28-18 after 1st.
We have to aim 1st or 2nd place. 3rd or 4th place means traveling to Katowice and playing q-finals in less than 24 hours.
Lithuanian offensive rebounds are killing us.
We must stay calm when the inevitable lithuanian baragge of threes comes.
62-39 after 3/4. Lithuania with some zone at the end of the third.
Unbeliveble good game by Slovenia. +23 after 3/4.
Who knows if the score stays this way we might have a Klobucar sighting..
We will see a human victory cigar!!! Klobučar all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lakovič se ti iskreno opravičujem, da sem te pljuval pred prvenstvom! Dobiš pisno...)))
Sadly yes... Referees are not bad overall but Spain obviously has some advantage...![]()
We just destroyed them. Now lets win against Poland and lets hope we'll be at least 2nd in the group.
Slovenia Make It Look Easy
12 September 2009
By Simon Wilkinson
Slovenia cruised to an 81-58 win over Lithuania in Group F of the EuroBasket 2009 Qualifying Round in Lodz.
Jaka Lakovic knocked down six three-pointers as part of a 24-point outburst and Erazem Lorkbek chipped in with 17 to go along with eight rebounds.
The result saw Jure Zdvoc's side improve to 2-1 while the Lithuanians dropped to 0-3 and a place in the last eight looks to be a near-impossible task for them as they have to beat both Spain and Serbia in their remaining games.
Turning point: Jaka Lakovic hit his fifth and sixth three-pointers early in the third quarter to make it 51-28 and put the game well and truly beyond Lithuania's reach.
Hero: Who else but Lakovic. He connected on his first four attempts from beyond the arc and had his game-high 24 points through three quarters of play.
Stats: While Slovenia had the hot hand, Lithuania struggled mightily, hitting just 38 percent of their shots (21 of 58 including six of 22 from three-point range).

Awsome that Slokar is well. We really need him going forward.
At the moment our guys really work like a well oiled machine and we still practically didn't use Smodis.
Poland is beatable and Turkey (also beatable offcourse) will probably not play 100% in the last game.
I cannot remember ever seeing such a destruction of Lithuania before.
Bad news: Smodis is probably lost for this tournament. His recovery is not going well.![]()
CIA Zdovc, why use him when you don't need him. His time will come, I have no doubts.![]()
Yes if don't beat Poland, we'll have trouble getting in. Win over Poland gets us to quarter-finals.
