  • italy-poland 88-72

    we won against a poland that played without many key players like kelati,gortat and scwescwick,so beli played a biggest fourth quarter with 22 points of his 30 at the end...i didn't see the game,unfortunately nothing big 3 even today I hope to see them in the next tournament in Rimini to see how they integrate together,i also hope that pianigiani decides the hierarchy of our playmaker,in this torunament vitali played very well i think he could be in the final rooster,we'll see...

          • Kelati joined to the staff just before the tournament in Nikozja so Pipan decided that he didn't play... for sure Kalati will be ready for the tournament in Rimini

            Szewczyk will join the NT today... recently his child was born

            Lampe decided that after very good season in Russia, he is tired and want to spend more time with his familly so in this year he won't play...

            The Polish Federation has many problems with contact to Logan

            The insurance for Gortat is still not ready but he was with NT in Cyprus

            • Man, Kirilenko had a monster game vs Greece. Hardly any greek player could get up a clean shot when he was on the court as everyone was afraid to get blocked again.
              Russia was impressive, very big and strong team. Good interior defense with Kirilenko and Mozgov (altough Mozgov isn't that good and usually gets quick fouls). But you don't drive to the basket easy here. If Khryapa recovers in time Russia will be very strong defensively in the frontcourt and Shved and Khostov showed really nice playmaking.

              Sanchez, Ginobili, Basile, Kukoc, Sabonis

                  what is wrong with european national teams these days? logan, kelati are polish?

                  it was easier to ask Lihuania to lend Darjus Lavrinovic... he's got a fitting name

                  I'm afraid the championships in the future will be so dull americans, australians, puerto ricans will lead most teams i got chills just thinking about it

                        • simply you don't know about basketball anything..

                          Anyone that says Nick Calathes is more talented than Sloukas knows nothing about basketball IMO. And there is so much delusional viewing of where Calathes is at his age from most Greeks.


                          first of all,the fact that you say that shows that you are disrespectful...i'm from greece and i know every player,i have seen almost all of the games of calathes and some of sloukas..YOU ARE FROM GREAT BRITAIN SO YOU KNOW BETTER THAN ME ABOUT LUOL DENG...calathes is so much better from sloukas.sloukas is a different player that dishes assists,plays defence only to the play maker and can shoot better than nick,nick is more <free>in defence,a player with missions such as the game with barcha,opposite to navarro,he is simply very talented at offence,can create a free pass and finish with a lay up..FURTHEMORE,ITS BLASFEMY TO SAY THAT DIAMANTIDIS IS OVERATTED..HE IS THE BEST PLAYER IN EUROPE KNOW AFTER DIRK AND PAU..sry for my bad english..but i'm greek and i know much more than you for the greek players and teams..

                            First of all, Papanikolaou is the most overrated Greek player, beside Diamantidis.

                            Sure, he is athletic, he can dunk, he is a great defender, good rebounder, shot blocker, and a good stand still shooter (although not so much from 3 point range).

                            So what? That plus nothing else makes him just a good player and nothing more. He can't dribble. He has no offensive game. No offensive ability. He can't create his own shot. No scoring ability.

                            Kostas Papanikolaou is the same player as Panagiotis Vasilopoulos, except that he is not as good. He is a less talented version of Vasilopoulos. Vasilo is all the same type of player, but bigger, more athletic, more versatile, a better shooter, a better defender, and he can post.

                            Amazing how the same Greeks can always complain about Vasilopoulos when he was on the team, and just endlessly praise Papanikolaou when he is training for it. Even though Papanikolaou is just a poor man's Vasilopoulos.

                            Big freaking whoop. The level of overrating and nonsense hype about him in Greece is almost as ridiculous as the same BS in Spain about Ricky Rubio. Just hyped up young European players that are young and talented, but not even 1/10 as good as they hype says they are.

                            Secondly..........Sloukas or Nick Calathes... Calathes is a good young player and will get better. Sloukas is still a bit too young and needs some more time.

                            With that being said, Sloukas is more talented than Nick Calathes is. It's really funny reading all this nonsense from so many Greeks about Calathes all the time in this forum.

                            Anyone that says Calathes is more talented than Sloukas simply knows nothing about basketball. I would take Sloukas 100 times out of 100 over Nick Calathes going forward in the next 5 years.

                            Greeks are getting to the point of ludicrous and irrational overrating of Calathes.

                            He's "better than Spanoulis, Papaloukas" etc. Funny, how no one says "better than Diamantidis". Yeah, because even ones with Olympiacos avatars saying this nonsense are really PAO fans.

                            We have some saying Calathes has "better court vision than Papaloukas". I swear, if you said this in any European basketball circle, you would be laughed out of the gym.

                            Nick Calathes, while very talented himself, is not the talent of Sloukas. Sloukas has serious talent.

                            Anyone that says Nick Calathes is more talented than Sloukas knows nothing about basketball IMO. And there is so much delusional viewing of where Calathes is at his age from most Greeks.

                            The fact of the matter is that Nikos Zisis was a hell of a lot better than Nick Calathes is now when he was at the same age.

                            In short, Papanikolaou and Nick Calathes are ridiculously overrated in Greece. Sloukas is underrated.

                            What a shock. Not like any Greek point guard that could be better than Diamantidis is automatically universally underrated in Greece or anything. Not like this isn't standard MO or anything.

                            You can really see who has played the game and who has not, when you read some comments here.

                            • Are all the big guns from both France and Spain expected to play tonight? I'm guessing a lot of limited minutes to their starters?

                                Really man? I know you're greek and, of course, you tend to slightly overrate your own players and there's nothing wrong with that.. but just think about it... Do such names as Kirilenko, Fernandez, Teodosic, Kleiza, Krstic, Parker, Noah, Calderon, Deng etc. etc. etc. mean anything to you? Diamantidis is great but when we talk about THE BEST everyone mentions Gasol and Dirk - they are really THE BEST ... and the other (lets say 20) including Diamantidis, are very very good

                                Peace
