USA vs Slovenia – 2010 FIBA World Championships Basketball

The USA were able to break away from Croatia in the second quarter outscoring their opposition 26-6. They will be against much tougher opposition today in a Slovenian side who are better positioned to upset the Americans.

Goran Dragic will be a familiar name for the Americans after he rose to brief star status after a 4th quarter outburst against the Spurs in this year’s playoffs. Bostjan Nachbar is another player who’s seen plently of play in the NBA and will be a dangerous scoring threat throughout for the Dream Team. Primo Brezec should be a lot for Tyson Chandler and foul trouble could be a main talking point in this match.

The USA shot 40% from beyond the arc, and it will be an interesting to watch throughout the tournament and could essentially determine how successful the USA basketball team ends up being.

It’s hard to give any specific person credit for the USA’s team approach in defeating their opponents but Eric Gordon looks like he will be a serious threat of the bench with his game fitting the FIBA playstyle particularly well.

Will the USA keep their perfect record in the 2010 FIBA World Championships? If you plan to watch USA vs Slovenia FIBA basketball online, live streaming, or on TV- let us know your prediction for this match below.
