After tonights performance by Lakovic, arguing above is beyond silly!
And don't be to worked up about tonight. Everybody is trying to hide as much as they can.
Zdovc has hidden almost the entire starting five. Mind games are already in full effect.
The game is in Novo Mesto... and considering Smoki can't play that means even more minutes for Klobucar to satisfy local fans. He will get cut in the end or just warm the bench anyways.
I hope Zdovc plays his best players and wins the game in the end even though it is just a preparation game.
Um.... I only watched the last 3 minutes of the halftime.
He played that bad or what?
Jaka was the best Russian player.....by far!
You can say that Russians have finally found themselves a point guard.

I just pray Beno will be okay. He tends to get injured somehow... :S
Dragic can't play 40 minutes a game...
I can't believe how much Erazem Lorbek progressed offensively. Great to have a low post go to guy!
Smodiš is out for two weeks. I could sound pesimiscitic, however I doubt he will attend EC (again). Vujačič is also very questionable.
If Smodiš and Vujačič really won't be able to play, I am sure Beno will find some injury - hence Slovenian team could find itsef in Poland without Smodiš, Vujačič and Beno.
ing pathetic!!! Why the heck is Klobučar in the game?!! And where the is Nachbar??
I miss Becirovic!!
Relax dude, Klobucar is in the game because he showed much more then D. Lorbek and Lakovič. These two should do push ups all night long. As for Nachbar...deceiving and hiding is the name of the game at the moment.ing pathetic!!! Why the heck is Klobučar in the game?!! And where the is Nachbar??

Zdovc can't coach. Why the does he not take a timeout when your team is losing by 3 points 17 seconds before the end. He also makes too much rotations with the team. A guy gets hot and he subs utes him. If there will be no Vujacic and Smodis we can just tank this Eurocup.
Well that was just bad.
E. Lorbek the only one to show up. Dragic and Jagodnik also solid. The rest was just trash.
I can't understand his rotations at all... No sence in them.
After watching these 4 games, Zdovc should cut Vidmar, S. Udrih and Brezec.
Primoz is completely useles. He is slow like the time between two paychecks (and yes I know that that will never happen).
Jagodnik deserves to travel with the team.
D. Lorbek should get slapped by his older brother to wake him up. Slovenian team was outscored from behind the arc in all 4 preparation matches. And Slovenian team has difficulties to open up the paint, because of inadequate 3 point shooting.
It looks like injuries will have a big part in assembling this team and its goals.
Basically the key for us are Udrih, Vujacic and Smodis. All 3 decent shooters if fortune is right...
If we have them we don't need to worry about Brezec, S. Udrih, Klobucar and hopefully also Lakovic from stepping on the floor. Vidmar is a sure cut as it seems.
I hope Erazem will go to the NBA some day... It would be awsome to root for him. If he could bulk up a little he has the skill to play a starting bigman for many teams. Yes he is slow... but so are many other succesful NBA players.
I must agree with that, but if we cut Vidmar and Brezec we are ed up.
Now that Smodis is injured we need another big. Slokar, E.Lorbek and Golemac are not enough.
ing Rasho... he should play and we would be a sure medal contender :S
Who do you play next? We played Russia also 67-78.
Croatia twice.
Brezec has been the most disappointing so far. Hopefully he's just holding back, because he still needs to pass the physical before signing with philly.
Here is a good article about our team: http://www.eurobasket2009.org/en/coi...leMode_on.html
To cheer up the Slovenian fans who are hoping for a medal.........Diamantidis heard that Pau might miss Eurobasket and he said he is "going to be ready for Eurobasket".
Our X factor, key man and our weak point at the same time.... Mr. Zdovc.
We have so many good players that even a minor injury or 2 shouldnt affect us too much. (especially if they are not in the same position) Too bad we don't have Sani to have a reliable 2.
Yea. Now that Vujacic is injured our SG position is really weak. With just Klobučar and D.Lorbek. They also both suck. I hoped that at least Lorbek could ply solid 10 minutes a game, but so far I think that even Klobučar plays better than him. I also thought that Lakovič will play a little bit on the SG position, cause Beno and Goran should run the point, but Jaka also sucks. We just need Vujacic back.
I think that if Sasha doesn't get better, Beno will get some burn at SG spot, leaving the PG duties to Dragic. We will also see Lakovic at SG, but so far Zdovc never had Dragic, Beno and Jaka at his disposal at the same time.
And a good news of today is that it looks like Vujacic will be able to play (unofficial, so people hold your horses). Beno will also be completely ready by Friday.
Only real concern at the moment is Smodiš. Even if do come back, his shape wont be that great.
And one more thing, we have the best coaching staff ever. I don't mean just Zdovc, whole gang around him was carefully selected. For the first time NT coaching staff is assembled out of the specialists for different aspects of the game. I'm confident.

We should just call everything off right now and save money by not going to Poland.
