Slovenia vs USA

[angel_luv]

I will take a shot for every turn over Beno has tonight. I hope I'm still awake for the second half.

The only whine you'll have is in a few hours when will be required to sport your Slovenia sig.

just a few minutes left

[MannyIsGod]

how about adding "USA(me)/Slovenia(you) is the greatest nation on the world!" and have both up until start of NBA season (1st of November)?

That'll work!

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

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 bull 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"




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

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 (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

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

Brezec is a liability on defense, and Rasho was playing very good. But that really is BS, to surender even before the game, and say it in public. Though maybe it was just tactics...
