Winning this one, Slovenia has realistical chances to end up as 1st in the group, Greece could really use a win to advance though.
 
very important game. not only for slovenija and greece, for us to, if greece beats slovenija and we lose against italy, i see disaster coming :(
 
Beware of the referees the greek federation proved very powerful with +22 FTA advantage against σπαιν!
They still have power...

Also, beware of the Dragons flying there. I have info that the greek federation will use them as well along with the referees. Slovenia better recruit some Paladins.

Ther were dark times then for GL.
We had inner problems about the high priest.
Anyway we killed two of the other rivals for the position and we are back:p

Better to use dragon slayers.in case of spain "flooping dragon slayers" ;)
 
Greece is the favourite in this game for me. At least on paper, because they have better players on almost all positions, except maybe first pg, where Spanoulis is equall to G.Dragić in my eyes.

But... Slovenia plays at home so I expect a close game where anything can happen. I expect better games from Blažič (he played bellow his capabilites so far) and Lakovič to contribute a little bit more than in previos games. If Greece can manage to conect Spanoulis game with their forwards, Greece can win this game. The forwards of Greece are a mismatch for Slovenia, especially in offense, because Slovenia can hardly match them defensively.

Z.Dragić said after the game yesterday that noone can beat Slovenia if they continue to play as connected as a family. He probably meant literally :), because Dragić bros were unstoppable against Italy... Well noone can match the intensity of Z.Dragić in defense and in off.rebounding that is for sure.
 
The key clearly for greece to win the game is the RBs.
Slovenia is a better team in this area.if the greeks control it and take the def.reb they have many chances.
(And of course continue to play defence)
 
Dragic isn't by any means unstoppable,I agree.But when you can't stop Kopponen,Dragic should be feared imo.It's not that Kopponen is a bad player,quite the opposite,he's a really great ball handler,but losing a game to him is just beyond imagination.Anyway,the thing is that if Dragic dictates the game and is not defended as closely as Rubio,Calderon and the other Spanish,we're gonna lose for sure.I'm pretty torn about this game.We definitely have the quality to easily get past Slovenia,but the crowd and our bad defence can destroy us.Let's see what happens.
 
Slovenians seem to be berserkers at home, but Greece has high morale after defeating Spain and still need victory to survive.

I vote for Greece.

And not only kopponen
Did you see yesterday bellineli?the man lost the game for italy.was pathetic.and we managed to make him a hero.i have nothing with bellineli.but i dont like his gaming at all.against us was like a rapist.
So we cant and we dont deserve to speak about easy dealing with dragic for god shake.

I agree with you about Dragic.He's a good player and when you've lost to Kopponen you absolutely MUST be cautious with him.Belinelli is that kind of unstable player though.He can make them all or miss them all,so it didn't really come as a surprise to me.
 
Mavrokefalidis is out of the rest of the tournament....
So that means Greece will be playing with only 2 C for the rest of the games (even if mavrokefalidis isn't really a C).
Fotsis will probably take more time now...
