Who lives with the three will die with it too. This will be the hardest or lets say one of the hardest Eurobasket competitions of all time. A good...

First, you need a third scoring option. Something like Randolph 2017. Dragic looked good but he is 36 years old. Shortly said, the team depends too...

This has nothing to do with the prep game.

This Turkish team is strong but still has weaknesses. Especially defending the five against strong fives is a big problem. Next year the team expects...

He has tremendous upside. He had the most stupid injuries of all time and couldnt play a proper season so far. Once he was attacked by some street...

Yeah my bad. I totally forgot about Özdemiroglu. You are totally right. Lets take all three to the tournament and skip Özdemiroglu. We hopefully can...

Ok, after these 3 prep games in Istanbul I think we can draw some conclusions about the team... Muhsin Yasar is clearly out as well as Metecan...

You are so unlucky.

Korkmaz will come from the bench. No Larkin, Sengün or Sanli today.

Lol where are the NBA player? They would play in Germany my god. Do they really intend to play with Karim Jallow and Niels Giffey? I said some...

For this I dont need to watch him playing bad. I have been claiming it for years but there is nobody atm.

This is not what I criticized. A competition with 3 weeks prep time and 2 weeks of tournament action cant be higher level than EL with a season long...

No NT tournament could be higher level than Euroleague. This is nonsense.

OK this 2006 generation is really fairly weak overall but there are three very promising guys. Demir Dogan playing lika a walking dead and defending...

I am definitely on board but never did it before so I would need an explanation. :)

I remember the Acropolis tournament last season. In terms of favoring by the refs in prep games its not a comparison to other tournaments. A bit of...

It doesnt matter if he was tired or not. It is just a prep game and Osman always fails when it comes to decisive actions. If we lose or win its...

If this was not aggressive Idk what then.

Without getting too much into detail. We played with a very wide rotation and made some unnecessary TOs due to lack of play making. Tuncer tried but...

If the refs were unfair, the last action would be a foul. I can also tell you sequences of mistakes in your favor.

Sorry but this is nonsense. When Larkin is on the floor he decides, if he isnt, then Sengün, then Korkmaz.

The refs worked for you more I mean.

What a prep game in Istanbul!!!!!

I just wrote that its not useless to end the group first. We are daccord for the rest.

Generally said, team Turkey is always master of suprising loses but on the other hand the team is really very very deep. I really cant imagine Turkey...

Therefore the 1/4 final game could be very easy when you end up first in group A premised you survive the first knock out game. :D End up first is...

A known Turkish team with all its weaknesses. We gave too many offensive rebounds especially when Sanli is on the floor and his defense gave alert...

The game is not important. Finland played without a big. You watch in these games what a team cant do and not what it can do.

I think the same way.

Lithuania played as I expected. Weak back court, strong front court. Sabonis still cant shoot.
