Who's talking about a medal? I meant our chances of getting out of the preliminary groups.
And don't worry about us not beating Macedonia by >40 pts. The'ye like a brother nation to us, so we gotta show we're good hosts.
We're meeting Greece in Maribor in a couple of weeks time, you can talk your smack then. If everything goes well, I'll be at that game too. Do you want me to give kisses to Vaginis on your behalf?
You can tell Vasili that KBP says hi. He reads the forum often so he knows anyway.
Supposedly it is 76ers.
Again very sloppy defense, way too much open shots allowed.
LOL, Kobayagi you really should try to ask V-Spam if he knows this forum and KBP.![]()
When and where are our next games... I will surely go to 1 or 2...
Hvala!
I'll probably go to tivoli against Russia and I will surely go to Tabor against Greece. Cant wait!
Picture this
Me: Hey, Vasili, KBP says Hi.
V-Span: Who?
Me: You know...Kill Bill Pana, your biggest fan.
V-Span: Kill Bill What?
Me: You know..that guy from Clutchfans and Spurstalk and all other basketball message boards.
V-Span: You mean the fake Greek guy that's solely responsible for the fact I get booed everytime I'm in the States? You know his real name? My lawyer wants to have a word with him.
A couple of my opinions after two games against Macedonia:
-Slokar deserves more minutes
-Klobucar deserves less minutes (or none)
-D. Lorbek is on the team? Really? (yeah, I know he's supposed to be a defensive specialist but still)
-We have no small forwards. Boki sucked in the 1st game and didn't play in the 2nd. His sub is a 35-year old veteran that shouldn't be on the team in the first place.
Beno >>> Lakovic (Didn't want to believe that but it's true and I hate to admit it). Beno is in great shape, he looks lean and rested.
I'm mad I didn't get to see Sasha play yet, hopefully he'll be OK for our next game.
I really had to take this photo. This jersey is a rarity and it's going to be a real collector's item.Costs 50 euros. Any Lakers fans here that want it?

Bull . Zisis and Spanoulis are two nicest pro athletes around. They will never bad mouth their fans.
Beno looks good. Hope for once he makes it through a whole summer with the NT.
The 76ers have reached an agreement in principle to sign veteran center Primoz Brezec, according to multiple sources.
The deal is supposedly for one year at the minimum for a player with seven seasons of service in the NBA.
The 7-1 Brezec, 29, is expected to come to Philadelphia sometime next week. He is currently playing with the Slovenian National Team.
Brezec spent last season in Italy after logging time with the Indiana Pacers, the Charlotte Bobcats, the Detroit Pistons and the Toronto Raptors.

@Kobayagi
- Slokar - agree
- Klobučar is potential - he will be cut, but his minutes are investment for future
- D. Lorber - remember 3 years ago, he was able to play 3, and he wasn't bad
- 3 is our weakest position for years now (I remember times when we have problems with 4-5). Boki and Jagoda are only legit 3s avaliable. If one of them get injury Vujačič or D. Lorbek will be moved to 3.
- Beno is always superstar in pre-season/preparation games - he still has to show what he can do when it matters.
@ploto: great. Brezec will be 2nd Slovenian to play (sign) for 76ers
Good news about Beno I guess. But as you guys said, he has to show it when it matters. And he is not too known for that! :P
The 76ers fans are very happy!![]()
Slovenia really sucked this 2 games. I know it are just friendly games and that even players like Klobučar need to play around 20+ minutes, and Sasha did not play 2 games, Beno, Goran and Nachbar 1, but still it sucks to win Macedonia by just 5 points. Our team should at least defeat them by 10.
I'm really disappointed with Jaka Lakovič, D.Lorbek, Samo Udrih. Even Nachbar was pretty bad.
I'm also disappointed with Zdovc and his roster moves. Slokar looks very good, but he still playes just 15 minutes, not to mention the first game when he was out there for just 8 minutes and scored Slo. game high 13 points. But it's ok so far, cause we all know Zdovc needs to experiment a little bit with the team lineups.
Then I'm pretty happy with Golemac, who I thought sucks. He should not shoot 3 pointers, but overall he's good.
Jagodnik is a disaster. Even I could play better that him, but we really do not have a reserve SF, so I gues he'll stay with the team. I just hope he'll not play for 20 minutes a game.Then we're screwed.
Klobučar is one of those who we all think will leave the team, but the guy has played better than S.Udrih and D.Lorbek.
Brezec is solid so far. But lets all hope he won't start ing around, about him not starting and that he can't get hot if he doesn't play from the start.
Lakovič should not start, he can't hit !!
The team also plays alot outside the paint. It looks like every shot is a jumshot. Even Brezec is shooting 3 pointers. So I'd like that we play a little bit more inside the paint.
The guys that will leave the roster will probably be Vidmar, Klobučar and S.Udrih. If Klobučar plays good in the next games and D.Lorbek will still suck, he should be the one who'll have to go away.
The lineup in my opinion should be:
C - E.Lorbek...Brezec
F - Smodiš...Slokar...Golemac
F - Nachbar...Jagodnik/Golemac
G - Vujačič...Dragič...Klobučar
G - Udrih...Lakovič
I was wishing the team well from Vegas this past weekend. I look forward to more updates.![]()
I am glad to hear that Beno is doing well.
Awesome also about Brezec being back in the NBA.

Once again KBP was proven right.
I couldn't care less if he hits or not. The thing that troubles me with him, is that he can't get the other guys hot. He's a point guard, he should call plays, dish the assists etc...he's not doing any of those things.
I don't know the stats from the one game Beno played, but I'm pretty sure he had a double-double.
