Yeah, everyone makes mistakes. Mistakes are made when you mess something up, do something improperly. WHen you make a mistake in a crucial moment, that mistake is called a choke. Missing an easy FT (since all FT's are literally the same every time, since the beginning of time) in the final minute, is a choke.

deron missed two very important in houston series in final min, in the third game i think, thanks god then memo rebounded. Then i guess deron is a choke too

Hey Sepano, don't take it personally. This is a good opportunity for him to get this clutch experience. He did mess up today, but take a look at a young Kobe Bryant air-balling three's against the Jazz in the Play-Offs. He is one of the clutchest players of the last thirty years. It's a process. He'll get it next time, and use this experience. That's what young players do.

exactly, thats what i mean, making a mistake doesnt mean ure a bad player, the important thing is, the mistake shouldnt be a fundamental mistake. It is also funny that this guy isnt turkish and its his first tourney with national team , and he is getting so much clutch shots. Preldzic previously played in slovenian youth teams , turkish federation tried too hard to get him into this tournament.
 
I was angry that this game wasn't on ESPN3 yet-- wanted to watch it before looking at the box.

Decided to just look at the box, and I'm happy that I didn't watch. So much for the clash between 3 and 5. What a let down!
 
Dude Predzic must be related to you or something. I just said he choked. I didn't say he was a choke, or had a history of choking. Get off the guys jock.
 
Turkeys box score.

2 point FG : 23/39 or 59%

3 point FG: 3/18 or 17%

Jerry Sloan would be irate.
 
Preldzic is a hell of a player, and it's a great testament to his competitiveness that he wanted the ball in his hands at the end of a close game and was willing to do all he could to make something happen. He messed up to end the game, but kudos for having the balls.
 
Can someone tell me what happened to Kanter's production in the second half? I missed it (although I didn't miss much I guess). It appears he hardly got any minutes and possibly even fewer possessions. Somehow.

they didnt pass him the ball,thats what happened
 
Now I didn't watch the game, but I'm guessing its because Turkey took a three point shot with every possession.

It was insane. The first quarter Kanter got 3 quick post ups. The 2nd quarter rolls along and he isn't really getting the ball in scoring position, but still getting touches. 3rd quarter he hardly even touches the ball. Then the 4th quarter coaching blunder happens. Turkey puts out its 5 starters to start the 4th quarter. I'm pretty sure they subbed no one out either the entire 4th until about 3 or 4 minutes left, when they put Predzic in for Turk. Then 1 minute to go they put Kanter in.
 
I turned off the game after the third period. I couldn't watch Turkey's guards completely ignore their bigs especially Enes. They were winning the game taking the ball to the hoop and then they started chunking up 3 pts. and they were done. I would hate to play on a team like Turkey because they don't play team ball.
