Turkey vs. Serbia game thread

[QUOTE=PaPaK]too bad for the finals as Serbia wouldve had a much better shot at the Americans.. the Turks will get demolished[/QUOTE]

Ok, you're getting a bit silly..
Serbia lost to freaking Germany in the groupstage, the same Germany even lost to Angola... It's not like Serbia were unbeatable and were crushing every team before they met Turkey...

Turkey has been great, this far they've crushed Slovenia, France, Cote D'Ivoire, China and have had good wins over Puerto Rico, Greece, Russia and they have yet to lose..

I'm not claiming that Turkey is like top of the top because they're not but you are talking like the serbs are damn much better which they're really not..

[QUOTE=PaPaK]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[/QUOTE]I don't think the refs rigged the game. The Refs have been terrible and inconsistent the whole tourney so this is nothing new.

pretty sure that krstic was suspended when they lost to germany, maybe even teodosic i dont remember. also they demolished the turks 2 teams before the tournament, you know without the home court officiating

also pretty sure the serbs are 5 times more talented and have a better coach, but still inexperienced which showed in the last 5 minutes

Yadi Yadi Yadi... Dude, Turkey won, get over it. And if they'd be 5 times more talented they wouldn't have lost, even how "bad" the ref would be.

Btw, if they're so damn talented, how come they couldn't win against a crappy Germany when Milos and mr chairthrower were suspended? Serbia is great, don't get me wrong and I'm not claiming that Turkey are god's of basketball, I really just watched the game without cheering for anyone and I loved the game, it was great.

And the importance of a pre-torunament game is absolute zero, that's doesn't mean crap.

Serbia > Turkey > Serbia without Teodosic

Teodosic missed a 3pt shot at 4th quarter and then lost his focus on match. Teo is great talent but sometimes when things go wrong, he can't handle the game. Then he tries other -dirty- ways like provoking players in order to win. He failed this time.

k k youa re probably right, im just pissed off. turks werent that bad and serbia did play shit defense on that last play.. this will be good experience for the youngsters

Neutral supporter here and it was blatantly obvious who the refs wanted in the finals. I mean come on. The only times the Turks have beat Serbia is in Turkey. lol...

Funny how the calls started getting lopsided at the end of the game. It's a general trend I've noticed throughout the whole tournament. Serbia and USA getting the rough end of the officiating, both getting hacked on layups and no calls, both getting pushed off the ball and occasionally even getting offensive fouls when they're the ones getting killed by the defensive player.

Very undeserving finalist in Turkey IMO.

What a surprise. Turks go undefeated as the host country. Too bad no amount of ref rigging will help them win vs. USA. Prepare to get exposed.

That dude is just mad that Turkey won and that the coach of Turkey (and assistant are both Bosnian) and if you know a bit about history Serbs have a huge history with Turkey and Bosnia.

With that being said it's funny how whenever they lose they start throwing excuses. Great job Turkey! :applause:

Umm, it has nothing to do with that. Several objective supporters not going for either team have pointed out that Turkey got terribly favored.

It's really not a coincidence that the only time the Turks have beat them is on home soil.

[QUOTE=whatever666]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.[/QUOTE]

Hell if Yugoslavia still existed today, they would be FIFA World Cup Champs and FIBA Champs as well. Talk about Domination!

Even look at it now for the Euro qualifications (soccer), #1 teams in the different groups were Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montengro (Slovenia was 2nd). :cheers:

Honestly, even if the game was reffed perfectly, someone would use an excuse to make up for the loss.

Bogdan Tanjevic is Serb you ****ing imbecile. There are shitloads of Serbs in Montenegro and Bosnia and he is one of them (as am I).

I'm glad that most neutrals here confirm that the refereeing was shameful and that the turks are undeserving finalists

True that, like Slovenians dont belong in footie talk from countries of former Yugoslavia:D

And yeah Turkey was pushed by refs, but it was a very good game,Tunceri on one side and Keselj+Teodosic on the another were ****ing amazing,its ridicolous how young and how good Serbia is,when Tripkovic is back they will score 20 three pointers in average per game:D

and I'm Croatian so this is even more annoying for me:D
