Generally, this was pretty decent half for us. 41 point against USA in one half is amazing, knowing we scored 90 points the most in one match and it was against Greece. I mean, our players never did anything so wrong - they were always near shooters, but there's just no way to stop them when they can't miss, no matter what you do. There is no way they can keep this tempo, so they can just be worse in 2nd half.
I am proud of these guys.

@Riis123 - Not sure what you do mean with refs being awful, but I am sure that Americans should've got few more fouls. They were waaay too agressive in first half with trying to steal the ball.

Just talking of the whole tournament (or those USA games I have watched) that the refs have been blowing constantly. I dont know, maybe I'm just used to something different from watching the NBA. - and by the way, buy that I meant both ways. Not in favour or against any team specifically

And yes, I agree. No way Spain could have kept up either when Kyrie Irving is THIS hot, pulling up from 30 without hesitation. He could easily have dropped 40 points on any team. And Harden has played a lot better as well today, his outside shot hasn't been falling. On the other hand, AD has been a non factor along with Curry, maybe Team USA's two best players on paper. That speaks volumes about their depth and the next man up-concept on talented squads such as this.
That was one really nice match. The alley-oop by Jovic at the end was amazing. A NBA move right there. I am so happy with this. Stunning results for us.
Igraj i Pobedi by THCF (Play and Win in rough translation). It's made exclusively for these guys and as a motivation for them and considering THCF is one of 3 biggest rap groups in this country, that is taken like an official song of it. You could see mainly Bogdanovic and all other guys sing this in locker-room after our wins and cosndering I know you watched them, that's prolly from where you know it.
