CROATIAN NBDL: KK Zapad vs KK Labrada 145:143...

BACK & FORTH - KK ZAPAD vs KK LABRADA 29-09-2007: Najzapaženije role su za domaćina odigrali combo guard Šime & swingman Boro (ex-Zabok/A1), dok je za goste briljirao sjajan šuter Slunjski...

KK Zapad je odigrao maratonsku prijateljsku utakmicu u O.Š. Malešnica i pobijedio B1 ligaša Labradu sa 145:143.

Nismo bili kompletni ali je za nas igrala hodajuća košarkaška enciklopedija Muraya (3 minute: 1 asitencija/izgubljena/ukradena lopta) tj. autor ovog sjajnog bloga, a svi smo dobili priliku da zaigramo.

Moram priznati da iako smo vodili veći dio utakmice bili smo na rubu da je izgubimo jer smo gubili sa 138:128 nekih 5 minuta prije kraja.

U srijedu u Martinovki su odmjerili snage B1 ligaš KK Medveščak i KK Zapad u Martinovki i KK Zapad je nekompletan pobijedio "Medvjede"sa 20-ak koševa razlike u prvoj pripremnoj utakmici za KK Zapad.

Najnovija vijest: KK Zapad će se gotovo sigurno prijaviti za Kup što znači da bi slijedeće nedjelje trebali igrati sa nekim višerangiranim klubom i na natjecateljski način otvoriti sezonu 2007/2008.

KOŠARKA D.D.
O dionicama i dioničarstvu


Kao što svi znamo,

Deadline za upis HT-ovih dionica je večeras u 20.00 sati, pa tko voli nek' izvoli.

Što se mene tiče imao sam iskrenu namjeru po prvi puta u životu postati dioničar, ali me je sam pogled na nepregledne i terorističkim napadima atraktivne redove (čak i vikendom!!) odbio od tog potencijalnog vremenskog suicida.

Svjetan rizika, postao sam svjestan i hiper-potražnje, i trenutno utjehu imam u činjenici.....da ne mudrujem previše:

...jer bi Vam se inače ovo dioničko krštenje moglo pretvoriti u putovanje nižom klasom na "HTitanicu" gdje na čamcima za spasavanje nema mjesta za nebogatu i nesnalažljivu raju, a nisu se na vrijeme sjetili iskrcati na ledenu santu...

Što se tiče košarkaških dionica Celticsi su prije dolaska u Rim na decade high, Knicksi su izgleda dotaknuli decade low (just how low can you go??, a Zrinjevac je, barem sudeći prema naslovu, čini se izašao iz višegodišnje stagnantne faze...

PROMETNO NA PLAYU: Mula u Ciboni, Šaras u Panathinaikosu, Baron wants out of Bay Area...

Nisam bio siguran o čemu pisati...

O Šarasovoj javi ili Baronovim snovima...

Shvatio sam da je stvarnost mnogo bliže, na manje od 2km hoda...

TWO WEEKS AGO: Shawn Kemp Sighting in Houston, TX...

PER ASPERA AD ASTRA BACK-2-BACK?? Shawn Kemp (37) works out at Barker Reservoir at George Bush Park Nature Reserve in Houston. "I'm out here everyday and I hit this hill 10 times with 25-pound weights on each leg," Kemp said. He's trying to get back in shape to restart his basketball career.


We run every Monday and Thursday night. For the last two Thursday nights Daniel Gibson and Shawn Kemp have been working out.



OVAKO JE TO IZGLEDALO PRIJE KEMPA - BULLS vs SONICS 1987/88: An overtime thriller that was very competitive. The sonics Big 3 of Tom Chambers, Xavier "X-man" McDaniel & sharp shooting specialist Dale Ellis, were on full display in this game. X-man forced the game into overtime with a clutch 3 pointer, but in the end, MJ finished them off with his own clutch plays, both offensively & defensively...


Shawn looks the best I have seen him in years. No fat, very trim. He was working on his outside shot that is not quite there yet.



SHAWN NEMOJ GLEDATI NAJBOLJEG NCAA DUNKERA DA TE NE ZABOLE OČI & ZGLOBOVI: Compilation of JR Gidden's warmup practice and dunk contest dunks...


Let me say that Shawn is incredibly approachable and a top notch guy. Just because I thought he was an absolute freak in his day in Seattle does not mean I am biased.

Odlično raspoloženi Skot Polard, koji je svojom pojavom (ali i stilom oblačenja) privukao veliku pažnju ljudi na Aerodromu „Nikola Tesla“, kaže da je poziv Vlade Divca da dođe u Srbiju na njegov oproštaj prihvatio istog trenutka.

Polard je rekao da je veoma uzbuđen zbog dolaska u Srbiju.

IT'S OFFICIAL: GM Mullin releases PG Jasikevicius from Golden State Warriors...

