2010 3rd FIBA Asia "Borislav Stankovic" Cup [Aug 7-15 Lebanon]

[wilo22]

if they choose Ghazir to host this tournament ,all the teams will suffer from trafic ... specially if Teams choose beirut hotels haha if the game was @ 5 they have to go from 2 to arrive to the stadium ... hahhaha
in my opinion they have to choose Pierre Gemayel Close doors Stadium
this stadiums is verry good and located in Beirut ...
hope they change the decision and take a stadium from Beirut , we will have problems to arrive there specially with the traffic :S

this the official logo of Stankovic ...

i think that like waba u-18 the teams will be at madison hotel jounieh. they will train in fouad chehab 30 seconds walking from the hotel and 10 min by bus to ghazir stadium.

group B is the group of death.even the iranian team in group A is the "B" team!
i think jordan is our only threat in this tournament the rest of the teams will be easy especially that we will be playing on our home court and with our fans.

Is Jordan the wildcard team? I've read numerous sites and they all reported that the wildcard team is still to be determined.

[Jalaa_Syria]

Syrian Federation is thinking to withdraw from the tournament

[c_d]

If Syria withdraws, who can replace them? Palestine? UAE?

I guess no need to replace Syria , as the group will be of 4 teams + no time to call new teams

If the Syrians withdraw, I would like to have South Korea be given the extra slot.

I hope the Syrians would stay.

even if its the toughest group ever ( imagine it was like that in the ABC lol) i think its way better for phillipine to play against wc caliber teams then to face iran team B and kazakhestan. as for lebanon those teams are still way weaker then the ones we should be facing before the wc.

yup not the same caliber of wc bound teams, still it is a nice exposures to the lebanese as well jordanian squad.. coach baldwin can use this tournament to gauge their strength and weaknesses..for joradan it is a welcome development after they canceled their original work plan before the worlds

[TrueBluePinoy]

If Syria withdraws then the entire Group B will already qualified for the quarterfinals.

There's a possibility that we will withdraw in this tournament.
