Yeah, who would have thought. I can't help but think that Duda made a huge mistake in not going with guys like Milicic and Rakocevic.
OT - Everything Basketball
We always seem to have a thread for our b-ball NT heading towards major tournaments and with Duda picking his squad for the qualifiers this summer, I figured it was time for the next one.
First off the squad..

krila: Ivan Paunić (Virtus Bolonja), Mladen Jeremić (Hemofarm), Marko Kešelj (Olimpijakos), Andreja Milutinović (Crvena zvezda Diva), Nemanja Bjelica (Kaha Laboral), Vladimir Lučić (Partizan mt:s), Novica Veličković (Real Madrid), Duško Savanović (Anadolu Efes), Zoran Erceg (Bešiktaš), Milan Mačvan (Makabi/Partizan mt:s), Dragan Labović (Krasnije Krilja);
centri: Nenad Krstić (CSKA Moskva), Kosta Perović (Barselona), Milovan Raković (Žalgiris), Miroslav Raduljica (Anadolu Efes/Partizan mt:s), Dejan Musli (Kaha Laboral), Mile Ilić (Crvena zvezda Diva).

Nice schedule, good chance to see some b-ball during the summer for those of us who will be there. :thumbsup:
Top 2 qualify as well as the 4 best third placed teams.
Now give us your full analysis DZ and other experts.
I see a fair number of younger players there like Nedovic, Musli, Andjusic, Jaramaz, Milutinovic, Lucic. Also slightly older newcomers in Dabovic and Jeremic.
Who's missing from the list except for guys like Milicic?
Novica btw very important for Real towards the end of the season. Good news for our NT as last year we missed him a lot.

FIBA is the most retarded place on earth.
Not that i'm complaining cause it will guarantee our place when we win Slovakia today (up by 38 right now) - but what they did is, they gave the groups with the 6 teams in them an unfair advantage.
Cause as far as the best 3rd place finishers from all houses - what counts is the wins record - and we play 2 more games then groups with 5 teams in them, so naturally the common decision should be not to count the 2 games against the last place finishers, right?
But not in FIBA apparently :howler: So it ends up that the wins against Slovakia does count both of us

Where did you find this information?But not in FIBA apparently :howler: So it ends up that the wins against Slovakia does count both of us
Yes, because we take it for granted that Estonia will defeat Iceland in the last round and thus take their record to 6-4.
Serbia would then be fourth in the group.
Nice to see you back. :thumbsup: Hopefully you stick around this time.
Boris is right - hopefully this serves as a wake up call and we learn from our mistakes..:howler:
It is hard to point a finger at something and say what is wrong, it just seems like everything is wrong.
p.s But as someone here said, it's a crying shame we didn't play at the Olympics.

SO Estonians whooped our ass first at football now at basketball, our nation supposed two most popular sports? I guess tennis is next..
Save to say Holland get's relegated to #2 as our boogie team.