NIJESU BRITANCI NIKAKAV BAUK...
MONTENEGRO UPDATE


Kosarkaska reprezentacija Crne Gore ove godine se najvjerovatnije neće okupljati. Iako je izašao spisak (svih mogucih) igrača na koje se računa, do okupljanja još nije došlo, a male su šanse da ce zaigrati u 2007. Prvo takmičenje koje će igrati su kvalifikacije za Prvenstvo Evrope 2009. a tim ce voditi aktuelni trener beogradskog Partizana, Duško Vujošević. Njega su na mjestu selektora htjeli mnogi, mada, licno smatram, da to nije bas najsrecnije rjesenje. Iako se dokazao radom u bivsoj SFRJ, pa onda u Italiji, (imao je i ima veliku podrsku Predraga Danilovica) i iako ga prati glas da je odlican za rad sa mladim igracima,

Dusko je imao i neke negativne epizode - vodio je SCG na evropskom prvenstvu u Švedskoj, gdje je drastično ''podmlađen'' tim, međutim, veoma loše, bez nekog plana, da ne kazem strategije, a vecina tih igraca nije nastavila da igra u reprezentaciji ili nema zapazenu ulogu. S druge strane, titule sa Partizanom, koji je najmocniji klub u Srbiji (tradicija, skola, infrastruktura, strucni i politicki uticaj) mogu, a ne moraju nista da znace.

Lično mislim da bi recimo Miroslav Nikolić ili čak Darko Ruso, mogli to bolje da rade, uz naravno, Žarka Paspalja, kojeg bi trebalo angažovati kao tim-menadžera ili pomoćnog trenera.

Bilo kako bilo, Dusko će selektirati i voditi tim, uz skoro punu podršku Saveza i javnosti... Kada je riječ o timu, objavljen je u junu, a čine ga sljedeći igrači:

PLEJMEJKERI - Ivan Koljević (Litvos Ritas), Goran Jeretin (Alba), Nenad Mijatović (Budućnost), Boris Bakić (Partizan).

BEKOVI - Bojan Bakić (Hemofarm), Vlado Šćepanović (Granada), Nebojša Bogavac (Le Man), Slobodan Tošić (Igokea), Miloš Minić (Svislajon), Marko Popović (Budućnost).

KRILA - Mladen Šekularac (Antverpen), Žarko Čabarkapa (Golden Stejt Voriors), Vladimir Dašić (Budućnost), Balša Radunović (Apoel), Aleksandar Pavlović (Klivlend Kavalirs).

KRILNI CENTRI - Goran Nikolić (bez kluba), Ivan Maraš (Budućnost), Predrag Drobnjak (bez kluba), Ivan Ivanović (Vojvodina), Blagota Sekulić (Real Madrid), Vladimir Dragičević (Budućnost).

CENTRI - Slavko Vraneš (bez kluba), Nikola Peković (Partizan), Žarko Rakočević (Budućnost), Vladimir Golubović (Vojvodina), Savo Đikanović (Larisa), Ivan Todorović (FMP Železnik), Đuro Ostojić (PAOK).

Na spisku se nalaze mladi i juniorski reprezentativci - Suad Šehović (Bosna), Sead Šehović (Bosna), Dragan Zeković (Basket klub Vijena, Austrija), Boris Savović (Hemofarm), Davor Barović (Alians basket, Italija), Đorđe Kavarić (Alians basket, Italija), Nikola Ljujić (Jedinstvo), Nemanja Radović (Centar), Nikola Vučević (Mornar), Filip Barović (Nikšić), Miloš Kuveljić (Nikšić), Miloš Lopičić (Lovćen) i Nikola Mirotić (Real).



SASHA PAVLOVIC - APRIL 2007.


To je otprilike sve što Crna Gora ima, a sa spiska je definitivno otpao Pavlović. Momak koji je ove godine igrao NBA finale, dugo je oootezao sa odlukom, a mediji su gotovo svakodnevno špekulisali, hoće-neće,neće-hoće, možda...

Na kraju, Pavlović je odlučio da igra za Srbiju, što i nije loše, jer reprezentaciji u svakom slučaju, nisu potrebni igrači koji se nećkaju. Ili igraš ili ne, nema premišljanja. Ako ne igraš, OK, a ako dodješ, treba da propišaš krv i znoj za dres! Jednostavno.

S druge strane, da je Pavlović igrao u nekim drugim klubovima (citaj: da nije igrao u Budućnosti), vjerovatno bi odluka bila drugačija, jer ipak je on ovdje rođen i odrastao, a i realno, mnogo je lakše biti vodeći igrač Crne Gore nego Srbije! Pretpostavlja se da je taj momak iz Bara kivan na upravu bivšeg kluba, pa je iz revolta rekao ne.

Njegovi igrački kvaliteti su za pohvalu, mada nije nesto naročito napredovao, s obzirom na to da igra i trenira s Lebron Džejmsom. On je atipičan evropski bek, visok dva metra, snažan i skočan, ima odličan ulaz i sjajno zakucavanje. Treba da popravi igru u odbrani i šut, pogotovo iz kontakta, pošto u Evropi nije previše šutirao, jer je snagom i skokom skoro uvijek mogao da postigne poen.

