pao123 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 guys!!! come on, european championship, why do we neglect the bball so much!! i missed the first win vs bosnia by 9 points but was able to watch the game yesterday vs finland (81-61)... with players like spanouli and diamantidis out, we will need a super team effort to win the trophy...but, if anyone can do it, we can :gr: :gr: we play macedonia on 3/9, montenegro on 4/9 and the biggest test of the group stage, croatia on 5/9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcp Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 macedonia? You meant to say FYROM right? I just found out they lost to them the one match that should have never been lost, sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The2ndMouse Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 That stupid loss to FYROM and the point difference is something that we unfortunatelly carry with us to the next round group ... and in case of equal points can mean they will have advantage ... we need to do very well against Slovenia now to have our fate in our hands and regain momentum...

athinaios Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 If they were going to lose a game, that was the one to lose. On the other hand, I still don't think this team has gelled yet. If they finish in the top 6 it would be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS1905 Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 FIBA clearly needs to re-check and revise the draw and seeding system for EuroBasket competitions after this competition. :nono: Simply, 24 teams for a continental championship is too much, when this continent has 9-10 good and/or great teams. Also, having gathered hosts and third-placed in the World Cup last year Lithuania, World runners-up Turkey, defending European champions Spain, European runners-up Serbia, a consistent 4th-6th finisher France and Germany in the same pot while organising a Balkan championship in the other pot, FIBA clearly did not do a very good job in terms of drawing the 6+6 groups for the 1st and 2nd rounds. :o It's a no-brainer to say that the 4th placed team in Group E will be the favourites of the quarter final clash with the winners of Group F... Can you imagine Serbia v Slovenia or Turkey v Makedonia?? :blink: And unless Greece are on their 120 % day in their qtr-final match whoever they play against, all the qualifying teams from Group E will advance to the semis dead easy... <_< This draw has been superbly mean to Group E (Group A & B) teams..

pao123 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 with the brave win today we are picking up steam...still i believe this team is alot weaker than our previous NTs. Lets hope they pull out a huge team effort and keep going strong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irlandos Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The team is weaker because many players are missing. Can you imagine ... Turkey v Makedonia?? No, but I CAN imagine Turkey v. FYROM :rolleyes: (Kill them!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS1905 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The team is weaker because many players are missing. No, but I CAN imagine Turkey v. FYROM :rolleyes: (Kill them!) Is that all you get out from the whole message?? :P :not: Does anybody seriously know why Bo McCalebb is playing for them? As far as I know, he's never played in their basketball league, right?? :huh: Without him, they won't fare any better than Finland or Poland..

GS1905 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 This is surreal!! Macedonians have eliminated the host nation in the quarter finals after a great team effort!! A 7-man rotation is in the semi finals of EuroBasket.. That could be happening for the very first time!! Bo McCalebb :nw: :nw: :nw: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpos Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 We're in for a new thriller against the french 43-40 after the 3rd qt. 3-point shooting is beyond bad...however, calathes managed to sunk one to take us in to the 3-point lead :gr: PAME HELLAS :gr: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tihio10 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Greece loses to France 64-56 :tdown: They now play Serbia for fifth place in the tournament. They really couldn't get it together in the fourth quarter, with France having a 17-5 run against Greece to just further their lead. Oh well.
