Coach we love poking fun at Calathes but a big part of blame is on Greece coach. I don't want to get repetitive but he made a terrible job at rotations (or lack thereof)

if we used Dimec and Zagorac, you could use Pappas a little more. tiredness and tension is really no excuse, especially with 3 free days.

Russians not once came back into the game like this in this tournament it just shows their tough character...

If you can't beat this Russian team you don't deserve anything..Blowing such opportunities away year in and year out is simply brilliant.

Both teams clearly made huge bets against them. Impossible to watch.

Calathes looks like Jason Statham

At least Lthuanians and Croatians, supposedly serious medal contenders, are worse than us.

Sloukas came back to earth. Role players like him usually do after career performances in their previous game.

It was perfectly fine to watch, go watch an all star game if you didn't like it, maybe it suits your taste more.

You are used to watch your completely unsuccessful team and you have very high standards

Congrats to Russia for their win.
Too many missed free throws and zero contribution from players coming from the bench was the reason for the defeat. For the Greek NT the tournament was not a disaster but certainly not a success. I hope that with a better coach and more importantly with Giannis in the team, we'll finally get a medal in the next tournament.

Russia won because at the end of a game there must be one winner. If a possibility existed of both teams coming out as losers, Greece and Russia would have found it.

37, 36, 36, 34 and 33. The minutes our 4 starters plus Bourousis played.
There is no dropoff in quality that big that can remotely justify this. If you exclude Bogris and Thanasis -who has energy to spare- all our players play on the same club level, have the same experience level, are more or less all roleplayers in their teams with some having a little bigger role (Printezis, Calathes, Sloukas). We went into this tournament without an undisputed leader but at least lack of depth was not of any concern. Instead that's what did us in.

Even russians are saying how bad the game was in terms of quality, but are happy with the character the team showed.

Greece seemed pretty much exhausted during the last 15 minutes. I mean, Missas payed 35 mins with five players. Not even seven or eight players. And Greece has a very deep bench. You can't win a game on this level with five players playing 35 mins on average. Not in this basketball age. It was obvious the Russians were more energetic in the final quarter.

Missas is very dangerous, I hope tomorrow those who picked him are going to step down along with him.

Of course it was the good defenses that made this game a bit ugly!!!Russia scored 101 points at the last game! The one against Croatia, the game most of you thought Croatia was going to win!And this shows how smart these teams are, not how stupid!

The game was absurd, both teams played awfully, and the funniest thing is that we managed to win in the greek style - after a tough comeback and in the last quarter. Well, beautiful or not - it's a win and we are in the 1/2. And Shved once again showed how unrelible he is. I am glad the team can overcome this, too.
