This doesn't look like they don't care, I think they really want this game. I hope they win, I'd love a Greece-Turkey matchup, just for the hell of it. Just imagine the intensity of a knock-out game between neighours and rivals, even if Turkey has looked sharper thus far.

The game only decides who will play Croatia nad who will play Greece and at this point, I don't think anybody realy cares, both are dangerous, but beatable. With Dragic injured, Zdovc is too smart to risk overburning or even hurting Lakovic, so the only real bench warmer in this team, Klobucar, will get some minutes on the court and prove he's not ready for this level. Turkey will want to install some more confidence in their shooting and I think Slovenia will get killed and walk smiling from the field of defeat. Of course if Lithuana miraculously defeats Serbia, gloves are off. Slovenia will need a win, to avoid playing the very next day against Russia and they know they need the day off badly. I secretly hope this would happen, because it would be interesting to see how good the Turks would do against probably the best defence in this tournament. Most teams, except Serbia, tried to outscore the Turks, and that didn't work, and the bad shots yesterday were no coincidence, Turkey has some problems when defended well. So I expect Slovenia to win if Serbia stumbles. I think we can expect a bad game from Slovenia today and for a good reason.
