What time is the greece/jordan match?

5 hours from now

[Sakkreth]

Top4 quite easily predictable, but upsets are always possible.

[Miller for 3]

Will these games be on TV or anything? Maybe ESPN3? Or will I have to use a crappy stream to watch

i suppose you refer to the european countries as top 4
but only 3 will make the olympics
and puerto rico and the dominicans might be dangerous too

[Colbertnation64]

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that Bo isn't really Macedonian and he wasn't good enough to get into the NBA but now he's the GOAT in Macedonian basketball history. lmao

A live scoreboard for the games can be found here:http://london2012.fiba.com/extSTATIC...ent=6229&game=

My predictions

Group A:
1. Greece
2. Puerto Rico

Group B:
1. Lithuania
2. Nigeria

Group C:
1. Russia
2. Dominican Republic

Group D:
1. Macedonia
2. Angola

Nigeria, PR and DR will all be tough outs and could upset one of the European team.

Yeah that's pretty much what everyone predicts.

Btw I can't believe Songaila made the roster

Why didn't Motiejunas make the team? He played well in the games I saw of his this season.

Songaila has really declined hard. This Lithuanian team is quite a bit stronger than last year's though with Maciulis and especially Kleiza.

[Cangri]

So there's only 3 spots left for the Olympics, then I don't see how anyone but Russia, Greece and Lithuania make it...