Ostali momci su u evropskim okvirima prosječni, izuzimajući Mijatovića, Pekovića i Dašića... Mijatović je vodeći igrač Budućnosti, pravi ''crnac'', atraktivan, brz, sve zna, jedino je ponekad psihički nestabilan. Dašić je veliki potencijal (bio na meti Real Madrida), još napreduje, a problem je što se traži između trojke i četvorke. Peković je počeo odlično da igra u Partizanu, jak, srcan i vrijedan centar, koji stalno napreduje i koji, u ovakvoj konkureciji evropskih centara, moze da napravi cudo. Nakon odlaska Koste Perovića, startni je centar Partizana.

Teško je prognozirati moguću prvu petorku... Jedna od varijanti je 1- Jeretin, 2- Šćepanović, 3- Čabarkapa, 4 – Drobnjak, 5 – Peković, ali to ne mora ništa da znači, jer tu mogu da budu i Mijatović ili Sekulić.
Pretpostavimo li da je Crne Gora mogla da se nađe na Evropskom prvenstvu, mislim da su, realno, mogli da prođu grupu. Ništa ne bi bili lošiji od recimo Portugala i sličnih...

U perspektivi, uz ove igrace i dobar i pametan rad Saveza i Vujoševića, ovaj tim može da izbori konstantno mjesto među 7-8 ili 10 najboljih timova Evrope, a tu je vec sve moguće. Naravno, ukoliko igrači nastave da napreduju i ukoliko budu igrali srcem.

KRAJ SLOANOVE JAZZ MONOFONIJE?? Kirilenko u NBA orbitu lansirao coacha Blatta...

AK-47: EVERY DAY I'M HUSTLIN' HUSTLIN' HUSTLIN'...


"BLOGOVE TREBA ZABRANITI, BLOGERE DEPORTIRATI"
JAZZ: AK's blog entry translated into everyday English


Andrei Kirilenko's blog entry from the Russian Web site Sport Today, translated by Tribune staffer and Russian native Michael Nakoryakov:

"Obviously, [Jerry] Sloan is a legendary coach. He's had great experience. He grew a number of great players and many times he has taken Utah to the NBA Finals. But for me, his style and his system are not quite fitting.

"Thanks to Sloan, he gave me a chance to realize myself as an NBA player. Thanks to him, I became an All-Star in 2004 and I think he did a lot to help me to sign this huge contract.

"[Russian coach David] Blatt in turn helped me to realize a dream, to become a champion with a Russian team. That's worth a lot to me. You wouldn't believe how happy I feel to win games for my own country. For this, I'm deeply grateful to Blatt.

"I respect and value him for his ability to organize the players so the strongest qualities of each are used 100 percent. He is able to motivate a team using a positive approach even though he could be strict enough without using psychological pressure.

"He gives everybody a chance to feel that he is very important and the result of the team depends on each player. That actually helps players to feel confident. There are 12 basketball players on a team and each of them needs an individual approach.

"That's just the only way a player can demonstrate 100 percent result because a coach is not just an organizer, he is a psychologist. So thanks to Blatt that after the bad NBA season, he still believed in me and he created conditions in the team for me that I can demonstrate the highest quality playing and bring the most to the team.

"In other words, for Russia and under Blatt, I'm ready to play and I love to do that.

"In a week, I need to join the Utah Jazz again but quite frankly I'm not really happy about that. The past season was bad for me and I was really disappointed. I've thought about it a lot and I came to a decision. I want to leave Utah Jazz. The European championships that just ended became sort of a test for me and now I think I know what I want to do.



LAKER#8 PRESENTS ANDREI KIRILENKO MIX...


"Coach Sloan is one of the reasons. It's not the only reason. In the six years I spent in NBA, I definitely have great experience. It's quite clear that NBA is the strongest, most powerful basketball league in the world and every game makes you better as a player just because there is a challenge. Those conditions make you stronger.

"All those words would be correct as far as I'm concerned but there is an exception - the two past seasons.

"[Sloan's] main method to motivate players is to create a feeling of guilt. Our wages, our errors in games and whatever we do beyond playing for the Jazz is also an excuse to criticize us. I want to play basketball. I want to be happy playing basketball, but I don't want to be a robot in Sloan's system."

"Therefore I don't really see any future in Utah Jazz for myself. Yes, I have a huge and expensive contract, but I'm sure that I've never been insincere toward the fans of Jazz. I feel great gratitude to them for their love and support. They have helped me from the very first minute in Salt Lake City. I have no doubt they will understand the motives that move me.

"I have never told it to anybody but a few weeks ago, I talked to the general manager of Utah, Kevin O'Connor. I told him that I don't see myself in the team and want to leave. Quite clearly, Utah and me see my place and role in the team differently.

"I don't want myself and my contract to be a burden for the club. I want the club to continue in its own direction. It's their choice. I have only one request. Let me, myself, go in the direction I want to go.

"I don't want to be there and mechanically fulfill a contract. Unfortunately, it's been more than a week, but I haven't heard from the Jazz leadership. There's no response negative or positive and this silence is just one more evidence of the way they treat me.

"Nevertheless, I'm really hopeful that Utah Jazz leadership will realize that our relationship is over and it's time for us to part ways."

GREG ODEN will miss his rookie season...

