This group looks pretty clear cut. Macedonia and Russia just have beat Georgia and Finland respectively to advance while Greece and Slovenia look well poised to make it to the quarters.

Greece x Georgia is the key game, and watch out for the finnish they are playing good basketball.

Yep. Greece against Georgia is huge. Greece is of course a better team, even this crappy version of the Greek team, but in no way in hell is a win over Georgia any guarantee.

You are ridiculous.

Greece could easily beat teams like Lithuania, Germany, Turkey. Spain? No. France? Probably not. They could beat any of those other 3. Not saying they would, or would not.

But it would be no different than a 50/50 against Lithuania and Turkey, and Greece could beat Germany with hardly breaking a sweat even.

Slovenia and Russia can beat any team from the other group, including Spain. Again, not saying they would, but they certainly are capable of it.

I don't think Germany is even any better than FYROM.

If you really think that no team from that group can beat any of the teams from the other group, then you are just a complete noob about basketball.

I never said anything about Turkey being the worst team in their group.

Last year does not count. Only American NBA fans count that tournament to have any meaning at all. Turkey was reffed in their favor by 80/20 in every game except the final.

For god's sake, the refs took away a 3 point shot at halftime in their game against Greece after spending about 5 minutes reviewing it on video. This aired lived on TV and there was like 2-3 seconds on the clock when the ball went in the net.

They showed it on TV for minutes on end over and over as the refs kept staring at the replay..............then they just waived off the basket all of a sudden and said it was no good.

The refs stood there and watched Tunceri step out of bounds in the game against Serbia at the end.........stood there and watched it, looked down, almost even motioned to it, from the replay the ref clearly looked right at it and reacted by his expression, then they just stood there and never blew the whistle and counted a made basket for Turkey to advance.

Even after it was reviewed by the FIBA officials at the tournament they said that he did not step out of bounds and Serbia was just making up nonsense complaints...........

That whole freaking tournament was a complete joke. USA and Turkey were literally hand delivered to the final by the refs.

They even switched the brackets right before the tournament to ensure a match up in the final. Anyone that takes any result of that tournament last year for Turkey seriously is totally freaking delusional.

Turkey was given 80/20 reffing in every game they played except the final. You are completely kidding yourself if you think anything different. The refs were on a mission to help them in every game.

Even at the group stage the games against Puerto Rico and Greece were blatantly rigged by the refs.

Yup.

Finns haven't had a _GREAT_ shooting night here yet, though. During the last few years, Finland has been able to defeat many world class teams: France, Serbia, Italy etc. during these matches we shot like 50-60% beyond the arc. So there is more to come. :bowdown:

Legadue is not a bad league though. Most people don't realize it, but the second divisions in Italy, Greece, Spain are stronger than the first divisions in several of the other European leagues.

I mean, for example, in Greece teams that are near at the bottom of the first division, can make the top 16 of Eurocup (Panellinios), and those same teams in that general level (8-12 place of Greek first division) are often beaten by second division clubs during the Greek cup. Hell, even mid level first division clubs get beat by second division clubs in Greek Cup.

And, the disparity in Legadue might even be less than from the two divisions in Greece. Of course there is no Milano or Siena, no teams like that in Legadue, but nonetheless, there are good teams and players there.

Pachulia was their leading scorer before he got injured and only averaged 4 rebounds per game. To say don't lose much on offense is absurd. Shermadini has 0 points and is doing nothing defensively. To say they don't lose much without him is absurd.

The only reason they're staying close is Sanikidze's great play. Macedonia looks lost on offense when McCalebb isn't on the floor and Antic is playing way too many minutes. He hasn't come out of the game once yet.

Not really...we're crazy about all our national teams but we terribly lack quality and results so have to satisfy ourselves by watching and cheering our handball teams.

This is the first time a major sport team has played at a big stage and actually competed like this.

There were over 50,000 people at our main square watching the European Handball Champions league final in 2002...mind you,the team was female.That should all but say about our fanaticism for our teams.If by some miracle we make it to the final there would be a national holiday instantly recognized and we would probably make Bo our president.:oldlol:

That's false claim...

Macedonia is an independent country. It's correct name is Republic of Macedonia, as the country's independence day is the 8th of September. There is part of Greece which is called "Macedonia" but that's clearly a way to suck their north neighbors.

Over 100 countries officially have acknowledged the name "Republic of Macedonia" where's FYROM is used in official matters (because Greeks will never accept the truth) and by Greece only.

There was once a big Macedonian country. Because they weren't a force in the beginning of the 20th century, Greece stole huge part of the country and have continued their anti Macedonian politics since the 30's.

That's pathetic, considering the fact that in old Greece, they considered Macedonians barbarians. They keep their politics going though since the 30's even to this day. That's the main reason why this problem has yet to be solved.

Outside of this crappy problem, the relations between the two countries are beyond great. Macedonians often go on summer vacations there, wheres the majority of Greeks come in winter to sky on the beautiful mountains and have invest in the country.

Actually, Macedonia agreed to a name change in 08 to Republic of Macedonia (Skopje) but the Greeks waste a huge historically chance to seal this thing like they did in the 90's, when they denied the existence of the country.

But now, there is will from both sides to get a deal. And Macedonians deeply inside know that without a change of the name, thousands of years old, they cannot continue further development as they're behind, poor and most go in foreign countries to make some money.

Republic of Macedonia, a modern country in southeastern Europe
Macedonia (Greece), a region of Greece

Germany beat Macedonia twice in preparation games and Germany will likely finish last in their group, while Macedonia finishes 2nd out of all 12 teams in the other section. Such BS. :facepalm

Greece beat Germany in preparation games and lost to FYROM in the group stage. What is your point?

The preparation games are totally meaningless. The USA is the only team in the world that takes them as serious competitions.

so if macedonia wins against russia they will likely play germany, turkey or serbia, if they lose they will play lithuania

Russia dominates the Greek Americans 83-67 to get to an undefeated 6-0. Mozgov lead Russia with 19 and Koufos lead the Greek Americans with 15.

Russia is beasting with only one center....Sasha Kaun on this team would have helped so much

Serbia, Puerto Rico, Spain, Argentina, Greece, Lithuania - they all beat Team USA's "NBA superstars".

I'm guessing it felt a whole lot less worse than those pathetic losses of Team USA did for most Americans.

Russia had some good success against Lithuania in friendlies, obviously it'll be much harder this time around, but I don't think they're worried either way. Serbia might end being a tougher matchup for Russia because of their bigs.

It'll be nice to actually root for Greece again. :lol

While not nearly as good defensively, Lithuania is way better offensively than Russia and I think they're way worse of a matchup for Macedonia. One of their best players, Gechevski, is probably out for the rest of the tournament and that pretty much leaves Samardziski, who himself is very mediocre, as their lone true center. I don't see how they can stop the Saras-Jonas pick and roll.
