After what I have seen from Iceland, it is better if you take serious these guys. They like to play contact basketball and never abstain from putting effort on floor. Serbia is such a quality team and knows their job but at least I don't expect a blow out, Serbs can rest few of their players according to goings-on.
 
I think Serbia has enough quality edge to win this one in case they won't take them seriously Iceland could stay in the game for a while.
 
I admit I was going to pick Iceland to make myself look dumb. ;) Want to see Milutonivic get some run to see if he is a future NBA guy.

He He, it's Milutinov, guy doesn't have 'ic' in last name.
 
It's time to give our big men some practice. We're going to need them against Turks. We won't get too far playing just small ball. I really hope to see a lot balls coming down to low post.
 
Raduljica needs to be our 3rd center until he gets his head straight. Making waaaay too many turnovers. Milutinov should get minutes, even though he is bad for this level.
 
ISL hanging tough so far even though they seem to be playing with 5 undersized players. :eek:
 
Serbia is going to shatter the turnover record. So many unexpected turnovers.

Raduljica and Milosavljevic in general. The team looks much more focused though. We are also using deep rotation, which is fine. It's all about tomorrow's game anyway.
 
What a poor qtr by Serbia, almost cost me my bet, especially when Teo with Milosavljevic decided to play with my nerves in last seconds of the qtr. Luckily Icelnd didn't take advantage

What bet? You bet on the halftime score?
 
Awful game for Serbia in first half, way too many turnovers and slow ball movement are the most obvious problems. Raduljica is unspeakably bad, I don't know why Đorđević isn't giving Milutinov a chance, he can't be as bad as Raduljica (I think nobody can).

It's all head with Raduljica. When he clicks he will be again very strong for us, the problem he seems to be off ever since the prep period. He hesitates to use his post moves and tries to move the ball causing turnovers. I mean how fucking hard it is to post a midget from Iceland you got 20cm nad 30kgs on? Just bad decision making.

Teo is playing very well though, Nedovic as well. Kuzmic is a clear cut No.1 now for us until Lumberjack gets his shit straight. It will be an interesting dynamic for the club season as well, both of them being in the same club :D
 
I know it's in his head, and that's what bothers me the most, it looks like he isn't interested in game at all. Iceland has way to many offensive rebounds, but that's not entirely his fault. I could understand if he was physically/technically inferior, like vs. Gasol, but he should dominate the game against the team with no centers.
 
We took care of business, and ended up the way we wanted. In general 15 TOs were in the first half, and we adjusted and had only 5-6 more in the second. That is fine. We stuck to the game plan on the offense and basically crushed it. Second half was excellent on defense, and even Raduljica started moving around and playing. To me the best games were by Nedovic, Kalinic and Kuzmic who had great movement, defense and decisions. Especially glad for Kalinic, who was a bit quiet first two games, now he had a coming out party. We need him to contribute like this down the line in the tournament. Teo. Bogdan, Markovic had smaller roles but did their job. Kuzmic is making strides and I won't be surprised that in Rio we might not bring Raduljica if Milutinov steps up in Oly. Bobi, Kuzmic and Milutinov would be the rotation then.

32 assists. Nice job SRB.

I think we have around 70 assists in 3 games, that is great. Helps a lot when you have a lot of player who create and facilitate (Teo, Bjelica, Markovic, Bogdanovic, Nedovic even Kalinic is a good passer).
 
Much better performance in second half. Nedović and Kalinić were excellent, everyone else very good, i'm especially happy with Milosavlević's and Simonović's performance, we'll need them in games to come. Fun fact: Heavily undersized Iceland had 13 offensive rebounds, Serbia only 5! :D

Edit: Another fun fact, Iceland scored 16 points in each of four quarters.
