My boy Micic destroying them, he's picking their defense apart.

Great game.

Croatia smart to switch to zone in an attempt to cool down Micic, and it's working - his impact on the game is grealy reduced since they're in the zone - although you guys are also just not hitting shots.

If Saric works on his shooting he can be such a beast.

Really liking Micic tho. Pure PG. His passing and playmaking instincts are superb - and atleast in those levels he seem a very good defender.

European Jason Kidd is really a fine comparison. Think he can have a future in the NBA if he really wants it.

Alright, time for me to go. Croats just hit a 3, I'm clearly jinxing matters here. :D
Good that we've come to an agreement that you're jinxing Serbian NT's.

It's now official as per XT Serbia laws.

It just doesn't feel the same when we don't beat them with a last second 3 pointer :(

Expected, pretty much routine win and we have the aussies up next. RTS2 has coverage by the way.

Think we're playing Australia tomorrow who we have already beaten in the tournament and who surprised Spain today.

Lithuania are through and will most likely play USA in the other semi final.


Senior news by the way: Erceg, Savanovic and Velickovic all out and have been replaced by two players who i'm not particularly familiar with but apparently are talented.

100% record against Croats, live in person.

Hell, I even launched Bane's career with that late winner against Croatia in Oberhausen back in the day. No need to thank me though, you ungrateful bastard. :D

73-66 :coffee:

Croats, European champs in this age category. Means nothing when they come up against daddy. :shades:

Semi's await.
Tbh, if they were in full strength(or to be more exact, with Mario Hezonja) they'd most likely come out on top

Let it go Stank, you don't know about our record in sports against them. Put up a random Serbian girl on skies and we'd even take that from them. :shades:

Trust Miha btw, ex-Inter, club of doom, to put a big dent in that record. :moan:

Basketball is different Krle. Even just look at Partizan vs Cedevita. 7 down with 35 seconds left and the Croats ****ed it up.

Just wish we beat them with a last second three pointer :(

RIDICULOUS athlete, gonna be a star in the NBA someday. Only 17.

:thumbsup:

What are your expectations Stank? I saw we beat them convincingly earlier on in the tournament. But that's never a guarantee when it comes to the main stages of the competition.

Only one ex-yugo in the Aussie line-up, Krslovic. Surprisingly low number. :D
