the Semifinals

[Shawshank2]

I would bet quite the opposite. Actually, I would even dare to say that with Jokic Serbia is heavily favored.

im not talking about basketball tallent,im talking what is happening now in serbians players heads after semifinal.

Lithuania is used to be bronze medal experts im saying you serbian players mindset is not made for bronze game. For them is gold or nothing in their heads.


Remember how they looked in last bronze games 2010 and 2015 where they had devastating very close semifinal loses.

They where blown out of the both games for bronze.


Maybe im wrong because its olympic medal but i would bet on Germany to win it.

From your keyboard to God's ears

I rooted for Serbia like crazy yesterday evening even though a Serbian win meant "supposedly" a harder bronze game against the US. But it would also mean a chance to prove once again we can compete with the Americans like we did in the friendly in London. Tomorrow morning will probably be a battle of nerves. An olympic medal is still an incredible achievement so they will fight hard for it, but both teams are psychologically devastated from yesterday's result.

I dont think that it will effect them very much. They are too old to be affected by a loss. Both teams will try to win and play their best game and I am pretty sure that the Serbs will make it this time.

my country have so manny battles with Yugoslavia/Serbian players we have some feeling of each other mindsets

I would be suprised seeing Serbia 100% locked in for bronze game. I expect negative emotions from serbs in bronze game and maybe even some arguments on their own bench.


When for Germans i believe bronze medal would be consider good results in players heads so they gonna play as hard as they can.

I would be with you if there was no medal to win but Serbia will make bronze medal clear. I even think that the German side is emotionally more affected by the loss than Serbia.

The semifinal game against Serbia vs USA was the great robbery. After I re watched it again.I saw Jokic being fouled twice when he scored teh ball, he didn't get and one call. Bogdanovic didn't get two and ones, he was also fouled twice on his shot attempts which weren't called by the refs. Milutinov didn't get and one one time and Dobric was clearly fouled by Embiid during his drive to the basket, he slapped him across the hand, by the way Embiid should have fouled out of the game 5 minutes into the last quarter. Officially he had 3 personal fouls at the end of the game, he omitted three more, all of them during the shooting attempts of his opponents.Serbia have lost by 4 points in the game, if the refs have only made those calls correctly, game would have been at least tied at the end of the regulation. They were all obvious fouls by the American players. Plus travelling by Embiid, Durant stepping on the side line, Lebron double dribbling etc. On the other end USA players were benefactors of many bogus calls. Basically 11 NBA all stars needed all kind of help from the refs to beat the Serbian team. They wanted USA vs France match up even before the tournament had began.

The US-team hardly defended and lost control at the end of the third quarter. If Dobric had made the open three shot it could have been interesting but its how it is.

I repeat again all those none made calls that I have mentioned have accumulated in the game and have helped USA team to win the game at the end. It doesn't matter if the Serbian players missed some open shots. Serbia should have had additional eleven free throws in the game, the game which USA have won by 4 points, do the math. If you carefully re watch the game again you would notice all those missed calls which were obvious, refs have seen them for sure.Also none foul calls, when Durant was stepping on the side line and after that he would score the ball. Embiid travelling during the dunk and Pesic getting technical foul for the complaint were all situations in the crucial period of the game. Also Embiid should have fouled out before he traveled and dunked that ball. Many none Serbian fans, referring experts,coaches etc. have the similar opinions about that game. Its sad when USA team full of all stars need that kind of help from the amateurish refs to advance. France as well should have been eliminated in the group phase of the competition.
