  • Group C, Day 1, Greece vs China

    First day in any tournament is always risky, are we going to see the first upset or Greece would simply be too good for China?

    Traditionally we beat them and i don't think we can play any worse after our last friendly. They are a good team though, and a defeat will hurt our progress badly. I expect to see our players determined to win it. 80% - 20% a Greek victory vs a Chinese victory.

      I agree, my only concern is by having Sofo out what if Bourousis injury does not allow him to play the first game! Without the big boys the game may not be as easy as many believe.

        China isn't what they were without Yao, I can't see this being especially close unless the Greeks completely overlook them. Greeks by 10-20 pts.

          I don't know much about the China NT except for Jianlian who is a decent player.

          The game I'm more worried about for the Greeks is the one against Puerto Rico. Without Sofo and Bourousis, I could see Greece struggling against Ramos and Santiago. Puerto Rico also got quick, creative point guards in Arroyo and Barea who could give problems to Greece.

            Is very possible that the bans for the Greek players would drop to one day as FIBA offered the appeal option

              China could give some problems to Greece if Yi was their go to guy on offense. I saw China on Stankovic Cup and their game is based on 3pt shots. Even without Big Sofo and Bourousis, Greece will win.

                I cannot even imagine how this can be a close game. Greece by 20+.

                  In the game against USA I didn't worry at all..but if this gets close then I will.I will SERIOUSLY start worrying.

                  Bourousis probably won't play.

                    Without Sofoklis other players must step up for Greece.

                    I think Greece gonna win this one.

                        Greece wins + 20. If China starts hitting those crazy consecutive 3 pointers like sometimes they do, greece wins +10

                          China doesn't have what it takes to win against Greece (minus 2 players). Traditionally against Greece, bringing the basketball past mid-court was already too difficult. China should capitalize on fast breaks and 3's to stay close, but most likely it'll be a blowout before halftime. Anyway Greece was never on China's "try to win" list with or without the suspensions.

                            China is incomplete this WC so I Think Greece has the biggest chance to win
