Iran vs Jordan vs Lebanon vs China

[lebanese-anti-khatib]

Best 4 nations.

China beat lebanon by 3 and jordan by 6.
Jordan beat lebanon twice ( jones cup, fiba asia 2009)
iran beat lebanon ( jones cup)
jordan beat iran ( jones cup)


Now 5th i would place korea. Then 6th qatar, 7th phillpines and 8th taiwan.
9TH/10th japan/kazahkstan.

lets move to talk about the top four. who do you think is best out of it?

jordan didnt beat iran in Jones cup

[lebanese-anti-khatib]

Jordan has statistics. that is number of wins.
but look at their scoring vs conceding.

they are + 55. while lebanon is + 109. Yes jordan won lebanon. but lebanon beat the other countries jordan faced easier + stood against china better.
china is + 81. iran is +108.

could be iran faced easier oponents then china lebanon. so they are + 108. but for lebanon they been the best demolishing force.

our team widthrew in that game, they almost killed each other hehehe

After all is said and done it's still the Chinese who runs away with a clear cut number one seeding.

After that, Iran, Lebanon and Jordan are so close you'd wish the battles they'd be having are best of seven affairs.

Korea and Philippines, in that order but not so distant.

this comparison is meaningless..
let's not confirm these 4 teams for the semis but i think this is the probable thing
in this case i think its 25% for the for teams. any of them can be crowned. maybe china could be even out of turkey if they played like today and yesterday and the other teams knew how to end the game (we saw jordan and leb going to the last minutes very close but china knew how to end it only).
and yes this is the best semifinal ever i guess.

obviously it is still China -- with Yao, they are at an entirely different tier, without Yao however, they are more at par with tier 1 teams (LIB, JOR, IRN) but STILL convincingly better.

LIB and IRN have yet to face in this tournament, but on a good night, i think LIB is the best of the tier 1 teams...

IRN has not been too impressive. i think being defending champs helped them a lot to intimidate other teams, but without that, they might not have fared well...

tier 2 teams are still not out of the tournament though and might still be able to score an upset:
PHI
KOR
QAT
CT (by a long shot)

man he didnt say that jordan faced easier opponents
he said lebanon won the same opponents that jordan won over in an EASIER way i.e. greater margin . he said about iran that faced easier OPPONENTS .
yet this comparison is meaningless imo
chill out guys the tension is so high here:P

the semi final between lebanon and china will be tight..lebanon will play with high spirit knowing they played well and almost did it ,china will be under a heavy pressure from its nation and press and the presedent him self loool.but on the other hand lebanon might be under a heavy pressure (home court advantage,croud,mental status,etc) while china will be energetic and will play their best game to prove they are legit and still thebest in asia.

iran vs jordan game if ever to be played with out surprises in QF wont be any easier than china vs lebanon.
