Eurobasket 2013

Don't wanna sound greedy, but is there a livescore as well? I browsed through the fibaeurope.com page and couldn't find one.

Its a special tournament in Turkey that preparing teams to Eurobasket 2013. There is no box score i guess, at least i couldnt find it.
 
Serbia beat Turkey 78-72. Serbs look as one of the best teams along with Spain, Greece, France and Lithuania. They are one notch above the rest, to me.
 
Serbia had some decent guards. Only thing that really caught my eye.

They have also Teodosic besides the ones you've seen and he's much much better than them. He is injured right now but they will make him ready very likely. Still 10 days to the tournament.
 
Serbs have beaten us by the setting the screen on the low post to open that corridor and great ball movement by exploiting our defensive match-up nastiness. They are not too hard to beat but without Teo, I think it would be a different story with him. Turkey used many unnecessary subs and gave less time to the real deals like Aşık, and that won't be the same in Eurobasket.

But all the things you said are same for the Serbs too. They are playing just better at this point I think. Ivkovic has always good offensive game, he can use his players very well, our bigs are much better than theirs(maybe except Krstic) but they are using the paint much much better. If we want to beat them in a possible game in the tournament we have to learn to use the paint without giving away from our defense. Our defense is our brand now but we can't win under 70 pts against good offensive teams like Serbia.

We could start but grabbing at least %70 of those given away offensive boards. You can't win a game if you give away so many from your board.

~And the FT % !! Did Aşık shoot better than Hedo or something?
 
You seem like the guy to talk to about Euro prospects.
Do you have a top 5?
Video?

There are plenty of posters who know a lot about Euros. Addictionary, AKMVP, illyasova, JazzYapma, BTP, berkkobe, CitizenofCapua from top of my head. There are some old posters too but they are not posting anymore.

I have top 5s but in Europe prospects are being talked more likely by their birth years. 92s are known now, Fornier, Neto(not european though) JV, Kanter, Gobert, Westermann, Gentile, Ondrej Balvin etc

93s... Karasev, Schroder, Oleksiy Len, Berkay Candan(This is not one of the best generations)

94s... Dario Saric(my fav), Antetokounmpo, Vasilije Micic, Jaiteh etc

95s... (Best generation imo) Mario Hezonja, Kenan Sipahi, Diop, Dusan Ristic, Vezenkov, Cedi Osman, Pechacek, Metecan Birsen

96s&97s... Marko Arapovic, Sabonis(Yep son of the legendary Sabonis), Egemen Güven, Georgios Papagiannis, Okben Ulubay, Lovro Mazalin, Furkan Korkmaz etc...

Yes Aşık is getting better and better at the FT line. He will be over 60% the next season, I believe in him.

He should be more dominant on the boards though, as you said we gave away too many rebounds and Ömer was one of the lazy rebounders yesterday(I know it's hard to believe but he looked kinda disinterested).
