    Always ends with a game of us missing 99% of 3 pointers.

    Made us sweat at the start of the Turkey game but we were much better in the second half (Q3,4)

    They are in the final of their Olympic Qualifying bracket against the Czech Republic today. They came back against the Turks and ended up having a comfortable win.

    I think Hellas will win, Czech won’t be able to contain Greece’s size in the post with Papa G and Mitoglou.

    Rick Pitino will be the new coach:

    Pitino told reporters Friday that he will begin coaching the team for the Olympic qualifying tournament in June. Greece will be one of 24 teams playing for four Olympic bids during the June 23-28 event.

    "Obviously it's a great honor for me to accept this position, and I'm looking forward to it," Pitino said. "I'll spend most of the winter, once the brackets are announced, studying the film and we'll go to work."

    How many times have we said that over the years?

    The loss to Brazil was the nails in the coffin for us.
    Yea the Brazil game was our final. They were dazed by Hellas first half of the game, no idea how stop conceding. That is when I stopped watching. Later heard they came back - couldn't believe it..

    Pretty poor in the US game, we had our chances to score points but kept rushing shots, not taking them when we should and as a result our shooting percentage was dreadful

    If we beat Czechs by 12 we are still in it but I don’t think we will, besides Yiannis and only 2-3 others seem up for it. The US blocked centre court so Yiannis couldn’t run in

    Brazil game was very ethniki.. self sabotage second half. If I was not aware of the history of greek capitulation in these key games i would assume greece threw the game vs Brazil.

    vs the US we were always underdogs.

    We're as good as out. The USA took the game 69-53. They dominated the 2nd quarter, allowing only 8 points. Greece couldn't recover after that.
