for tomorrows friendly...
We beat Iran, we'll see how we do against Australia&China
SLOVENIA - IRAN
107:74 (24:18, 34:20, 27:19, 22:15)
Lost to Australia.
SLOVENIA - AUSTRALIA
63:77 (17:16, 17:24, 17:21, 12:16)
As long as Sani is our main player we'll suck.
Win over China today, but god damn we suck when it comes to close finishes, and by close i mean when we're up less than 20 points with 2 minutes to go.
Memi sucks balls. What a pathetic coach... I can't believe how good Zdovc now looks.
Ploto, do you have any info on Olympiakos signing Rasho?
Now KBP will be like Greek league >> NBA.
I think that's already a given.
Greek league >> NBA.
Yes they signed him. Next transfer will either be Tracy McGrady or Sasha Pavlovic.
We won the second game against Australia today.
SLOVENIA - AUSTRALIA
71:60 (12:16, 17:11, 15:20, 27:13)
Nice defensive effort, but Rizvic is such a liability, he should be cut.
Dragic look lost at times out there today.
Vidmar needs to work on his FT, he can't make one.
Dragic will quit this team in a week. I'm pretty sure. I was right about Beno and now I have the same feeling.
Why would they quit?
It's a Slovenian thing. Happens before all the tournaments. Half the team quits, because:
a) They don't like the coach
b) They don't like the teammates
c) They don't like the role they are given
d) They don't like to practice too hard.
e) They prefer to chill on the beach during the summer
IMO Dragic isn't the type to quit.
Hooray! Games are underway!
so Sho to Greece?
Yes Rasho confirmed, he still has to pass the medical to make it official. It's 1+1 year.
Makris is the best greek C of all time.
They beat China(without Yao) with single digit.
they aus for the trophy
lol
yup, they played pretty crappy at this tournament...
From now on he wishes to be addressed by his real name - Makris.
Yes, Makris has joined Olympiakos.
