Raduljica is joke of a  player.havent seen center who was given so many blocks

 

Yeah and we played without Marjanović (still mistery why he played just 2min today) and Jokić of course. So Raduljica was main center today.

Wow! This team is not as good as it was 10 years ago but today they have played a really good game and we are a step closer of qualifying for Tokyo (hopefully it will be enough with reaching the semifinals).

 

Nevertheless, I still think that Serbia is the main favorite for the gold medal, even with a more difficult road to the final. Now we have to focus on Poland, because it will be a very tough match. ¡Vamos España!

 

PS. Argentina-Serbia will be a very interesting match to see, I hope Argentina can upset the serbians! Apart of Spain, I always root for them in basketball and I will be very happy to see both teams in SFs.

But yes, this was just preparation. Championship for big teams starts for 2 days. It will be very interesting. Maybe only in match Spain-Poland we have huge favorite.

 

and btw well done Nigeria and Iran.

I was hoping for a Serbia win to avoid them but after watching Spain in this level I think it's the same.

 

Anyway, Serbia wasn't really that bad, they just forgot their 3P% at the hotel.

I really don expect this big diference between Argentina and Poland, is a shame but the next game is with Serbia.......of course Spain will be a terrible rival too.

 

Probably, the best basket world cup in the "average" level of teams.

Lithuania was robbed at the end, very poor officiating.

I think it wasn't posted yet, so: this is way three officials/referees have been kicked out by FIBA. Antonio Conde of Spain,  Daniel Alberto Garcia Nieves of Venezuela and Leandro Lezcano of Argentina.

China fails to qualify for the first time in their Olympic history.

There's no other chance or anything, this is already it?

Well, I'd be surprised if they stand a chance against the European teams in the final OQT.

If they qualify a women's team, they'll claim to keep their streak.
