TURKEY-SERBIA : The last chance

[idiot]

0-2 from the line is a surprise...he's been great from the line...

how was his defense?

I've been more impressed in other games. Looked lost a bit. Got faked 8 feet off his man on one move. Effort seems good.

it was clear actually, he just jumped as he is gonna dunk two handed hammer, but he changed his mind when he is on air and wanted to lay up and then he messed it up

Yikes. Should have thrown that **** down. Maybe he was too far out.

Btw Serbia won everygame they led entering halftime.

As i said, Enes needs to learn some stuff in basketball which arent fundamental, but these small details which makes your game better. He has amazing potential as i see, he can get better and better

For those who are Turkish: I'm curious as to what Turkish basketball fans are saying about Turkey's troubles. Are there those who say Kanter needs to be a bigger part of the attack. Or are we the only ones?

Despite the mistakes in this game (dunk, getting shaken, etc.), it's clear that Kanter is the only player Turkey has who can make something happen in the post. Neither Savas nor Asik have any post moves worth mentioning. Why they haven't tried to take advantage more often (along with Preldzic's ability with the ball in his hands and Asik's ability in PnR's), I don't know. Dribbling around and taking contested jumpers has never been a high percentage play in basketball. It seems that's what Turkey goes with 75% of the time.

As a Turk, I have trouble understanding Coach Ene's stubbornness to go small when our forté is our O in the paint.
I don't see why he almost never uses Enes & Omer Asik side by side. Maybe it's because he used to be a PG: he has a tendency to think small.
From now on, every team Turkey plays will just defend our bigs & challenge our PGs & wings.

Enes starting the 2nd half btw.

 

[aaquaa]

...and he makes the difference.

Another brick... And Krystic punishes Turkey.

I believe any poster on this forum would have done better with our team than Ene. He was a fantastic point guard but it is the biggest basketball torture to watch him ruining our best basketball generation.

Enes with a sweet pirouette!