GREG ODEN EXPLAINS HOW HE WAS INJURED: clmnews.com presents ESPN radio personality, Collin Cowherd talking about the loss of number one overall pick Greg Oden to a season ending knee injury. And reading a statement offered by Greg Oden on the Center's own Blog. Visit www.clmnews.com for more on Greg Oden and his microfracture surgery and search CLMNEWS on YouTube to view more sports clips.



POVIJEST SE PONAVLJA U PORTLANDU...
Oden injury conjures up old memories for Blazers


The season-ending injury to Greg Oden dredged up a bad memory for Portland Trail Blazers fans -- that fateful draft day in 1984 when the team used the second overall pick to choose Sam Bowie instead of Michael Jordan.

Bowie proved injury-prone and Jordan proved to be, well, Jordan.

The news Thursday that the No. 1 pick in the June draft is out for the season after knee surgery brought inevitable comparisons. Should Portland have gone with Texas star Kevin Durant, who went to Seattle with the second selection?

The Blazers organization was standing firm by the decision.

"If you could look in (Oden's) eyes today, you will see that this kid is what we want, and I have no doubt he will be back. I always believe things happen for a reason," Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard said. "People need to realize: Oden will be back."

And it remains to be seen whether Oden's future will prove as bleak as Bowie's and what has been called one of the worst draft debacles ever.

In 1984, the Houston Rockets took Hakeem Olajuwan with the top pick. Then the Blazers selected Bowie, passing on Michael Jordan, who went third to the Bulls. Later, Charles Barkley and John Stockton were selected.

The 7-foot-1 Bowie played four seasons with Portland, averaging 10.5 points, but he was plagued by injuries and had leg surgery as many as five times. He retired in 1995 after stints with the New Jersey Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Even Pritchard and coach Nate McMillan recalled Bowie when the news about Oden broke, but that didn't shake their confidence.

"We talked about it internally, Nate and I, but the one thing we do know is that we picked the right player," Pritchard said. "Greg is a wonderful human being. He is going to be a great basketball player."

Said McMillan: "Greg Oden was our man. He still is our man."



GOOD LIFE – BLAZERS MIX: GET WELL GREG ODEN!!! New mix of Blazers summer league and practice runs to the music of Kanye West - "Good Life".


The loss of Oden stings in part because the Blazers appeared to be finally turning a corner after several down years for a once-proud franchise.

Not only had the Blazers struggled on the floor, missing the playoffs four straight years, their reputation was stung by player arrests and misconduct, earning the team the nickname "Jail Blazers."

The turnaround started in earnest last year when the Blazers got LaMarcus Aldridge and Brandon Roy in the draft. Roy, the personable face of the franchise, went on to be chosen the NBA's rookie of the year.

Then Portland won the draft lottery, landing the rights to the top pick. At a party the night of the draft, fans showed up in droves at the Rose Garden, chanting "Oden! Oden!" and celebrating at center court when the selection was made.

Despite being hampered by a wrist injury at Ohio State, Oden averaged 15.7 points and 9.6 rebounds last season as a freshman. He led the Buckeyes to the national championship game and had 25 points and 12 rebounds in the loss to Florida.

On Thursday, Oden had microfracture surgery to repair cartilage damage in his right knee. He is expected to miss the upcoming season.

"There has been so much excitement about the anticipation of this young team getting out on the floor and playing in front of our fans and the national market," coach McMillan said. "To know that Greg wouldn't be with us, it was disappointing."

As for fans who bought season tickets, there were about 20 requests for refunds or cancellations Thursday. The team does not offer refunds.

But Blazers president Larry Miller said the team was already generating excitement before Oden, and he's confident it will continue without the 7-footer.

"I think fans felt good about the direction this team has been going, and I think the things Kevin and Nate have done over the last couple of years have really gotten people supportive of this team, and I don't think that support is going anywhere," he said.



MICHAEL JORDAN ROOKIE HIGHLIGHTS: Is that Sam Bowie at 5:48?

For the Blazers players, it was all still sinking in.

"We were all very disappointed, but more for him, because this was his rookie season and he had a lot of pressure on his shoulders," Roy said on the team's weekly radio show Thursday night. "And we knew he couldn't wait to get out there for his first game."

Radivoj Korać bi zaradio HEADLINE promašenim bacanjem…

Dražen bi udahnuo, izdahnuo, bacio duuuuuboki pogled iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii…ABSOLUTE KILLER…samo mu dajte bacanje da obori još koji scoring rekord…

Dževad Alihodžić bi u 75% slučajeva promašio drugo bacanje…nitko me ne može uvjeriti da se to nije moglo ispraviti i tako usput popraviti momčadski rezultat…

Njegov trener Aco Petrović je izuzetnim scoutingom u Barceloni predvidio da će Sasha Volckov promašiti oba presudna bacanja u zadnjoj minuti…

Radilo se o scoutingu protivnika. Ne rade li ekipe scouting kandidata za svoj roaster anymore these days??

Hej, nije li to Jurica Golemac promašio 2 bacanja pred svojom publikom za Goodyear titulu, prije 2 sezone??

