Doesnt change the fact that Spain got blown out by 20+ in semis and Serbia got beaten in the finals when Slovenia was playing without Doncic and Dragic in the 4th. As I said, officially the best Euro team at the moment is not playing here. Both of these weak teams are lucky.


Mmmm no
One game/ tournament doesn’t say nothing .
Slovenia has been historically swept by both



First team to win the Eurobasket in 20 years without a loss in the tournament. One game? They won 9 games in a row. One of the most dominant performances in Eurobasket history. Again, officially the best Euro NT at the moment, easily. Doesnt matter what happened before. Serbia and Spain dont stand a chance against them :D

I think that Pau Gasol is still quicker than his brother...
When this account gets more "And1"s than posts written ...then my life will be complete. And maybe it will be the right time to hang it up. (Achieved on 2017-2018 season)...but still here.

There is an option of autoignoring posters who compare Jokic with Dirk, Pau or even Parker? Thank you.

Serbia has only two stars in Jokic and Bogdanovic, all other players look so mediocre. Though because of team play and raised motivation playing USA I expect a close game in case the teams play each other.

Serbia's guards aren't good at all. Overall as a team they are soft and play more of a finese game really. Where as Spain has players that really hustle.

How is Raduljica a basketball player? Plumplee looks like an all-star compared to him.

Oh Serbia :lol: :lol: :lol:
Where are all the guys saying here they were "the best team ever"?
Be humble...
If you have more "Posts" than "And1", don't feel bad if I didn't reply to you - I just don't like to speak with people who argue a lot :beer:

The disrespect from US fans to Spain is already a classic. Only team which has stood up and put up a great fight in 3 consecutive Olympics, no problem, let's keep Spain under the radar!

I'm happy that we lost. Every time Serbia won tournament we had one of these games in group stage. You just need to get it out of system.
This was awful performance. So many turnovers, offensive rebounds by Spain, awful shooting for 3pt, missed layups....
But it is good to put players back on the earth and to make them see that u need to fight for every ball like its last one...

Only drawback is that potential semis are against USA so its probably gold or nothing for Serbia...
