1 - Philippines
2 - Iran
3 - Japan/Palestine
4 - Japan/Palestine
5 - India
6 - Hong Kong


1 - China
2 - South Korea/Qatar
3 - South Korea/Qatar/Jordan/Lebanon
4 - Qatar/Jordan/Lebanon
5- Qatar/Jordan/Lebanon
6 - Kazhksatan

How do u think each group ends? Who you wish to face quarters?
 
Group E
1 - Philippines
2 - Iran
3 - Japan
4 - India

Group F
1 - China
2 - Korea
3 - Lebanon
4 - Qatar

As much as I hate to see Lebanon face Iran in the quarters, I still prefer us to face Qatar in the quarters.

Thoughts?
 
1. Philippines 4-1
2. Iran 4-1
3. Japan 3-2
4. India 2-3
5. Palestine 2-3
6. HongKong 0-5

1. China 5-0
2. Korea 4-1
3. Jordan 2-3
4. Lebanon 2-3
5. Qatar 2-3
6. Kazkakhstan 0-5


Philippines - Lebanon

Korea - Japan

China - India

Iran - Jordan

I wouldn't want Philippines-Lebanon in 1/4, since I really like both as bball nations, but if everything will finish the way I'm expecting, it's most likely scenario
 
With Qatar winning today over South Korea everything is possible ;) So many different scenarios that it gives you a headache :p ...

Add the possibility that China might tank against you today to avoid Iran in the semis.
 
I'm not worried too much about who Gilas will face in the knockout stages. The competition, at this point in time, is almost equal. There are a few teams a bit ahead and some teams a bit behind, but everyone is capable of beating anyone. This might be the most competitively close Asian championship we've had in years.

FIBA Asia is slowly becoming more and more competitive like EuroBasket. Even the lower-tier teams can beat the higher-tier teams.

And also, 2015 is the year of the underdog. Just ask Venezuela.
 
The thing is, even China will not tank tonight, China can still tank tomorrow and achieve the same result.

Does that mean Qatar will try to tank as well? Here's to hoping Japan will pay them back in the quarters for trying to tank games. But really, Takeuchi alone isn't enough against the four 7-footers of China.
 
No one tanks , no one. Everyone will play its best, and beat whatever comes in front of them.
facing philippines isn't easier then iran.
 
Unlike in Group E where the seedings are "almost" determined, in Group F, anything is still possible. For instance, Korea as the no. 2 seed in Group F is still possible even after losing to Qatar tonight.

A Jordan win tonight over Kazakhstan, and win tomorrow over Lebanon (sorry, just stating possibilities) will give them a 3-2 record.

A Korea win tomorrow over Kazakhstan will also give them a 3-2 record.

A China win over Qatar tomorrow will give Qatar a 3-2 record.

That's 3 teams tied at 3-2 with one winning over the other. However, thanks to a 27 point blow-out by Korea over Jordan, and an 11-point win by Jordan over Qatar, Korea will most likely end up aw no. 2, Jordan no. 3, and Qatar no. 4. But that's just one scenario. Anything is still possible.

No idea. But I don't want Japan to face China in the QF. Japan is my second team here (not half-Japanese or anything. Just rooting for them). I want Japan to reach the semis (against Gilas where Gilas will hopefully stomp them :D ), and I feel like Japan will not be able to do that if their QF opponent is China. I think Japan will have better chance against Korea, Qatar, Jordan or Lebanon. It's not about talent actually but I think more on the mentality of the Japanese players that they cannot beat China. That's how I see things. So I am hoping that China will not tank its game against Qatar so I can see the "possibility" of Japan being in the semis (and OQT).

True, when a solid team like Chinese Taipei can only place 13 or 14 out of 16 teams, you know its damm competitive (Although the groupings had a part in it). You also have underdog teams like Qatar beating Korea, Palestine beating Philippines etc makes it all the more interesting.
 
I know this is very unlikely to happen but a 5-way tie is a possibility in Group E IF

India beats PHI,
Japan beats HKG,
Palestine beats IRI,

With the exception of Hong Kong, all 5 teams will carry a 3-2 W-L record IF that happens.

QF2: Japan-Qatar --------------->winner SF1


QF3: Iran-Korea----------------->winner SF2
