Turkey 73 - Slovenia 67, my prediction.

YES YES YES !!!!!!!! and By 3 points



yes sorry too much

about the Turkey game.

Well well, It was predictable but I believe that Slovenia (this time correct) will have a bit better defense. well Both of us were wrong. And badly wrong by 30 points in quarters? That is a lot. But in my Opinion, they are the future champions. They can loose only mentally, not by beating them up.

Yap, not so lucky this time. Serbia were truly deserved winners, and Spain was a disappointment. As expected, that was the most exciting game so far in this tournament. Teodosic's 3 point shot from downtown in the dying seconds was really sensational!! I see them playing against the tournament favorite USA in the final.

Did you see Navarros last position where he acted again to get 2 free throws..
I'm glad ref didn't buy it

If it will be a close game throughout 40minutes, then I'd say Serbia has more chance, because Turkey haven't played a close game yet in this tournament..
Other than that, Turkey might give them a 15-20 point goodbye kiss

Well I do not want you disappointing. But They have no chance against Turkey, their 53% penalty shots nearly cost them a game this time. and against Turkey zone and their shooters. no chance.

by the way.

Today's cold war match will win those Imperialistic animals (as a Russians called them) but it will be nice and close game.good offense again not bad defense. 89 - 86 for USA (however I have a feeling that it may be a shocking game)

and Lithuania will beat Argentina by 7 point. 88 - 81

I was thinking about Argentina before. But I think Their game is not good against team like Lithuania.

I was really happy when referee realized what game the Spanish play with them. they were buying it a lot at the beginning of last quoter and then say to them self and now it is just enough. And they start to aply strict rules on both sides, and Spain was doomend for the moment.

haha...the match between USA and russia is about to start. But still no people joining the prediction game? USA 96 - Russia 84

I got home about a 40 mints ago, Traveling by taxi a cross of Shanghai, having no may to pay him as I missed last metro by cca 3 mints watching a Russian collapse and speaking on the phone with my wife trying to divorce me. A pleasant evening Indeed. grrrrr.

^ Tough night, buddy!
Anyway, the russians were having equally tough night! They've enjoyed moments of glory when they were leading in 3 points and rebounds. For a moment, I thought USA is busted this time. But fortunately for them, the russians cannot last for the whole match. And victory was sealed 5mins before the final whistle. I think this is the first match in the tournament that USA was really being tested. At times, finding it both hard to control and play their game.

And how did Lithuania manage to destroy Argentina? Anyone watched the game?

yes .

Somehow I want to say the USA do not win the game that was the Russian team who cannot hold themselves together all game. But it is the part of the game.


Dincer: well easy. Guess who had a really hard time on court from Argentina team? and guess how many points per game he scored till the game? And result is surprise surprise... yes you are right Cola (Do I spell him correctly?)

tonight Slovenia will beat a Spain 88 84

Second game Russia will beat Argentina 82 77 here I am not sure. I am afraid that Russians will have a mental block again for while and it will lost him a game, however now they know how to play against 1 man team and it should help them. I hope

Final game about to start.. Any predictions?

I was hoping for Turkey but they were probably tired. And I missed a game as I was off all weekend without TV.
