Hellas National Team

[Soprano76]

Team has been severely disappointing all tournament; Greece has been getting shitty coaches for several years now, despite their being a lot of great Greek coaches in the Euroleague. Also, the way the FIBA game is played neutralizes Giannis' biggest strength - his athleticism.

The Brazil game was our final it seems.

Game over at 103-97. We finished behind Brazil. Next round starts Saturday. We'll have to play the Americans and then two days later the Czechs. Because Brazil and the USA won all three games, we'll need to beat the Americans to stand any chance of making the quarters. The Turks managed to push the Americans to overtime, so it's plausible we could give them a run, but the odds are heavily against us.

We're almost at garbage time now (last couple of minutes of the game). Scoreline is at 91-83 for Greece.

[Amorgos]

Was only a matter of games until a team realized you just gotta shut him down. We better beat New Zealand otherwise it's another anti climax for the mens team at a tournament we expected something from.

I feel we are too reliant on alahakouboweweh.

They lost to Brazil yesterday. Giannis Antetokounmpo had one to forget. He was marked out of the game primarily by 39-year-old Alex Garcia! Brazil's Serbian head coach said he was more concerned about Sloukas and Printezis, and that he was aware of how to slow Antetokounmpo down after studying Milwaukee's semi-finals defeat to Toronto.

Not bad at all! I wonder if they can go all the way.

Hellas released its new basketball tops for the 2019 China WC. They honour the famous shirts of 1987. Very cool.
