Funnily enough Serbia seems less dependent on Jokic because of how good they are, I mean the guy gets like 3 shots and calls it a day

Looking forward to it. I am utterly curious about the Turkey and Serbia match and especially how Jokic and Alp would play… terrific

You’ll be disappointed, because Serbia will make it a boring game result vise.

If I’m coach Ataman I would rest the starters as it will be the final game of the group stage

several years ago Turkey gave all out against USA but lost. next game the entire team turned out to be dejected by that and failed to win against Czechia

should have been one last year

Could see that but there’s a lot of usage to go around on the Rockets especially with KD arriving. 

There’s a good chance he’s the best player on the Rockets next year, KD will be great but I think his usage will go down as he gets older while maintaining his elite efficiency. Amen is gonna be even better but without a shot I still think Sengun is the best player on that team.

Always gotta be careful to not overreact to these Euro Basket games. I mean Cedi Osman had a huge game today and he was mid at best his entire NBA career

Larkin and Korkmaz are not who they used to be honest, but Tarik Biberovic might be a better option moving forward.

Realistically, Turkey has its best player ever in Alpi right now, as well as some good depth behind him and in the wings, but the guard position is subpar for it to be a golden era. It has really been an issue for a long time for Turkey, since the early 2010s.

The other players are limited tbh, I mean Sengun being this good arguably makes this a “golden era” but that might just be like quarter-semi finals at best. This Czechia team scored 50 points against Portugal 2 days ago so not exactly the best competition

Golden Era? Turkish basketball has been in decline for the last 10 years.While finishing second in the 2010 FIBA ​​World Basketball Championship, the squad was like Hedo, Ilyasova, and Asik. Plus Kerem Tunçeri, local small legend.

he was bad but also playing out of position. in one of the timeouts the coach told him he’s a 1 on offense and 3 on defense lol. never got into a rhythm. he had to do some of that for the hawks too. he just isnt a ball handler

The Czech Republic officially adopted the short name Czechia on April 14, 2016.

23, 12, and 9 in 28 minutes in a game where your team scored 92 points, so you are responsible for a little under 50% of all your team’s points as well as getting fouled 12 times
