Dominican Republic NT

[Dr. T]

This team has nothing to be ashamed of playing the USA and down 79-41 after 3 quarters. They are trying hard and could make the Olympics in 2016.

Dominican second-half turnarounds this summer:

vs. Mexico 42-40 43-27
vs. Jamaica 37-37 43-27

I am just watching a glimpse of a game from centrobasket Josean linked me to.
Dominican team is definately good. The matchup with Russia should be pretty interesting in case they'd take this game too lightly.

Still not sure their guards are good enough, but you have to say the DR has had a tremendous pre-tournament run with the win in Puerto Rico and then overcoming a lot of adversity to win in Venezuela tonight. Ronald Ramon hit a three from the corner to give them the lead late in overtime, a three to give them the lead again at the start over overtime, and then when Venezuela decided to foul him he hit all three free throws. Fitting that he closed out the game with a dunk after Torres missed a three. Elpidio Fotuna had a big second half just as in the Centrobasket final.

I'm sure they'd be winning by even more if Villanueva was playing though.

Dominican Republic 89 Jordan 80. Horford, Martinez, Garcia all DNP.

Angola-DR stats

Sosa and Ramon were back, Sosa played 7 minutes. Looks like Angola played their starters big minutes and outscored the DR 15-1 over the last 5 minutes.

Angola 72 Dominican Republic 67

According to the article DR was up 57-49 after three but played their reserves in the fourth. Garcia and Coronado didn't play, Horford another poor game with 1 point in 20 minutes, Martinez with 14 points in 18 minutes, Orlando Antigua coached the team as Calipari is in the US.

Between Centrobasket and this tournament the DR is playing 9 games in 11 days, is that really a good idea?

That's it

I don't think it's disrespectful anyway, that is some damn good chicken.

I think it was just a typo (auto correct) thanks to his cell-phone

What about Ramon and Sosa?

they'll replace Fermin and Soliver on VEN super4

Thats disrespectful

Juan Coronado really surprised me. Let's see if he's capable of holding his own against European guards as well. When I saw him back in 2010 in San Juan, he didnt look prepared at all. Morban was running the point together with Luis Flores.
What about Ramon and Sosa? Are they joining the NT back or will they stick to Coronado?
Fortuna did also pretty good, a difference maker on the team.

[PRSURF]

Dominicans beat Pollo Rico 80-72 to win Centrobasket, despite Horford shooting 1 of 11 from the field.
