Literally, the game which will decide the group leader. If Turkey wins this one, 99% finish the group first, if lose, can find themselves down to 4th spot. Roster wise, Serbia is a more quality team but Turkey will play this one to win I guess. Serbia seems lock for winning but let's hope will be a good game.
 
To be honest, not to act modest or anything, I don't see these two teams competing for the same spot or for the same goal. Very different levels. I think we will fight harder than we did against Spain, that is what matters.

Their basketball is close to Turkish basketball. At least, not that high tempo basketball. We will be more concentrated so even if Serbia win (most probably) that won't be with that blow out.
 
:)Congratulation Turkey and to coach Ataman. It is great success of this tournament for
coach Ataman. He analysed all opponents deeply and used his coaching skills both offensively and defensively for this young team.

I can only criticise that Turkey has playing Semih, Dixon, Cedi, Ersan and Sinan around 30 min. very narrow rotation.
Furkan, Melih and Goksenin taking very few minutes. I hope he can find somehow to add Furkan
Korkmaz, Oguz and Barıs to the rotation. Otherwise team will be exhausted at group phases.
For Serbian team, all players knows each other. It will be very interesting game. Both team can win the game.


By the way, If Tanjevich would be coach of the team at this tournament, I am sure we could not
won any game. 
 
Serbia will be well rested with an easy win today. Turks starting to be in danger of that dreaded 4th seed with a loss. Either though with the way France has been playing maybe it will not be so bad afterall.

france is not yet serious. they will be much better in second round
 
Maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I can't see Turkey keepin' this game close vs Serbia. Not expecting blow-out like vs Spain, but IMO Serbia will win this rather comfortabily without some nerve-wracking ending
 
When did Dixon change his name to Mohammed?
I think he was Dixon in preparation period right?
 
Too fast too soon. Hope we'll maintain this preasure till the end.
 
Flawless basketball by Serbia in this quarter. Everybody passes, everybody shoots, everybody defends. They are showing great team chemistry.
 
I wrote in the topics for previous 2 Turkish victories. They risk TOOOO MUCH on defense. Teams that they have beat are extremely soft in the paint and their bigs don't roll and cut enough. Balanced teams will punish that. This looks like playground basketball.

Ataman teams play street basketball...
 
Osman is the only one with a cool head. Guler looks like shit in this game, Ilyasova started with some energy and it looks like he has shut himself off now. Strange approach to an important game...
 
The team is extremely tired because of narrow rotation. Plus, Serbia is the only "team" in this tournament. Everybody knows each other's skills at advance. We should admit they are one step ahead of us in every offensive position. Unfortunately, we will wait Germany to win over Italy.
