The favorite labeling aside, Serbia have been beaten once in the tourney albeit by missing two key players in that game- Teodosic and Krstic. In addition, that loss came after a 2nd OT. I am relatively confident that Germany would have a harder time beating Serbia had aforementioned players suited up, in other words the outcome would have been in Serbias favour.

Serbia has a shot here but from what each team showed this tournament and taking home court into account, Turkey is a definite favorite.


home court is only advantage, if our guys start with cold head, we can win offcourse.
Our advantage is Duda Ivkovic, and 11 players with almost equal minutes.

Does anyone have any Worlds highlights for Linas Kleiza? His stats seem beastly, but I wasn't able to catch any Lithuania games.

Lithuania really had an unbelievable FIBA run. They really were solid against an athletic French team from what I've seen.
