[Day 1] Group A: Jordan vs. Greece

[fasoulaki]

All key players from 2011 are not with the team in Venezuela. Everything but a blow-out win for Greece would be a surprise.

Where can I find the official roster of the teams which are participating OQT. Seems there is no official website.

Hopefully Jordan NT can manage to present a fair fight, and i hope we'll be able to enjoy a good game of basketball.

Greece is gonna crush Jordan's ass +20 at least.

[uRAgan]

Hellas +20

[Victorious]

It all depends on how serious Greece will take the game. If they take it serious and play hard, then I see no chance for Jordan. If Greece starts soft and allows Jordan to gain confidence, then it can be a hard game.

21 point Greek lead after 1 quarter.. I just hope Jordan doesn't lose by more than 50 points at this rate.

[babdelkader]

Looks like Jordan began with great enthousiasme, Greeks are confidents.
Elias Zouros is coaching Greece, he used to coach in Lebanon years ago.

[babdelkader]

Is F. Najjar better than Rasheem Wright ???
WEIRED coachs !!!

[Psofimis]

Not even with Michael Jordan...

The ironic thing about this is that Jordan started better than Korea did against Russia. Unfortunately Greece plays faster than Russia does, and they're not missing anything.

Jordan will probably pack it in cause they got no chance in this.

[sinobball]

They are missing some key players from 2011 squad, such as Rasheem Wright, Islam Abbas and Zaid Al-Khas...

Also Wesam Al-Sous was a key player in 2011.

The game is even uglier than the Korean one, at least Korea forced some turnovers, Jordan just surrendered after 5-6 minutes. Hope for a better showing against PR.

all this money, which were spending for the trip of Jordan to venezuela, was sth like throwing money out of the window.
with such a weak team, they had to know, they they are to weak to reach one of the places. instead of this, they could play some friendlies...
it would have been better to stay at home, if they are missing their best players...

30 pts difference at halftime
