Go Team USA??? The FIBA World Championships

[King Tron 1]

so is it that no one cares, or that everyones convinced that USA is gonna win gold, cuz I don't see anyone talkin about this.


BTW at this point USA is beating Slovenia with their "C-Team"

[kempa]

yeah
that game is fuckin boring

[hectis]

I pay attention but to be honest I have not watched a game and yeah the game is boring that's on

[SL33]

i was about to make a FIBA-related thread, but never mind.



solid championship, USA, Spain and Serbia are strong contenders. French team is also solid, turkey's a host so..

[King Tron 1]

i don't like odom or billups on the final roster.

[King Tron 1]

I think that the original dream team could win gold right now if this is how the competition is gonna play.

[Dooch]

what? the original team was the best by far of all the teams and would smoke any other team. The 1992 team i'm talking about.

we (Turkey) finally beat Greece. we 3-0 and playing ok. Hedo played like shit but luckily the other players stepped up.

at this rate with Spain fucking up they, Greece and the USA will end up in the same bracket.

the game against Brazil showed that team USA will struggle abit against teams with a big and effective frontcourt. other than that the US are still clear favourites. I dont see any team really beating them.

[King Tron 1]

so team usa beats tunisia. i found it funny when they said one of their players looked like a chemistry teacher. and what's up with everyone on that squad havin a unibrow?

[HANZO]

the US has a very easy journey to the Semi-Finals. the best teams they can face in the semis are Argentina or Brazil.

With Greece losing on purpose today to avoid the US, and France losing to New Zealand (also a game where i think the French folded). that moved Greece and Spain to the other bracket. Even the Russian coach said the Greeks didnt play to win, everyone was pissed off with that game. I think the French also did the same thing. its a fucking world championship and teams are throwing games away to avoid the USA.

For Turkey well so far we have been very good. our massive frontcourt has abused everyone so far and we have been the best defensive team in the tournament (which is shocking). we will probably lose in the next round to France though. but up to now along with the US we have been the best team in the tournament.

[Dirty Knowledge]

The NBA B-Team is gonna go undefeated. Brazil had the best chance to beat us. We won't even let another game get that close.

[King Tron 1]

i would say that the game against russia was due to fatigue, and they still won

[Dirty Knowledge]

Word? I didn't see that one. But the one versus Brazil was close. U.S. has got it either way. And unlike FIFA, the world knows we will dominate so it's not a big deal.

[King Tron 1]

my bad i meant brazil, wtf not even close

[Dirty Knowledge]

Yeah that game was close. Dude who missed his FTs at the end and rebounded his last miss shoulda chucked a 3.
