I think that our chances are 50-50 for reaching top 6. So, I'm calculating that we need to win 2 games vs GB and one more. Didn't watch Italy much but watching our team I wouldn't consider us strong favorites against any team in the last 12. Yeah, probably we are slight favorites in both matches vs GB and Italy but it's more like 60-40 to me than let's say 80-20. Also, I think there's better chance of us losing any of those games than beating Belgium in QF. 

Well, I've been writing since the start that Serbia isn't top quality any more, there was a change in generations in the team and we probably will never have that kind of team again. So, making to the top 6 would be a success but at this point I think it's 50-50 chance. Yeah, we could beat GB but we aren't clear cut favorites there and after that we take the L vs Belgium for sure, so probably Italy for the top 6. And again I don't see us as favorites there. We blew it up vs Hungary even though we could lose by 4 and had an easy draw for SF. But we played horribly wrong that match. 

Jokić pure dominance is something to behold. The game is so simple for him, it's unbeleivable

Jokić is at the moment the best player in the world, this year and this playoff run cements that. Giannis is a close second. Embiid, Curry and Durant are probably other players in top 5. 

That's not how it works. To determine the rankings in basketball it's H2H always. 
 
Having said that, in no way is Hungary out of contention for qf. If they beat Serbia only by 4 they will be top of the group. 

Najveći plus ove ekipe je Marina. Ona će ih izdrilovati i naterati da peglaju odbranu i presing i tako ćemo doći do nekih lakih poena iz tranzicije pa ćemo od mnogo prosečnosti uz malo sreće doći do nekog rezultata gde mislim da bi tih top 6 bio veliki uspeh. Da je neko drugi selektor tipa ko onda kad je bio Steva Paradajz ne bi verovatno ni grupu prošli. Mađarska igra odlično, nadogradili su ekipu iz mlađih kategorija, napravili recept za uspeh i mislim da će one biti veći protivnik od Turske za prvo mesto.

Licni rekord za Angelinu, 197, i trece mjesto u Parizu.

Ubeđen sam da će ovaj Pariz 2024 ciklus biti najgori za nas u poslednje vreme. 

Koliko vidim i Nadica.
 

Teodora Vukojević odlična peta u trostavu na SK. 

Quite popular in bigger cities, among top 5 sports I should say. NBA is followed by a sizable population and they have an official store here.

Practically impossible without knowing which teams will show up. For example, will Jokić play for Serbia, what kind of USA national team will be there. I mean it's not impossible that if AMericans don't send their top team and they won't, they could miss on quarterfinals being in the same part of the draw with Greece and Lithuania with only two spots for QF. 
 
From first part of the draw Serbia and Italy game in the 2nd round will determine who will be first and who second but both will qualify for quarter finals. Then, it's the game with one of the three Greece/USA/Lithuania. 
 
Slovenia should coast from the group E but in group F we'll see one of AUS/GER/FIN eliminated in the first round and two in the second round. Probably Slovenia and Aus goes to QF but who knows. 
 
Finaly, Spain will cruise in group G, while group H is the toughest one. But big caveat is waiting to see will Canada FINALY send it's best players or at least very good team. If they do I could see them in QF with France, Spain and Latvia battling for the other QF spot. 
 
From Serbia's perspective, there are two do or die matches here for Olympic quota. Against Italy in 2nd round and QF matchup which will be massive.

We'll see. Just keep your faith in NATO and you'll find out. 

We won't qualify

Knowing Fiba we are going to get the worst possible rules for the draw

Plays for Red Star. All that free facu saga really has gotten on my nerves.  Also, pretty dirty player + big flopper. I always hated players who are dirty themselves and yet they overamplify every contact when they're on the other side of ball. 

Lol, Campazzo bye bye 

This is what happens when you live in your small echo chamber. China doesn't support sanctions, India doesn't support sanctions. Actually, much bigger part of the planet regarding both population and pure size don't sanction Russia. But, this is what's so typical for NATO countries, they all think that their opinion is only relevant and that they represent the entire world.

Great work. Personally I think, it's vastly overestimates Serbian team. Both volleyball teams, women's handball and both basketball teams. Very very tricky. I would go with men's basketball but not women's, there is a change of generations there, men's volleyball we're not top class anymore. And in handball it is far more likely that we qualify in men's rather than women's and even there it's probably below 50 percent. But great job doing all of this.

Currently the format has the top six unqualified nations at the World Championships qualifying to one of three tournaments. Since Oceania won't finish in the top 12, the two best performing continents at the World Championships (likely Europe and Africa) will qualify two teams from their respective continental qualifier while the other two continents will only qualify one team.
