FIBA World Olympic Qualifying Tournament

[wardjdim]

Greece joining Spain and USA in a great group doesnt mean much, since the tournament starts a bit later, in the knock out stage...

Anyway, these three teams are the best in the tournament, with Lithuania, Argentina and Russia following them with top-4 chances

DEATH TO AMERICA

Is that you Osama??

[Fearless]

RAPED?

yeah no misstyping.. I've never seen any player in FIBA history defended in such a physical and "violating" manner: of course when one looks only at the stats and sees 20 ft attempted he thinks "buah.. star-treatment" but that's not the case with Dirk, he's hacked all the time.
The adjustment on Dirk must be technical not brutal, when you base your strategy on agressiveness and will of the defenders you'll get this:

a) foul trouble
b) dirk swishes his fts
c) you'll eventually let your guard down

I saw all the games I could catch, and you're biased, not only defense on dirk was ferocious, but there were also many non calls on Kaman in all 3 games vs brasil, croatia, puerto rico..

Maybe you should ask France to play better in international competitions. They have a lot of guard/forward talent but they can never beat the top Euro countries. And ask Tony Parker to not have ankle injuries every time a big international game comes up.

about more european teams in olympics - total nonsense. olympics are for the whole world, it's not open european championship. this year there'll be 6 european teams and people from other continents think it's at least two too many...

and about fiba rankings... i'm not sure about exact number, but they counting more than last 5 years, and just 6 years ago serbia won world championship. and moreover - their youth teams perform extremely well in all age groups, those are counted too.

Lebanon senior A is now weaker team than last year. This team already replaced 6 veteran star players to rookie players. Also without El Khatib and Vogel because of too older.
