Greek NT 2024

[Victorious]

Bad draw considering how trash groups A and B are.

Horrible draw. Spain is once again at the Olympics.

[fasoulaki]

All the money spent for nothing...

So Giannis vs Doncic ha? I mean Doncic will destroy the Greek backcourt but the front court of Slovenia is almost trash.

It depends on how deep run Bucks make in the Nba. Luka will be home pretty fast, if Bucks make Finals or at least ECF, I doubt we will see Giannis. So, go Bucks.

If Giannis is healthy, he will be intrigued to play against Doncic, especially when qualification for Olympics is on stake.

It's very difficult, physically and emotionally, to play long playoffs in Nba and immediately after that play another Fiba tournament. Giannis is abusing his body with his style of play and has some long term problems with his knees already. And he needs to be 100% in Fiba competition to make impact. Saying that, Greeks with Giannis at home would be big favourites.

No way he’s committed otherwise the chance of Greece hosting this with Giannis being questionable is close to zero.

He might be committed now, but do you really believe, that he can play Finals and be emotionally and physically prepared for an important tournament in 10 days time?

[R1ou]

Definitely

Definitely

I don't. It's just too long season to be reset in 1 week playing with totally different group of players and different rules. Lucky for Greece is, that Bucks are not looking very convincing.

I don't.

Me neither.

Dallas had a disappointing season last year, however Doncic did not manage to win Greece without Giannis during preparation period. So, I don't really know what to wish for the Bucks..

4 months off, a friendly game, few days after he joined NT...

I can assure you that every Slovenian basketball fan will hope that Bucks make the Finals.

Well, I hope Doncic has set 7/7/2024 as his wedding day, so he won't be available for the final game

This sounds more like wishful thinking rather some valid argument on his participation.

He ll be playing even if the Bucks go all the way and play in finals game 7 which I think is set for June 19th or something
