Dario Saric isn't afraid to be critical of himself.
Croatia lost by just three to Serbia in the quarterfinals of the Rio Olympics Wednesday, and Saric is shouldering a lot of the blame for coming up short.
In just under 30 minutes, Saric was 3 of 7 from the field with three missed free throws and three turnovers. He's definitely had better games.
As Saric puts it, per Eurohoops.net:
I don’t know what to say. We have lost to Serbia again. And I have played like the biggest p—y.
Well then, Dario. That's pretty blunt.
Croatia still made an impressive run in the Olympics and their future seems pretty bright when you consider how young players like Saric and Mario Herzonja are.
Bojan Bogdanovic had this to say about the loss:
“We played the way we wanted during the first half. But then it was like a different came from the locker rooms. The third quarter killed us. They dominated, they shattered us with their press defense and transition plays. It was not a matter of fatigue. And I don’t blame anyone.”
A little more level-headed of a critique from Bogdanovic.
Philadelphia 76ers fans should love Saric's fire with these comments. His play in Rio was also impressive and when you combine that with a competitive nature, that may add up to him being a solid NBA player soon in Philly.
Dario just might want to clean up his comments when he comes to America.
