Here's our EC 2013 qualifying schedule: vs. LATVIA (H) vs. NETHERLANDS (A) vs. GEORGIA (H) vs. ROMANIA (A) vs. LATVIA (A) vs. NETHERLANDS (H) vs. GEORGIA (A) vs. ROMANIA (H) --------------------- I like it, especially since we end our campaign at home with an assured two points. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Btw, if anyone has ever wondered about our b-ball history, here it is (note --- we've never qualified for the FIBA World Championship or the Olympics, but have made it to Eurobasket): EC 1993 - 8th out of 16 teams EC 1995 - did not qualify (eliminated in last round of qualifying) EC 1997 - 15th out of 16 teams EC 1999 - 15th out of 16 teams EC 2001 - 15th out of 16 teams EC 2003 - 15th out of 16 teams EC 2005 - 15th out of 16 teams EC 2007 - did not qualify (elimanated in last round of qualifying) EC 2009 - did not qualify (elimanated in last round of qualifying) EC 2011 - 17th out of 24 teams So, we've qualified several times (seven to be exact), not bad if you ask me. And if you're wondering how we got eighth place in 1993, well we can thank Nenad Markovic, EC 1993's leading scorer (25 ppg). Here are some videos on him - [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSMhP_mkCAI&feature=related"]Neno rastura Hrvatsku u Skenderiji! ? - YouTube[/ame] [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ndw_U7aXLcU&feature=related"]Trica Markovi?a za pobjedu BiH u Splitu ? - YouTube[/ame]
Sinanović postaje bh. reprezentativac! Živim za dan kada ću zaigrati u dresu reprezentacije naše zemlje, kazao je Nedžad Sinanović.... Visoki centar Malage (222 cm), Nedžad Sinanović u skorije će vrijeme konačno zaigrati u dresu košarkaške reprezentacije naše zemlje. Do dogovora je došlo nakon posjete u Zagrebu gdje je Nedžadov tim igrao euroligaški meč sa Zagrebom. Rođeni sam Bosanac, ponosan na svoje porijeklo i čast mi je biti dijelom naše reprezentacije. Zadovoljstvo je stati rame uz rame uz ostale sjajne igrače koje ima Bosna i Hercegovina.Sretan sam zbog uspjeha kojeg je reprezentacije BiH ostvarila na EP u Litvaniji i nadam se da će moja igra doprinijeti još većem uspijehu na EP u Sloveniji 2013., kazao je Sinanović a potom dodao: Živim za dan kada ću zaigrati u dresu reprezentacije naše zemlje! --- Great news.
not bad we need more bosnian in the NBA hopefully our team can get notice and players stand out with this extra addition
Reading your sentences puts me in the state of mind of a mentally challenged person. Work on your grammar sir. And our players don't need to go to the NBA to be successful. Thats not the problem, the problem is that countries like Slovenia and Turkey are snatching our young talent and the rules are set up in a way that favors them.
I defnitely agree, we don't need NBA players, we need players who play in good European leagues and can help out the NT Anyways, now with the addition of Sinanovic, here's what our lineup should look like to me: PG - Vasiljevic SG - Domercant SF - Dedovic PF - Teletovic C - Sinanovic BENCH: Kikanovic Bavcic Bajramovic Hodzic Gordic Kapelan Ikonic Varda* * = if he returns (if not, we can replace him with Tuljkovic) The starting lineup is very good, all the starters play for great clubs especially Teletvic (Caja Laboral/Spanish League which is second best to the NBA). Also, we have some depth on the bench in Hodzic, Bajramovic, Bavcic, and Gordic. Then the rest are decent role players.
I'd rather start Gordic at PG to be honest.. Vasiljevic is so experienced but I think at his age he should come off the bench for us. Gordic gives us that tough defensive presence and he always protects the ball well, and doesn't try any risky passes/assists.
I absolutely love watching basketball, but I can't stand Eurobasket or any of the european contests. The style of play is dreadful. All it is in Europe is a 3 point shoot out.
Thats not true man, its not just the 3, its just a more important aspect of the game. For me personally, the NBA is vastly superior but the European game is becoming more and more competitive.
Europe is ahead in America in terms of fair calling (obviously we see a disadvantage for average players vs super stars) But america in play overall blows Europe away.
Of course. The athleticism in the NBA is out of this world. That's the modern game now anyways. Its more about athletic ability. That's why a lot of European players struggle in America. They're labeled as soft if they don't compete to their terms.
