Serbia lost 93-85 to Slovenia(40% of the lineup are Serbs), but I won't whine they lost. They made it this far, without Miloš Teodosić, Nemanja Bjelica, Nemanja Nedović, Nikola Kalinić, Miroslav Raduljica, Marko Simonović, Nikola Jokić and recently retired Stefan Marković. Without these injured players or with Jokić that decided to focus for the upcoming NBA season, everyone just contributed on offense/defense.
Stefan Jović got hurt during the Semifinals clash with Russia, may have signaled doom, but Srbija won't give up, even taking the lead in the 4th, until Slovenia rested half-Serb Goran Dragić, leading to Klemen Prepelič and Anthony Randolph wreaking havoc.
Kudos to Bogdan Bogdanović, Milan Mačvan, Stefan Jović, Vladimir Lučić, Marko Gudurić, Branko Lazić, Stefan Birčević, Boban Marjanović, Vladimir Štimac, Vasilije Mičić, Dragan Milosvaljević and Ognjen Kuzmić for giving their very best, and making sure Srbija will go home with a medal and winning the hearts of everyone of us that believed and loved Srbija, all the way!
Never put your heads down, it is just a sign of better things to come for Srbija. Never give up, Srbija will get gold medal in the future, I assure you and all Serbs out there!
Bravo Momci, Idemo! Živeli Srbija!!!