I don't care radi li se o Rančiću, Pennu, Marceliću(dužan barem jednu otvorenu tricu protiv Efesa), bilo kome. Ali zabiti svako bacanje u zadnjoj minuti susreta je A-P-S-O-L-U-T-N-I M-U-S-T u ekipi koja je imala itekako izraženu F4 kandidaturu…

Statistički gledano ipak je barem malo nevjerojatno da je 2. tricaški najpreciznija ekipa Goodyear lige, tek 9. u preciznosti sa Linije..

Svako malo čitam:

Gdje su nestala stara dobra vremena?? Nemojte mi govoriti da je teško pogoditi sa 5 metara od koša, nemojte biti smiješni, ne živimo u '76…

Michael Jordan teaches you and gives you some pointers on how to be a better free throw shooter. He said that the freethrow is the second hardest shot, next to the fadeaway. He brings some good points.


Svaki polu-amater kojega znam može zabiti 75% bacanja kada je zagrijan…recimo rekord mog kvarta drži ex-Golemčev suigrač iz juniora Zrinjevca, Ronald Petković, sa 117 uzastopnih. No pressure?? 37 stupnjeva u hladu Cvjetnog, cca. 01.07.1994….Čovjek nikada nije igrao seniorsku košarku, osim kada bolje razmislim nešto malo za Don Bosco..

Sigurno i vi imate neku sličnu kvartovsku Legendu sa Linije...

Dakle, vrhunski igrač, jedne vrhunske ekipe, EU ili NBA, trebao bi ni manje ni više kotirati oko 80-90%, pogodaka naravno…

Reggie Miller, Mark Price, Calvin Murphy najbolji su izvođači aslobodnih bacanja u NBA povijesti, ali su poznati kao još bolji izvođači u clutch, no-miss situacijama, onda kada je bilo najteže i kada je najviše trebalo…

Samo pitajte 'tatu' Jordana, samo ga faulirajte…

I da se razumijemo ne radi se ovdje samo o Ciboni. Tomasova izgubljena lopta protiv Španjolaca nikada ne bi ušla u povijest, da smo zabili neka bacanja(i otvorene šuteve) prije…

A tek u Švedskoj, gdje su se i Muline i Popove ruke pretvorile u Tkatchenkove..

Dakle uvrstimo izvođenje slobodnih bacanja u apsolutni vrh kriterija prilikom izbora potencijalnih članova svoje ekipe, da kasnije ne bi bilo nismo znali…

Nema slučajnosti ako se zna i ako se vježba.

Pitam se što bi Ante Kostelić napravio igraču koji promaši slobodno bacanje u zadnjoj minuti presudnog susreta sezone…



Rekao bi Slavko Cvitković..

High five,

ROZIĆ vs. SISKAUCKAS: Tjedan dana nakon zlata vrijedne pobjede nad Domaćinom, naši jurišaju na 7-0 "visoke" Litvance

From the very begging,




Some decided to sacrifice their summer, and to have their faces washed by blood and sweat nearby beautiful adriatic town of Selce, during 2 month span, a zatim se valjati u rezultatskom blatu Španjolske...



Some decided to play children's games with sometimes naive croatian sports public...


I decided to cheer for the first until the very end - you all know that it ain't over until "Fat lady sings"...


Ma što god čuli od TV-komentatora večeras imajte na umu da ljestvicu ne postavljamo niti mi niti oni, već je ljestvica u ovom sljučaju bila postavljena prije samog natjecanja.

Jasko je znao: Primarni cilj je medalja, sekundarni Peking. Sredstva se nisu birala.

Gotovo savršeni scouting rasporeda, protivnika i razvoja situacije omogućio nam je da dospijemo sasvim blizu zone medalja.

Ako je netko očekivao da će za Hrvatsku igrati "Jordan-Giriček-Pippen- Kukoč-Vujčić", vrijedi stih "ako nekog boli glava, nije trebao doći na more".


Offence wins games, defence wins championships!!!

MINIMALNIM NAPORIMA NAPRIJED: Domaćini dobili Izrael, naši na Litvance...

WHISTLER'S MOTHER: Naši su svoju igru uneredili gore nego što je Mr.Bean gornju sliku, ali što je tu je - Repeša ima 2 dana za "krpanje", a onda slijedi četvrtfinalni "to be or not to be" dvoboj s umornijim iz večerašnjeg ogleda Slovenaca i Litvanaca...


NAŠI PREŽIVJELI UTORAK, UŠLI U FINAL 8, POJAVILI SE NA YAHOO/SPORTS/NBA
Greece, Croatia advance; Spain rallies over Israel to top group at European Championship


MADRID, Spain (AP) - Greece clinched a berth in the quarterfinals of the European Basketball Championship Tuesday with an 85-67 win over Portugal, while Croatia advanced despite an 83-70 loss to Russia.

Spain rallied from a 13-point first-half deficit to beat Israel 99-73 and put the Spaniards atop Group E.

"We reacted very well, raised our intensity and finally came back, but it wasn't easy," forward Jorge Garbajosa said.

Spain will face the winner of Wednesday's Italy-Germany game in the single-elimination round Thursday, while Russia, the runner-up in Group E, will play France.

