    The whole thing though may backfire badly for the hosts;
    A. I am certain that the Greek players will rise to the occasion and put heart and guts to their game. As more the crowd is hostile, as more it would fired the Greeks.
    B. A lot of pressure to Turkey's players. On every shot attempt they would feel as the whole ground hanging from their shoulders....

    I believe that the offensive part is almost working for the team, as somebody put it; they scored 80+ points in every game! No doubt that Fotsis and Sofo would raise it even more. The challenge IMO is to improve their defence. Even slightly. No more open shots, no huge space in our paint. Just a bit faster.... The secret in Diamantidis, he is not playing as normal.

        this case reminds me the football game ... we had the feeling that we would "take apart" the turkish team for the same reasons (national celebration ) but finally we all remember what happened

          you are talking about Tunceri, Onan etc. as they are from some asian/african team not being able to take care of the ball..
          and they are surely not..

                  I'm not saying they are not good players, or don't have potential. But there is a difference between good/very good and World class..

                  If you could choose, who would you pick? Tunceri or Diamantidis? Onan or Spanoulis?

                  My statement was that according to the current form and specialties of the match, Turkey has an advantage. But the experience and -to my humble opinion- better quality of the Greek guards, may shift the balance towards Greece. Hope that's clear now...

                    True

                    I'll say Turkey by +7

                    I think Greece will win this if they manage to secure several of the following, in order of importance:
                    - They seriously beef up in the defensive end
                    - They improve FT and FG alike
                    - They start improving the transition
                    - They manage to get a steady +8 to +12 lead that will anger the impatient fans and perhaps players of Turkey
                    - The refs play as equal as humanly possible under the circumstances

                      very very difficult game for Greece for known old mention reasons
                      on the other hand this is the final before the final since this game may bring you even to the final.

                        "The worst part is wondering how you’ll find the strength tomorrow to go on doing what you did today and have been doing for much too long,where you’ll find the strength for all that stupid running around,those attempts to escape from crushing necessity,which always founder and serve only to convince you one more time that destiny is implacable,that every night will find you down and out,crushed by the dread of more and more sordid and insecure tomorrows.~Céline

                            If Tourkey does not win with a big difference (e.g. +10 or something), which IMO is not very likely to happen, Greece will win the game at the end.
