He had to take four free throws!
Yeah!! I think they are giving him this chance... 1/2 again!
18 points

Uaaaaaaaaaaa
Yes and during the foul when Smodis lost balance because of the Pietrus foul, Turiaf moved towards Smodis and lowered his shoulder into him! That IMO was the real T there.
BALLS!
Icing on the cake!
Redemption!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And may I just say: Take that Turiaf!
Yea, I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!
And Velik- I watched and Slovenia won.
I'm not unlucky!
Well we got what we went for in this EC - Qualification tournament for Beijing. But I'm still mad about the Greece game, we could have gotten so much more.
That's it! We win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoosh!!!!!!!!!!
The last part of the tournament was rough, but I bet you lots of people didn't even expect to see us in round two, much less this far.
My week is made up for.
Congrats Slovenia- especially to Sho!
Props to Tony for a game extremely well played. Bring all those moves back to the Spurs.
Quite a two weeks-- it has been enjoyable and heartwrenching. This team has made me so proud- of course, especially Rasho. I know that Slovenia came in 7th so it won't happen, but he deserves to be on the all-tournament team. I truly wish that every Rasho hater on this board could have seen him play in this tournament. It is hard becasue they were so close to the semi-finals, but they held on and got this last spot for next summer.
Congrats to all the Slovenians fans-- the best basketball fans in the world!
I'm so glad I watched the game!
BTW, it was Farchaud (sp?) who "hit" Smodis in the face after Pietrus made a flagrant.
I just finished re- reading the thread- wanted to relive the whole game.
I missed these post in the heat of the game, but they are my favorites.
SLO was like 2/14 from 3 pointers and now they have hit 5 of 6 (Rasho was the one miss)
There are not words to express how absolutely delighted that makes me.
Wow- what a tournament!
Wow, last quarter was 37:17, I wonder how many points Lakovic scored in the 4th.
Hoppefully we can keep the same team, just have a healthy Capin, and add Nachbar. I would also add Sani, but it could be risky to team chemistry...
Yeah it's me, i didn't watch it and we won.And Velik- I watched and Slovenia won.
I'm not unlucky!
Can somebody please post a link to the torrent for todays game when it becomes available, thanks...
Congrats Slovenia. I'm glad you guys knocked off France. Parker needed the rest next summer.
I have a feeling Rasho will play for the NT whenever they need him. I don't buy this earlier NT retirement talk.
Good job Slovenia, at least they didn't choke today.
Rasho said when this four year cycle began that if the players of his "age" could not get the team to all these places, that it was time to step aside and let the younger guys play. It wasn't like an at ude that he would not spend his time on it but more that they had had their chance to accomplish these goals and others should step in if they could not. First was to get to Eurobasket 2005 and qualify for Worlds- then to Worlds 2006 and get past the qualifying round- then to Eurobasket 2007 and at least get to the pre-Olympic qualifier- and next summer to the Olympics. 3 down- 1 to go.
SLovenia drained seven three-pointers during a 24-6 run to start the fourth quarter in knocking off France 88-74 to clinch seventh place at the 2007 EuroBasket as well as a berth in next summer's pre-Olympic tournament.
Jaka Lakovic hit three long bombs in the big stretch on his way to 26 points, six rebounds and seven assists.
Uros Slokar struck twice from long distance and converted a three-pointer in the spurt as part of his 13-point showing and Radoslav Nesterovic added 19 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots...

Agreed.
In the end i am proud of them for fighting with heart and passion unlike some of the old teams in past years.
They overachieved considering what problems they had with people not playing and Capin getting injured. (Jaka must be physically drained....)
I am also very excited for the future.
In a few years a core of Dragic, Klobucar, Vidmar, Slokar, Lorbek.... they should be good with some other talent around them.
Dragic, Klobucar and Vidmar also have possible NBA potential. (especially Dragic)
