Antaeus7 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 (edited) Good effort by Greece Lost to France 95-87 Both times Greece cut the deficit to 6 and France just responds with 3s, kills off their momentum.

Antaeus7 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So embarrassing, Finland is beating Greece up so badly it's laughable. Regardless Giannis plays or not, their basketball team is hot garbage. The dark ages is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted September 5, 2017 Author Share Posted September 5, 2017 Yep. FT 77-89. The Poland game is crucial now. But then what? #1 of another group awaites.... Media are talking about the worst Ethniki of the last 20 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antaeus7 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Even if Greece are to beat Poland, they will likely face Lithuania. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antaeus7 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Russia beat Croatia 101-78 I am thinking that Russia will come into the quarterfinals thinking to themselves that they can beat Greece easily after they poured 100+ points. Sure, we remember when Greece did that against USA and in the finals, Spain shut them down to 47 points. I am going to believe that Greece will pull off another surprising upset.

Antaeus7 Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 Russia's head coach made a comment that is purely arrogant. He said ahead of the Greece - Russia game that we are not CSKA and that they don't have Spanoulis. OK, he didn''t mention Giannis on the team either? I hope Greece smash Russia real good.

Antaeus7 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 (edited) If you don't make your free throws, you cannot win! If you continue to shoot 3s and keep missing them down the stretch when your only behind by 2, you cannot win! Greece basically threw this game away! They did this 2 years ago vs. Spain, and now this! Greece blew a couple of double digit leads (13 and 11), that is not how you play basketball!!!

Blackhawk Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Very true. We controlled most of the game, but we screwed everything up at the end. When we had those double digit leads we should have ended it there. Instead we let them back into the game with poor free throws and poor choice of shots. Too bad. We could have easily advanced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dutch Eagle Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 For those interested how the Eurobasket 2017 ended. Slovenia won the trophy by beating Serbia with 93-85, thanks to a very good second quarter. Greece ended on the 8th place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
