We won against Russia,Greece and France,they had beaten us last year in European Championship.Now it's time to beat Slovenia,if we beat them there won't be any team that we lost last year. Turkey will won +5 imo.

 

[ecay2]

Turkey for +10 at least.

You have a very "static" idea about "teams"
Sorry to say but what you are saying is meaningless.

Traditionally, Slovenians disdain Turkish NT and basketball in general. I don't know why, no bother anyway, just an observation. Mainly for that reason, a win would be even sweeter, like it was in 2006 WC.

If Tunceri plays, we should exhibit our regular game and given the current wind, win against any Euro team at the moment. if not, well, that's not good.

I'm happy with us getting to top8. The pressure is on Turkey, Slovenia has nothing to lose, and all to gain. We should play relaxed, like a team that we were till so far... I'll be happy if we continue playing like this, we could be close to a victory, but still, Turkey is a clear favourite in this one...

 

[KeyzerSoze2]

I think either Turkey and Slovenia should have played against different teams. It'll be sad to lose one of these teams in the quarter final.

I think the game will be close, neither Turkey nor Slovenia can't control the game for long minutes. I'm waiting for the audience in this match, I wonder how many Slovenians will be there. I don't see any favourite for this game, but my heart goes on Turkey of course

Good luck Slovenian fans, as well

 

[Franz2]

Turkey +5

It's not meaningless.This is an interesting out-game statistic.Then as your idea,last year's matches between two teams and who won how many times,who lost how many statistic is meaningless too.

Definitely a good game, a lot of quality on both sides...but I hope +1 for Slovenia with Lakovič giving the winning 3 pointer at the buzzer!

Or even better Lakovič getting block on that attempt by Omer Aşık

Slovenians 3 pts throws are such as roasted chickpeas we should not let to those.

 

[stane2]

I think Slovenia is playing better basketball ATM. I am not scared of turkish NT, I'm scared of referees who will cleary be on the turkish side. I'm positive.

I hope for revenge!

Like someone before said. I also think it's sad these two teams allready face each other. They are both excellent teams, IMHO Slovenia and Turkey play the best basketball on this cup at the moment.

Good luck and let the better team win!

I don't think it translates well into English. But a good one . they are so comfortable in perimeter shots.

 

[kyosphere2]

Turkish defense and Slovenian offense will be decisive in this one...I see a very intense game here...40 minutes of heart attack for the fans, battle to watch for neutrals

 

[UMUT_FB_LAL2]

By far the best opponent so far in for Turkey, but we're still the favourites
