So true. Watching Hedo play in this tournament helps me to see that when he is supposed to be the leader that team will fail. I just have not seen much from him that gives me hope. Bad decision making on both sides of the court.

Agreed. I truely believe we don't deserve semis anymore.
Ok, our coach is not a coach. But our players aren't trying either.
KG believes that you find out who really loves the game after they get paid (probably specifically in reference to a players last big pay-day). I think he's right. Otherwise, Hedo's body language and facial expression wouldn't just be slovenly bemused all the time.

Except Asik and Kanter of course.
The good ones are. Onan, Kanter, Preldzic, Asik, and while Ilyasova is inconsistent, he puts in a nice effort I think.
Turkey has the pieces to make thunderous noise in this tournament. But instead they will be eliminated in the semi-semis.
Germany beat us with only 3 players, Kaman , Nowitzki and i dont even know the other players name. Nowitzki had foul trouble all game, we were better in France game. It is really frustrating to see this game play. I am sad that we cant go to the olympics, Enes could put a good performance there next year

Onan's been solid in this tournament. Good D, decent shooting. What's the problem with Onan?
I feel for you. That is some serious horse-****. Turkey should be in the olympics (with a different coach).
The funny thing is, Turkey still has a chance, if we beat Serbia and Lithuania beats Germany tomorrow, we will proceed. But this team doesnt give me any hope for tomorrows game. There doesnt seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel. Many people may think Serbia sucks after they lost todays game by margin, but that game wouldnt make any difference for them anyway, they are completely focused on Turkey's game. They will work their *** off and take last year's revenge and i am pretty sure they will win

Agreed. Preldziç is doing his usual things, he was same in Fenerbahçe, I mean there is not extra fight from him, he is just good. I am ok with Ilyasova defensively, bu he is far from his usual offense and totally shy on offense. Onan he is normally a much better deffender, also he is one of the best fastbreak players in the world, he didn't show this aspect of his game.
So just Kanter and Asik are the players I am totally all right with.
Damn I just remembered Asik's free throws.

Another possible scenario is LT losing both games vs France and Germany and in case Turkey wins vs Serbia it will be 3 way tie....wait, never mind in that way LT and Germany would move on as Turkey lost to them both. So yeah - Germany win vs LT would be the end for Turkey.
