Quite the contrary. Turkey undeservingly found themselves as one of the two sides in this final and as such, I am looking forward to a manhandling from team USA.

Oh come on. Serbia played great yesterday but today everyone saw their real capacity. Lithies beat them easily.


tell me ur not serious. do u think the serbian players actually slept anything after the game or had motivation to play the game? u think they were mentally and physically ready after a highway blatant robbery?

Anyone who doesn't try to get Durant the ball as hard as they can should be benched. He just hit 3 long shots in a row and they swung the ball around so Derrick Rose could take a 3.

Looks-like Turkey is going to try and take it to the hole on every possession.

Of course they will do that with the refs in their pockets.

It will be interesting to see the zone when Westbrook starts slashing in there.

Refs are definitely not calling this evenly thus far.
