FIBA WORLD BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIPS

[GS1905]

Here's my top 10 basketball teams in the world

1. USA

2. Argentina

3. Spain

4. Lithuania

5. Greece

6. Italy

7. Serbia

8. France

9. Turkey

10. Germany

Greece is better than Lithinuania

The rest looks ok

add Jasikevicius to this team and you'll see the Lietuvosi right behind US & Arg.. ;)

How many times has Greece beaten Lithuania in there national teams history?

Only once, that does not make Greece a "better" team.

Never mind the past. We are better than them now. If we play LTU 10 times, we will beat them 7 times, with or without Jaskevicius.

As far as USA, their best individuals may not be there, but that doesn't mean their best team is not there. They can make any excuse they want; they used to lose when they sent the college guys, now they are losing with their pros. NBA is a s%$#! league, in my book, all about individual flair and ego, not real B-ball.

I'm glad Hellas won Euro last year vs all those NBA stars (Kirilenko, Parker, Diaw, Nowitzki). We were the only ones with no players actually playing in the NBA (Fotsis was drafted, and now Spanoulis too, but they don't actually play). I'm glad Tsakalidis is not there, we sucked big time in Euro '03 with him at centre. Lazaros is better.

Nick99, I picked the way I say it is. I still think Lithuania is a better side than Greece. That victory came at a price (with 21 missed FT), in the future Greece might be a better side than Lithuania, who knows.

lithuania u say is better but the only thing that matters is which team won...basketball is about bringing it every game and lithuania couldnt do that, soo, WE are the better team...we win the ones were supposed to and win the close ones , we never give up and we play till the final buzzer..thats a team that can go all the way......

[billydagreek]

we really need to get at least 70% of the free throws in and start hitting some 3 pointers, if we're gonna win this game!

hi mates

I am a Turkish living in UK and was wondering if there is any free stream on the web for Turkey-Greece game. I know I missed the first half but it would be nice to see the second half.

PS: UK channels are rubbish

[dark_horse]

Try fiba.com's Video Broadband.

[coldylan]

Try fiba.com's Video Broadband.

Thanks dark_horse. Fiba.com does not seem to be free but might be considered for forthcoming games. I am sure one of those Chinese stream sites serve it free. Anyway, good luck for the rest.

Greece seems to get the game. I was looking at the Turkish squad. Where the hell Ilyasova is? Any idea? He is the most talented player in Tr team. I hate this Yugoslavian coach and his weird decisions.

[dark_horse]

Who's Ilyasova? Does he play in the NBA or in Europe?

[dark_horse]

69-67 Greece needs a run now!!!!