Croatia will get the winner of the game between Lithuania and Slovenia, the tournament's two remaining unbeaten teams, on Friday, while defending champion Greece will play the loser.

Spain took control midway through the third quarter when Garbajosa converted his second straight 3-pointer to help turn a 57-56 deficit into a 64-57 lead. He finished 4-of-7 for 12 points.

Pau Gasol led the world champions with 26 points while Jose Calderon had 15, including a pair of 3-pointers.

"This was good news because it was important that we stayed relaxed on the court and we never panicked," Spain coach Pepu Hernandez said.

Andrei Kirilenko scored 20 points, as the Russians, who led by only four points after three quarters, stretched their lead to nine early in the fourth after a 3-pointer from Zakhar Pashutin and a layup by Kirilenko.

"We woke up and played a beautiful second half," Russia coach David Blatt said. "We probably have no chance (against France) but we'll go out there to win."

Blatt said the key to stopping France was thwarting Tony Parker.

"Best to limit (Parker) some and not let him help his teammates," Blatt said. "When his teammates get going, there is no way you're going to beat the French team."

Dimosthenis Ntikoudis scored 17 points and pulled down nine rebounds as the Greeks dominated Portugal inside while hitting 10-of-18 3-point attempts.

"We are not afraid of anyone," Vassilis Spanoulis said. "Greece has proved in the past that (it) can come through in the most crucial games and to be great you have to win big games."

Greece guard Dimitris Diamantidis was 3-for-4 on 3-pointers and finished with 13 points, while Spanoulis added 10.

Joao Santos led Portugal with 17 points.

Portugal led 17-16 after the first quarter, but the Greeks capitalized on turnovers and moved ahead 45-34 by halftime.

"We've been a surprise and against Greece today we kept dreaming," Portugal forward Elvis Evora said. "We go home with our heads up, very proud of ourselves."

Israel started 13-of-18 from the floor and led 29-19 after Lior Eliyahu banked in a jumper in the final second of the first quarter.

Meir Tapiro opened the second with a 3-pointer to give Israel its biggest lead, 32-19.

But playing in front of a boisterous crowd, the world champions rallied.

An Alex Mumbru 3-pointer and a Gasol dunk helped cut Israel's lead to 48-47 by halftime.

Spain dominated in the fourth quarter, outscoring Israel 25-5.

Eliyahu was one of three Israeli players to finish with 15 points.



EUROBASKET 2007: RUSSIA vs CROATIA 11-09-2007


Russia's defense in the second half forced some erratic shooting and several turnovers by Croatia, which played without injured guard Marko Popovic.

Davor Kus scored 17 points to lead Croatia.

"We lost our concentration, made many mistakes and conceded too many fast-break points," Croatia coach Jasmin Repesa said. "These are strong teams and if you lose your concentration against them, they will punish you."

Kus hit a 3-pointer to give Croatia a 39-32 lead late in the half, but Russia rallied and Kirilenko's flying dunk with seconds to play cut the deficit to 42-41.

Russia jumped ahead 50-47 in the third, but Mario Kasun put Croatia back in front 54-53 before the Russians took control for good.

On Wednesday, France plays last-place Turkey.

HRVATSKA JEDNOM NOGOM U ČETVRTFINALU: uz blijedu igru, 2 od 5 pobjeda, 33.5% šuta za tricu, I AKO ŠPANJOLCI DOBIJU IZRAEL...

LAZAROS PAPADOPOULOS: naša centarska linija je doslovno preko noći uspjela transformirati grčkog antijunaka sa mizernih 29% šuta iz polja u $uperheroja koji šutira nevjerojatnih 47%...



NADA ZADNJA UMIRE...
8 RAZLOGA ZAŠTO JOŠ UVIJEK NAVIJAM ZA HRVATSKU


1. Prkačinov spin-move. Još uvijek učinkovit, upali barem jednom protiv svih protivnika down-low..

2. Twin Towers: Kasun & Barać. Iako je ovu taktičku varijantu skrivao kroz prve 4 utakmice, Jasko nije mogao odoljeti Kasunu na centru i Baraću na power forwardu. Grčku su iznenadili zonom, mogu „pojesti“ za doručak bilo koga, unatoč tome što Kasu očigledno fali Vujčić na terenu...

3. Najniži je najbolji! Prvi strijelac ekipe je s nevjerojatnih 17.8 poena 6'0'' visoki Marko Popović. Odlična vijest za sve rjeđe pobornike popularizacije košarke u nogometnoj državi.

4. Balanced scoring. Ako niste primijetili čak 10 od 12 igrača naše selekcije je na prosjeku većem od 5 poena, čak četvorica iznad 10 poena.



1984 - USA OLYMPIC TEAM vs NBA ALL STARS: The scene was Phoenix, AZ. This was the 8th game in a series of exhibitions for the Olympic Team. The Olympic squad won 84-72. this game gave a glimpse into things to come from some of the players from the class of '84, which was dubbed the Greatest Class in NBA history. The game also featured established greats such as Alex English, Magic, Isiah, Walter Davis.


