Originally posted by Buducnost PGThe EC 09 could be realy interesting and very open. I am sure that a few players by Spain will take a rest or retire. It could easily happen that Jimenez, P. Gasol, Navarro, Garbajosa and Calderon will not play in Poland 09. The EC 2011 is in your home country. So if you want go reach a good result there, you must start to form a new team next year. What about Saras, Siskauskas and Kaukenas? Will they also play after this year for the NT?
Garbajosa and Jimenez are the candidates to retire from NT, but Jimenez could play 2 years more.....
P.Gasol, perhaps for the next years only plays the big tournaments, (worldchamps and olympics)
Navarro, I think he would leave the NT cause this year he is a rotation player and that situation.....

Originally posted by kestasif Kleiza's fall on Gasol's fake in the fourth quarter would not be called second unsportsmanlike (disquallification) but Marc Gasol's huge intentional slash from behind on Javtokas (I think) would have been called that and Lithuania would have won by 1 because of that you'd still say better team won? so which team is better in the sport of basketball then, the one that gets a couple of 50:50 calls in its favour?

Congrats to Spain.
I'm really disappointed, but.. it is like it is
Now only hope for our usual bronze left. So let it be. Let's kick Argentina one more time!
And, btw, argument, that fouls 36-22, - sucks
We should have played better, and that's it!

Let's just get our bronze medals against Argentina (DIFFICULT), let's see the Spanish kicked by the Americans (EASY... the first time I won't be rooting for an upset here against the Star Spangled Banner), and I'll be glad after the this Olympic tourney. Then I guess everybody gets what they deserve, with no upsets and real surprises. Spain without CalderĆ³n and with bad-form Navarro were a step below their level, but let's admit, they were able to turn on that extra gear on defence which killed us, and we were exhausted.
(OK, Lithuania vs. Argentina is 50/50, both could deserve bronze).Last edited by Marius123; 08-22-2008, 09:29 PM.

Originally posted by juncearits very easy to play the victim role... but the truth is that the referees were ok, and a winner team doesnt care about the referees, if you complain about the refs that only means that you werent good enough, is human to put the blame of our faults or of our weaknesses on others, its understandable, but do you think that if you have the best teame are you gonna let the refs play your game? we are owners of our fates, anything else its bullshit

Another thing is if teams are almost the same strenght refs can decide game (yesterday they werent the factor). Remember 1995 europe final, 2002 wordchamp final when they were helping yugoslavia :-). I will say one thing more: yesterday my head was really hot after the game, so I wrote some bullshit. Dont take it seriously :-)Last edited by pacosas; 08-23-2008, 03:02 PM.

Sometimes it's a real pleasure to watch Spanish team defense, as it was against Greece in '06. Lith players had no chance but to pass the ball right onto Spanish players' laps on some occasions.
Reyes is a superb sub. He's very consistent and reliable.
Upon watching 3 games (vs CHN, USA, LTU), I begin to think offensive rebounding has quite a big part in Spain's game strategy. The only time they could not effectively realize this was against the USA, and we know what happened.
I honestly don't know if we are influenced by our prejudices, but Spanish players are really annoying when they get their faking fouls mode on. Takes a lot of respect away.
Lithuania played a great game. Their fall in the 4th Q was somehow inevitable and only luck could save them. Too bad they didn't have much.5 out 6 scientists say Russian roulette is safe.

Damn, i remember was watching this game with a bunch of friends while on a "Eurotrip", in some bar in a central - pedestrian street of Sarajevo. Got utterly pissed at everything after the loss, was already rather drunk, and then drank even more and at the end of it all got lost for a few hours wondering some streets on the hills with bullet holes in the walls. Basketball is bad for one's health...
