Slovenia are definitely the favorites in this game but I think they will have a much tougher task than the odds and margins suggest. Slovenia are the worst team at the tournament in rebounds and that is no coincidence . They do not have a proper center other than Omic and I think the Dutch are more than capable of taking advantage of that. The Dutch are dominant in rebounding against most of their opponents and I think they are more than capable of being better in that segment today as well to among other things, slow the game down. Besides, I think this is a chance for the Dutch defense that proved to be their greatest power in the Georgia game as well as the one against Macedonia, even though they conceded a lot of thre pointers but at the same time limited the opponents to under 80 points. Slovenia had excellent shooting in both opening games but still never went over 80 points. Zdovc talked about the importance of defense once again and I'm sure he won't ask for a fast pace. In a slow game with tough defenses, this kind of margin is more than acceptable since I don't think either team will go at 70 points.