5. Four guard rotation. Iako je jedini istinski play Kule kojega je napokon krenuo šut, Planina, Roko i Pop su do sada dokazali da mogu igrati protiv bilo koga i pogoditi od bilo gdje.

6. Marko Tomas is alive!!! Saga o povratku se nastavlja danas protiv Rusa, vidi se da je željan dokazivanja, da zaslužuje stepenicu više u svom košarkaškom životu.

7. Clutch time shooting. Naši su i protiv svjetskih prvaka i svjetskih viceprvaka demonstrirali da im u žilama ne teče Babić (kao meni) nego tekući dušik. U potpunosti kontroliraju zadnju minutu susreta, ako ne i dvije. Za sada nema promašenih slobodnih bacanja u tom vremenskom segmentu, što je iznimno važno kako za rezultat, tako i za naša srca i glasnice.

8. Jasmin Repeša za kormilom. Suci ga respektiraju, protivnici ga respektiraju, tu je da iz momčadi izvuče maksimum MINIMALNIM NAPORIMA. Za sada u potpunosti uspijeva.

EUROPE WELCOMES: Dajuan Wagner & Šveđo...

DAJUAN WAGNER HIGHSCHOOL MIX: Dajuan Wagner high school mix credit to Zell production. Originalno objavljeno na ovim blog prostorima prije godinu dana.


Prokom Trefl Sopot has completed its roster for the 2007-08 season with the addition of combo guard Dajuan Wagner, who inked a one-year deal with the perennial Polish League champion. Wagner (185, 24) has been severely slowed by numerous injuries in the last three seasons, in which he only managed to play a total of 12 official games. Wagner had suffered from colitis, or inflammation of the colon, and had his entire colon removed in October 2005. Before that, Wagner was a high school superstar in New Jersey, averaging 42.5 points his senior year, including a 100-point game effort. He then joined the University of Memphis, averaging 21.1 points in his freshman year right before heading to the NBA. Wagner, whose father Milt had a successful professional career in the NBA and Europe, was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers, and even though he averaged 13.4 points and 2.8 assists in his rookie year, health problems such as a bladder infection and colitis kept him sidelined most of the time. Last season, he played just one game for the Golden St. Warriors. He is now ready to complete a remarkable comeback with Prokom.

BUSINESS TRAVELER CLASS: DAMIR MARKOTA a.k.a. ŠVEĐO...


As for The Šveđo,

Riki će ipak morati malo pričekati. Nakon sporazumnog raskida radnog odnosa u Milwaukeeu, na redu je snimanje remakea filma "Sjever, sjeverozapad". Opcija "Cibona" je OUT at this very moment, neslužbeno saznajemo.

Tko zna, možda će ga treći hrvatski član Kuće slavnih, nakon nastupajuće epizode proglasiti "najboljim krilom u Europi"?? "Možda.", napisao bi kolega Bertičević.

Najboji centar u Europi danas bi trebao imati relativno laganu zadaću dokazati ovom naturaliziranom Grku da je možda ipak trebao zadržati rusko državljanstvo...

Jedan od razloga Šveđinog povratka na Stari kontinent je i dolazak kineskog krila Yi "dunk-on-me" Jianliana na njegovo radno mjesto. Naime, Jianlian je prije ovogodišnjeg Drafta bio projiciran kao najnoviji Warrior.

Što se dogodilo?? Kako bi zadržali financijski sve zahtjevnijeg Dona Nelsona (5.1M US$ annually), Warriorsi su u Bobcatse ispratili J-Richa, te preskočili Jianliana.

Na kraju je "nastradao" Šveđo. Teorija leptira - U Kini leptir zamahne krilima, u Americi se rodi lavina, koja je ovom prilikom završila u Europi.

Šveđo, blame it on the Nelly...

REPEŠINI VELIKI HAKLERI: Jedna pobjeda do Četvrtfinala, Dvije pobjede do Pekinga

AKO (OPET) PROPADNE, BITI ĆEMO GENIJALCI...


APEL HTV KOLEGAMA
Pokažite više vjere!!


Cijenjeni Slavko i Nevene,

With all due respect, molim Vas da prestanete 'brijati krivo i od svake naše utakmice svojim komentarima stvarati tragikomičnu amorfnu masu...

Dakle dok sam ja kod +4 za Španjolce (81:77), u pijanom stanju (priznajem) usred "Feraxa" drukao za hrvatski niz, jučer saznajem da ste Vi ste već potpisali poraz od 4 razlike...

Sva sreća da Vas nismo slušali i čuli u tim trenucima.

Igra se totalna košarka, trči se više nego ikada, niti jedna ekipa nije u Španjolskoj slučajno.

Pa čak niti Izrael, koji iz dana u dan dokazuje da je u zaista izvrsnoj formi. Od "balkanskih" ekipa nisu pobijedili još samo Sloveniju.

Još uvijek smo jednom nogom u četvrtfinalu od kojega nas dijeli samo pobjeda protiv Grka (nedjelja) ili Rusa (utorak).

Zatim slijedi slobodan dan (ili godina), neka bude što bude, ali uljepšajte svojim komentarima zbivanja na terenu u sljedeće dvije utakmice protiv zaista fantastičnih košarkaških protivnika.

