Croatia Goes With Hot Hands as Bogdanovic Sits in Fourth Quarter

Croatia is 2-1 in FIBA Eurobasket play after Saturday's win over Montenegro, but Bojan Bogdanovic played only a small role. The Nets second round pick scored only six points, all in the first half, on 3-for-5 shooting (0-for-2 on three's). Late in the game, Croatian coach Josip Vranković benched Bogdanovic, who played two minutes in the fourth.
One reason may have been the stellar play of Ante Tomic, the Reds' 7'2" center who scored 26 as his teammates repeatedly found him open underneath, and Marco Popovic, who filled in for Bogdanovic and hit seven three pointers. Tomic, whose rights are held by the Jazz, did his damage against Nikola Pekovic of the T-wolves and Nikola Vucevic, drafted by the 76ers in June.

It's not easy to find such a big finesse big man like him nowadays
Great offensive game, great pasing abilities and great BBIQ.
Bring the NBA back! :(
Toward the end of the show Artest said he’d been hearing encouraging news from the latest round of labor negotiations taking place between NBA commissioner David Stern and the players’ association in New York this week.
“A week ago I expected us not to play until January (or) February, but now I have a good feeling we might have one on time,” he said. "It seems like we might possibly have a season. I’m hearing progress in these last couple days. I haven’t heard this all summer. I’ve heard people not even talking, going to meetings, showing up.
“But now I’m hearing some very good things and I’m very excited.”
mannnn i hope hes right

It seems quite obvious after todays game...
That we should trade Brook Lopez for Tomic and Bojan for Popovic. Plus thoriw in our #1 2012 pick.
"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven"
All we need from Bojan is to be a solid bench guy
Not going to be a superstar or allstar and dominate every night so I’m no worried.
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
