I agree with most things except what is in bold. Talent wise only Spain and France compete with Turkey. Lietuva comes close. Serbs have more chemistry and maturity as a team. Also better coaching. That is their largest advantage. On paper Turks should beat them like the French did and Lietuva did. On paper....

Mike fratello said it best : I had never seen sheet of paper playing on the court :) Serbia character what will win this game.Sorry turkey
 
Though I am hoping, I think the tournament will end for us tonight against Germany.

If not, I believe SER-TUR game will be very competitive, and the final 3 min will determine who wins.

If we lose to Germany and even Serbia beats Spain, a win against Serbia is enough for us to qualify if Lithuania beats Germany...

Offtopic DND is that you?
 
Im not feeling any vibe for revenge. Maybe the players do. I doubt thats going to be a factor.
 
I am looking into my crystal ball and I see a big blow
wait for it
for Turkey
 
I really like Turkey and think that they can win,but Serbia has more chances to do that.Both teams will be fighting for survival and serbians will have more motivation,because of last years semi finals.
 
let be honest..turkish team can't count on homecourt advantage and ref's help .serbia is a better team and a clear favourite
this gonna be a knock out match so it is difficult to expect a suprise ,but everything can happen...i wouldn't beat on it but i do believe serbs have good chances
 
This is a weird match difficult to predict.

Serbia, a favorite even for the final for many, comes from 3 losses that uncovered many weaknesses and Turkey comes from 2 losses with non-convincing appearances.Taking in account that the game is win-or-go it complicates things more.

Both teams could win this game, according to the popular, on paper. This means that if the players of any of the teams reach the performance they had on the best period of their career, or close, any team could win. How possible is that for many of them? Teodosic can do it. And Illyasova. Figuring how many of each team are possible of having such a performance gives a better "on paper" estimation of who will win. Moreover we must take in account the pressure and high stakes last minute plays.

My money goes on Serbia, but not much.

50-50 chances for each team.
I hope that Greece will play in QFs with the winner of that game.

you have to beat Russia first to do that, I guess because winner of this game will be 4th most likely (not likely but if Turkey wins, Liths need to win over Germany) therefore I am guessing you will face Serbia or Germany
 
Teodosic will show to our Pg's how a Pg must be like... We have some chance because Serbian defence is terrible while we are good at defence.Yes,they are stronger than us and they will do everything to win for revenge of the last year... Nenad Krstic is good offensive player but has defensive problems.He has many problem to defend pick-roll but don't worry Sebs, we have not PG who can play pick-roll:) I want to lose because If we win, we will have a chance for olympic eleminations and that means Hedo,Kerem Tunçeri and some losing time basketball players will be with our team:mad:

show a little respect.
ok, i know that they are not doing well in this championship
but they are the guys who brought us up here during the last
ten years.
 
In my mind things go like this? If todays Serbia performance was intentional (Ivkovic resting players others not bothering so much) and we saved energy for Turkey then i think we will win if not Turkey is clear favourite. I think its option one since Krstic didnt played much today and Duda was kinda casual whole time about result. Anyway good luck to both teams
