Luk must sit, he's frustrated and is taking it out on his team mates

Are you watching the game lol? He's giving them open shots and layups on a platter again, you would be frustrated too. It's true that our defense is beyond horrible but refs were very one sided when Poland was making a run.

**** doesn't look good for Muric

Slovenia can't get to the FT line. Driving to the rim entire evening... how is this possible that Poland hardly fouls lol.

3 bad quarters and 1 amazing, and its still close

Man, this is the 1st failure in Luka's profissional career, I hope he has the support around him to grow through it.
Officiating is absurd, and has been for all of this tournament, FIBA must do better

So, was I right or was I right?

Luka couldnt walk before end of the 3rd quarter. I told you he was out of shape.

He also needs to work on his psyche, he is not able to control his emotions and thats why he is so up and down with his FTs. Cant trust him. His behaviour at the end of the game was disgusting, he should get fined for his primitivity. This was a joke of a performance and he failed completely in the first game that actually mattered and had to be won. I dont count Belgium, Slovenia would have won that even without Luka

I think Slovenia as a whole need to respect opponents more. Slovenia underperforms against Bosnia, Belgium and Poland. This is a problem of mindsets. Looking down on opponents is never a good sign. Plays with energy and effort facing whoever. This is a lesson the Greece learnt a couple of days ago. A blow out win by Germany is inexcusable.

U forgot the right answer which were u were wrong. Had nothing to do with his shape, he played hurt. Unless u consider shape== hurt? Personally didnt think it was that bad before game, bit he had to take a shot in 3rd quarter to even continue to play, and going to lockerroom at halftime I wondered if he even would play more if not for a knockout game.

Gets a few weeks rest now, then on it. Cant wait for new season. Very intrested in how hardy will develop and how wood will look in this team.

Yeah, sure. Every time he plays bad and looks like he will die on the court, he is hurt. Must be hurt every 3 games then :lol:

His behaviour at the end of the game was the same as Dragic's. They both went after refs because they were absolutely horrible. They allowed Poland to play physical but not the other way around. Slovenia was driving to the rim entire evening while Poland was mostly shooting jumpers. Yet somehow, Poland ended with 31 FTA !!!! (11 more than SLO)

Luka received pain injections to his back at the half so he was extra mad and exhausted but wanted to play on. Sure, his shot wasn't falling but he still hustled and played good defense. Blažič was amazing, Gogi tried his best for his age, while other guys like Murič and Prepelič were missing clear layups and FT's. Tobey is a shell of himself from what he was years ago.

I knew this team will have huge problems if Luka wouldn't have his usual god-like games. It is what it is. Also, Sekulič must go, dude is even more lost in space than Dimec.

Are you sure?

I didn't know that Batum,De Colo,Frank ecc were out... With this roster they are not so good obviously

Not so good but they will play the final... Yabusele is amazing, i'd like him like 3&D in rotation with DFS and Bullock.

They might be the luckiest team ever. Turkey was, 2 points up, had 2 FT and possession 10 seconds before the end. That should be game over. They missed 2 FTs and lost the ball, and France has won in second overtime. Next game Italy was 2 points up and had 2FT, they have missed them both and last possession to win, France again won in overtime. And then Slovenia gave them Poland in semis.

I read something about a party the night before Slovenia-Poland.
Well done Luka. Good work.

Not surprised. One of the reasons I believe he will never live up to his potential.

News are coming from Bosnian media, unless Slovenian reporter reports, I'll take it with a grain of salt.
