Day 3, Round 2 - Group F: Lebanon - Jordan

[judasmartel]

Winner of this game advances to the quarterfinals and face the Philippines or Iran in the quarterfinals, depending on the Korea-Kazakhstan game.

[Rico101]

I think the most important game of that day. Most likely the playoff picture will be clear

If given a chance id rather choose Lebanon than Jordan...why?

having toroman for jordan mins he knows our weakness and he will exploit it.

lebanon just came back and havent faced this revamp gilas squad and no one in their line up that can stop blatche
youngblood on the other hand cant be limited by norwood or ganuelas..

i dont see anyone that can catch castro or romeo.

no disrespect on lebanon...but phil up minimum 10 points

Plus it will be rematch between Coach Veselin Matic and Coach Tab Baldwin. Baldwin's Jordan team beat Matic's Iran team in 2011.

Also, if Jordan wins this game, Korea will probably try to tank the Kazakhstan game to face us rather than Iran. They have a better track record against us than Iran, and given that, you know what would they choose.

This is one match where there is no clear winner. It could go either way and let's not forget Matic and Toroman both know each other's systems and players.

My money is on Jordan because of their experience.

jordan only has 3 players who can trouble lebanon.

lebanon has played inspired basketball but does not have a go to player at crunch time. youngblood can be that guy.

this will be a great match up.

I like lebanon in this very close game.

[judasmartel]

With the Group E games over, the seedings in the group are already determined.

E1 - Philippines
E2 - Iran
E3 - Japan
E4 - India

I will be cheering for Lebanon today so that Korea will no longer have any incentive to tank their game vs Kazakhstan later.

Lebanon by 7. Go Lebanon! Beat Jordan!
