Quarterfinals, Spain vs. Serbia

[Richey666]

What is Teodosic, a saint or something? Not that much judging by last brawl and grabbing opponents balls. Guns are on the way, maybe?
Arenas was much better basketball player before injury though.

This 20-second dribbling until jacking up crazy three from top of the key, at 8 meters with defender's hand in face...typical Arenas copy, compare the videos.

But hey, he won the game, so respect.

Arenas is such an asshole... Don't compare Teodosic to him...

Oh man! you really have something against Spain.

So, Greece´s Euro gold 2005 worths less than the Americas´champion?

A Eurobasket can be compared to any other continental competition?

Not a Spanish fan here, but the tribute is deserved.

And again, in the last 10 years just in, 2000, 2002 and 2005 Spain did not get a medal... Just in 2000 and 2002 Spain did not play de semis... That is some achievement....

It's just happen that 2010,2002,2004,2000 to be world tournaments and not Europeans.It's the only chance we have to compare teams from all over the world.
As you noticed i did not even include Greece in the top3 of the decade, so i am not biased against or for some team.
It just happens that Argentinians are every year for the last 10 years in the semi.
In your opinion what should a Latin American team do in order to be number 1?Play at the Euro-basket???

Well, I don't agree, and I watched earlier Teodosic interview about that last attack. Ivkovic wanted to use all the time, and Ivkovic wanted from Teodosic to finish, the point was to create a miss mach, we succeeded in 2nd attempt, and then it was on Teodosic either to shot or penetrate. The most PG would chose penetration, he chosen shot, and a great one.

Ivkovic wanted a long three pointer. Watch the time out again. Long three pointer as late as possible after a pick n roll.

Teodosic did his best Gilbert Arenas impersonation. Pretty good, but not perfect.

Congratulations to Serbia! Bring on Turkey! May the best team wins!

[Partizan&Beer]

Told you so.

believe it or not, that's what Ivkovic wanted.

I don't say Ivkovic wasn't happy, I just say it wasn't certainly planed that he take a shot from that distance, and you would agree it was not a step behind 3pt line, it was 8-8.5m.

Peodosic

He said hi to Fotspitis.

[Earendil]

Lol why would he want to be like some NBA players?? We have plenty of our own legends he can look up to.

[fastbreak]

used all 24sec to eventually shot from 8m

believe it or not, that's what Ivkovic wanted.

No, Teodosic did Sale Djordjevic impression.

There was a all kind a winning shots, by different players, but for us Serbs, the one and only is Djordjevic.

The man scored decisive triples in EL final for Partizan and for Yugoslavia against our arch rival Croatia.

I agree that if Teodosic missed that shot most of Serbians would be angry because he used all 24sec to eventually shot from 8m, with 1/7 3pts before in the game, but he took shot and scored, and that is what matters. He has a bad sides, a lot of good sides, but he is a born winner.

[Billy Bounce]

I wonder what would happen if Teodosic missed that triple : Serbs got half of the team with 4 fouls and could hardly handle OT.

Damn, it's so easy to switch from the most hated player to the most loved one

Kubos to Spaniards as well. This game signals the end of an era for the Spanish bb. For me they were the best bb team in the world for the last 5 years.

Pau will probably be in 2012 and maybe next year or in 2014, i don't give up on it because the WC will be played in Spain, otherwise i'd bet that 2012 would be his last dance. So this isn't the end of anything yet.
