Feels more and more like Spain has a clear path to gold
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.

Serbia had a group full of bad teams. They didn't have a single test until tonight and against the first above average team they faced they weren't ready.

Jokic plus 11 and Serbia lost by 8. Why didn’t he play all of the 4th quarter. Dumb dumb

Croatia succeeded to avoid Serbia in the quarterfinals, in so many ways Bogdanovic possibly couldn't possibly have imagined, when he in on purpose missed that FT :p

One shouldn't plan how to cook the goose when it is unclear if there even will be a goose to cook :D

A nightmare for us, since Italia is really strong at pg and forward positions. With wings that are taller (and better wingspan) and unlike Gallo, they can defend pretty well. A lot will depend on foul trouble and our perimeter defense. If we over help, we are screwed.

For the fun of it, if Datome kills us, i have the meme from Obradovic ready ( :wink: )

It is far better to lose against Finland then to Serbia, whatever the constellation of power currently is. Due to special circumstances, but that aside, Croatian archaic brand of basketball couldn' t take them any further.

Cubies hyperventilating already before someone starts a thread about Jokic failing to win anything.
