I think PR will pressure guards and defend well. We might surprise Russia and steal this one.

Wow, that's quite an interesting information. I wouldn't expect that.
Should be a good game, ending with a PR win.

It will be a close game, with a match between Fast and Big. Russia has a huge team tbh, but not too skilled. PR is very fast and wild. I don't know anything about the PR coach it will depend a lot on him.
I voted for PT.

They might be stronger tactically, but I don't think they are physically stronger. The PR team has a lot of beef at every position except PG and their PGs are extremely talented and, in my opinion, much better than Russia's PGs. They always have good defense, but PR is streaky on offense.
I'll pick PR to win by 5 points.

We have no coach, we do have a fat moron that sits on the bench, no one knows what he is.
