I didn't know that Anthony Randolph is playing for Slovenia. They have great players, their leader on the court is Dragic. He scored 30 points today. Also Igor Kokoskov is their coach, man great NBA experience, currently assistant in Utah Jazz. I think that they can fight for first of second placed in the group A.
I checked all the replies from this thread and I think you are the only one who mentioned Slovenia and almost everyone picks Spain (including me) to win the FIBA Eurobasketball 2017. Nice call.
Yes, I checked their line up and I'm seeing Goran Dragic and Anthony Randolph among them plus Luka Doncic we played excellent game today and has a good overall impact with almost a triple double today. I think its the combination of Slovenia hitting 3's while Spain missed a lot and Luka really playing well and assisting his teammates by creating a lot of pick and rolls. Slovenia has the momentum now and I consider them to be the favorites whoever opponent they meet now in Sunday's finals.
Thanks man, appreciate that. I saw other players, beside Slovenia 'big three' that can contribute( Blazic, Muric, Vidmar, experienced player...) and they looked like good composed team.
I thought that they will burn out against great game and great victory against Latvia and that they will lose match against Spain easily, but what a deny that was. They demolished Spanish team and right now I don't know what to think about final match that Slovenia will play against Serbia.
And what a story behind Serbian team... all those injured players... I just couldn't saw them as one of the favorites. But they played great basketball through all the tournament and with a bit of luck one of the medals is guaranteed. Coach Djordjevic and his team are doing great job scouting opponents and closing main threats, playing defence perfectly... and players trust him unconditionally, doing everything that have as a task.
Tomorrow we are going to watch exciting final game, I can't wait for it. Good luck for both of the teams.
