Turkey vs. Serbia game thread

[QUOTE=ZenMaster]The refs affected this one, I don't like it.[/QUOTE]
its a ****ing gift to the home crowd, every time Serbia would take the lead the refs would get the turks back into the game

lol Serbia couldnt defend late in the 4th quarter.

And btw Asik got hit in the eye , he wasnt acting

All serbia had to do is defend. 8point lead with 3 minutes remaining should be game over. If they knew how to defend. nonetheless great game by the 2teams.

true, the defense was bad especially on the last play but refereeing was disgraceful in most of the second half. 2 times the turkish players slapped the serbians and no technical

shouldve never been close anyway, gifted game.
the only other medal the turks ever won in basketball was when the came second (behind Serbia) in 2001 eurobasket and guess what, it was played in Turkey

hope they get mauled by the USA

Yeah he got hit in the eye, but he was ACTING badly.

That touch foul on Krstic was crap, especially when they didn't call a harder hit down at the other end on the next play. Serbia could have been up by 2 instead of 1 there at the end.

Anyone have a link to good video highlights from this game? I missed the game and I'm having trouble finding any.

The refereeing was extremely badly. Krstic was fouled out for nothing. They called touch fouls on the Serbs and no technicals went on the Turks even though one guy (didn't really see who) pushed Teodosic initiating a fight. Serbia is the more quality team from these two but it's just where home court happens.

I don't get some of you guys... Maybe you're from Serbia or something but as an unbiased fan I thought the refs were decent, not great and not terrible. Ilyasova got just as many bad foul-calls as Krstic so it was pretty equal and Turkey had 1 player with 5 fouls, one with 4 and 5 players with 3 fouls so they sure got alot of foulcalls towards them... And don't forget the fact that Turkey were more aggressive, while the serbs relied on their 3-pointshooting, the turkish players played mostly in the paint.

And yeah, the push wasn't nice but it sure as hell wasn't a flagrant. And talking about fights, in my honest opinion Krstic shouldn't even had been allowed to play in WC after the dude threw a freaking chair at the greek..

It will be a nice final tomorrow, I don't care which team wins as long at it's a good game.

Well if you serbs didnt support your dictator then maybe we would still had our Yugoslavia and be dominating European & International basketball like we used to considering we had back then the luxury of picking the best players from entire balkans.... :P

too bad for the finals as Serbia wouldve had a much better shot at the Americans.. the Turks will get demolished

Hehe, just whining... but damn we was dominant back then, just stacking up the team with ridicilous talent from all over the place, like Drazen Petrovic, Toni Kukoc, Dino Radja, Bodiroga, Vlade Divac, Djordjevic, Danilovic and so on... Throughout Yugoslavia's short basketball history in my opinion produced some of the best basketball players ever!

PS: I never complain about officiating, i am used to it after all this time... officiating is probably the toughest job on the floor, no officials can make the right calls thru out the course of even a single game.... might aswell live with it.

slovenia croatia and serbia have very good teams, even montengero have pekovic.. wouldve made a nice squad

in my opinion if yugo team played together in the 90s with divac radja petrovic kukoc djordjevic danilovic all together, wouldve made it interesting for the dream team.. maybe even beat the '96 US team