Teletović srušio Barcu Još jednom izvrsnom partijom Mirza Teletović je svojoj Caji Laboral donio pobjedu, ovaj put u derbiju s Barcelonom... U derbiju kola španjolske košarkaške ACB lige Caja Laboral je na svom parketu svladala Barcelonu rezultatom 71:60. Najbolji pojedinac na parketu ponovo je bio naš Mirza Teletović. Za 37 minuta provedenih u igri Jablaničanin je upisao 16 poena (71% šut za dva poena, 50% šut za tri poena) te 7 skokova i dvije asistencije te s ukupnom valorizacijom 24 bio bez konkurencije najučinkovitiji igrač utakmice. Prema službenom rankingu ACB lige Mirza Teletović je s prosjekom od 16,8 poena i 7,83 skoka osmi igrač ACB lige (prosječna valorizacija 17,9). Momčad Duška Ivanovića trenutno dijeli treću poziciju s Unicajom i Alicanteom, sa pobjedom zaostatka u odnosu na vodeću dvojac Real i Barcelona. --- So happy we have him.
So, 'll do a "Bosnians Abroad" but for basketball. Here's how the Bpsnians did in Euroleague (I'll include Bosnians playing for a NT other than Bosnia): Mirza Teletovic - 13 pts, 7 rbd (this is a bad game by his standards, lol) Emir Preldzic - 9 pts, 2-7 shooting Bojan Bogdanovic - 19 pts, over 40% from two/three pointers Nedzad Sinanovic - fell out of rotation this game so DNP (very surprising) Henry Domercant - 16 pts, 5 rbd, 2 ast
Nice update bro. I like seeing player summaries instead of look for random articles on sportsport.ba. Thanks.
Bosnians Abroad for the Week Our NT captain Kenan Bajramovic put up some great numbers in his team's 84-74victory over Mersin (he plays for Banvit BK). - 21 pts., 4 rebd., 6/6 free throws One of our NT centers Edin Bavcic played great for his Greek club, KAO Dramas. He won player of the week. - 25 pts., 13 rbd. Mirza Teletovic, the best player on our NT, led Caja Laboral to an 80-79 victory with these stats - 21 pts., 7 rbd.
Aco Petrović sve bliže preuzimanju košarkaške reprezentacije BiH Aco Petrović potvrdio je da opet pregovara s Košarkaškim savezom BiH o preuzimanju bh. reprezentacije, piše Index.hr. "Nije nikakva tajna da sam već duže vrijeme zainteresiran za vođenje reprezentacije BiH, koja ima niz izvanrednih igrača. Mogu potvrditi da je opet bilo preliminarnih razgovora s predstavnicima Košarkaškog saveza BiH, ali se finalni razgovor još nije dogodio. Hoće li do toga doći, ne znam. To je na ljudima u Sarajevu da odluče. Moj interes u svakom slučaju postoji", rekao je Aco za Dnevni avaz. BiH mediji pišu da su Acini financijski uvjeti prihvatljivi te da je među kandidatima pokazao najveći entuzijazam. U narednih desetak dana savez BiH trebao bi održati sjednicu nakon koje se očekuju i njihove službene izjave. Petrović je jednom već bio nadomak klupe BiH, ali tada je odluka pala na Sabita Hadžića koji je ekipu vodio na EP-u, piše Index. Petrović ima bogato trenersko iskustvo, a njegov karakter mogao bi razbuditi BiH ekipu. S hrvatskom reprezentacijom nekadašnji trener San Fernanda, Caprabo Lleide, Włocławeka, Carifac Fabriana, Zadra, Cibone i Cedevite osvojio je broncu na Eurobasketu 1995. godine. Fascinating, this is the brother of Drazen Petrovic I believe, a great man. I don't think Sabit Hadzic is cut for the job, this man would do a great job. Sve najbolje
Actually, instead of reading off Wikipedia, read the article and it says that the man who has managed "Petrović ima bogato trenersko iskustvo, a njegov karakter mogao bi razbuditi BiH ekipu. S hrvatskom reprezentacijom nekadašnji trener San Fernanda, Caprabo Lleide, Włocławeka, Carifac Fabriana, Zadra, Cibone i Cedevite osvojio je broncu na Eurobasketu 1995. godine. (Dnevnik.ba)" Those are the teams that Aleksandar "Aco" Petrovic managed. Not Aco Petrovic the Serbian. This one is the brother of Drazen who managed Croatia.
