"7th -8th place is realistic
12th place is bullshit and nonsence, you can't put any team with Larkin in charge that low. This is just about logic, doesn't have anything with biased national pride."

You didn't write that?

I consider you for inteligent guy, so what is this:confused:

Of course I wrote that because this is power ranking thread and guy from Greece put Turkey on 12th place. it's power ranking not prediction who will pass group and what will happen in play off dude

Should I draw?:D

You quoted R1ou, who said that you will be underdog against teams from group B. He was not talking about power ranking but real draw.

so I’d put them around 10-12th in the rankings

Though I think he is proved troll here, R1ou isn't idiot to mix power ranking with the final standing

If there is some prediction thread I will write there my prediction. Then and only then we could take into consideration possible scenario that Turkey will match with the teams with higher ranking and possible loss

But don't tell me that some team who will qualify to QF just because easier schedule in groups C and D is better just because they passed through some hole opened by accident
 
Do you know how many matches against teams from Europe has Slovenia lost, official or friendly, when Luka has played?

How nifty are you with this “from Europe” so we have to overlook his 3/13 from 3 bricking show in the bronze medal match to Australia : p?

Ok, against euro teams, the last 3:
1 easy win
1 barely win
1 loss
 
One of the biggest mystery in basketball is, why one of the best players in the world is not playing in Nba?

Mistery is which player:confused:

Llull, Mirotic, Chacho, Tavares, Teo, Larkin, Micic, Pangos, Higgins, ...

Or from the past Djordjevic, Bodiroga, Diamantidis, Spa, Saras...

Great that Cancar is playing there:D

It looks to me that some Turkish fans are putting Larkin beside Jokic, Giannis and Luka. ;)
 
One possibility of course is that Luka partying too much and plays totally out of shape.

He is always out of shape and still one of the best hoopers in the world. I think that's his secret power :p

It's nice to see 2 fat white Europeans destroying American ninjas. ;)

In a way it's a secret power, Luka slows game down and takes away physical advantage of those athletic freaks.
 
Wait until he gets in 30s:D

If he keeps his weight reasonably in check, he can play till 40. He will handle the ball less and post people more, but he really doesn't need a lot of athleticism for what he does.

It's just people here taking it personally for no reason, my claim that Turkey is somewhere around 10-12th is totally logical. Would like someone to remind me when was the last time Turkey beat a team around their level since I literally can't remember.

Logic apparently is that just Larkin alone is good enough for QF.
 
The past tells nothing about the future. Its a solid team with 4 NBA players and 3 serious Euroleague players with a very good Guard. The team has weaknesses and Lithuania as well as Germany can indeed be the last station for the team but saying LTU or Germany is favored is nonsense.

10-12 was realistic in past years and proved by results.

After all you opinion is your opinion, you could say 20-24 also. It's your right

But saying that roster with added Larkin(by far the best EL player) is equal as used to be is nonsence.

If we move non-Slovenians from your roster you are between 20 and 24 place. You wouldn't see tournaments for years.

In fact moving Doncic to Serbia could be enough, Cancar,Tobey and coach could stay:D

You constantly tend to overrate an average roster, trying to predict based on your personal opinion and feelings the future results. If someone is way off the reality that's surely not me.