Na redu bi trebale biti poslastice za košarkaške sladokusce, a ne muke po Repeši...




ZOKI PLANINIĆ WALLPAPER by HRC


Put je cilj

Put je cilj, uživajmo u košarci, ne razmišljajmo o propuštenom. Siguran sam da Jasmin Repeša previše ne "razbija glavu".

Ne vidim razloga zašto sve vidite sivo, i stalno iz konteksta izvlačite nekakve duhove prošlosti. I ako eventualno ne prođemo stalno ćete se pozivati na Latvijce i Izraelce, i krenuti u potragu za krivcem, bez nade u bolje sutra.

Pa zaboga, ova Jaskova vrsta je prije dva dana "skinula skalp" SVJETSKIM PRVACIMA ŠPANJOLCIMA, i valjda ima pravo na (još jedan) loš dan. Shit happens.

Znam da ne možete puno utjecati na to što će Jaskove trupe napraviti na terenu, ali svojim pozitivnijim komentarima (barem kada stižemo rezultat) možete pomoći da napokon probuđena košarkaška nacija (još) pozitivnije razmišlja i reagira za vrijeme i poslije utakmice.

Ostale su još dvije meč lopte, molim Vas da prestanete širiti svojevrstan defatizam u ovoj fazi natjecanja.




Ako i dalje ne planirate vjerovati u izabranu hrvatsku košarkašku vrstu and generally in croatian basketball, te kao jedini privilegirani nastavite širiti negativnu vibru putem TV-etera, zamolio bih Vas da prvim avionom napustite pirinejski poluotok.

Bojim se da nećemo u četvrtfinale, zapravo to nismo niti zaslužili. Pa realno smo bolji od Izraela barem 20 razlike.

Čujemo se u subotu.

EUROBASKET 2007: Croatia vs Latvia feat. Biedrins (19.00 CET)

VEČERNJI LIST 01-09-2007: PREVIEW EP-a u ŠPANJOLSKOJ 2007...


MOTIVATIONAL SPEACHES: TONY D'AMATO
This given monday...

I don't know what to say really.

Three minutes till the biggest battle of our professional lives.

It all comes down to today. Now either we heal as a team, or we're gonna crumble. Inch by inch, play by play, till we're finished. We're in hell right now, gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here, get the shit kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb out of hell.

One inch at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.



I'm too old. I look around, I see these young faces, and I think... I mean I've made every wrong choice a middle-aged man can make. I pissed away all my money, believe it or not. I chased off anyone who's ever loved me, and lately, I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.



You know when you get old in life, things get taken from you. That's part of life. But you only learn that when you start losing stuff. You find out life's this game of inches. And so is basketball. Because in either game, life or basketball, the margin for error is so small. I mean... one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow too fast, you don't quite catch it.



MOTIVATIONAL SPEECHES: ANY GIVEN SUNDAY "PEACE BY INCHES". My heart, in words. The background music in this is "Peace", by Paul Kelly.




The inches we need are everywhere around us. They are in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make the fucking difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!



I'll tell you this - in any fight, its the guy whose willing to die who's gonna win that inch. And I know if I'm going to have any life anymore, it's because I'm still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because that's what living is! The 6 inches in front of your face...



Now I can't make you do it. You've got to look at the guy next to you, look into his eyes. Now I think you're gonna see a guy who will go that inch with you. You're gonna see a guy who will sacrifice himself for this team, because he knows when it comes down to it, you're gonna do the same for him.



FIBA AMERICAS: TOP 10 PLAYS FROM SEMIFINALS...


That's a team, gentlemen.

"SUPERKOŠARKA", BROJ 19...FIBA AMERICAS: Puerto Rico na Amere, Argentina vs Brazil

Vodeći košarkaški magazin SuperKošarka većinu rujanskog broja posvećuje Eurobasketu u Španjolskoj.

Uz intervjue s reprezentativcima Marijom Kasunom (lice s naslovnice), Rokom Ukićem, Lukšom Andrićem, prostor je posvećen i svim skupinama Eurobasketa, detaljnoj analizi svih hrvatskih igrača te kratkom pregledu prošlih prvenstava.

I super-posteri su posvećeni reprezentaciji Hrvatske tj. dvojici ponajboljih igrača, Mariju Kasunu i Zoranu Planiniću.






Uz intervju s novim članom Kuće slavnih Mirkom Novoselom, predstavljeni su i svi ostali članove Klase 2007. koju predvodi vlasnik devet NBA naslova Phil Jackson.

Uz to, u novom broju mogu se pronaći priče o najboljem igraču Latvije Andrisu Biendrišu, zatim NBA legendi Bobu Cousyju, o zvijezdi Lakersa i najvećem pojačanju selekcije SAD-a Kobeu Bryantu, novim Boston Celticsima predvođenih pojačanjem Kevinom Garnettom i još nekoliko zanimljivh tema.

Za SuperKošarku pišu i bivši reprezentativci Hrvatske, Danko Cvjetičanin i Veljko Mršić.
