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.

Yeah thats why I said "BSL guys" since most of them dont take minutes in EL.

Well, this is quite debatable. The reason why you put so many EL players against us was that the Greek A1 guys werent enough and you were going to...

According to Ataman Shane Larkin is very excited and motivated and joined the team.

Of course you are right but you mustnt forget the decline happening to any player so you cant expect a 34-35 year old Calathes or Sloukas being a...

Calathes is 33 and Sloukas should be 32 if I am not mistaken. This is fairly old. I dont get what you mean with early 30s. This is a big problem even...

I meant the situation without Giannis.

From a certain perspective its understandable. Greece is an aging BB country. Difficult thing to evaluate tbh. Greeks kinda always come up with...

I think the point was that you meant Greece is without Giannis something like Slovenia. You probably meant that Greece couldnt win anything without...

This is all true but you mustnt forget it was five years ago. Now the remain player are not 28-29 and in their prime. So its really not the same...

Without Giannis the max what Greece can reach is QF but thats not the point. Luka is a lebron type player. He makes 80% of that what needs to be done...

This is not correct. Greek NT consist of many EL level player but you both miss the most important point. Chemistry. Its not like you put Giannis on...

Even if I dont like this Giannis hype as well its always good Spaniards losing. Lets face it though Spain is not a top team this time and Giannis...

This explains why he doesnt look a bit like a Turk :D

I dont watch kids at that age but watching highlights of him I am really pleased. He looks like a natural talent.

Its a dangerous decision by Pesic. Even if its the correct decision he will be blamed for everything if he fails and Micic is not the guy who can be...

He doesnt take many shots but when he takes them he takes them with high percentages. I trust him much more than Birsen, Saybir or Kabaca I...

We dont need a difference maker in that position. We have enough of them on board. He should be able to make the open shots and defend properly. He...

Its just strength and condition training in Bormio. Larkin probably chooses to prepare himself in Miami and will join the team in the second part of...

Samet Yigitoglu indeed had a bad tournament overall but we dont need him to take over right now. He has the tools to become a proper center in...

I have rarely watched such a character Turkish team. Technically, the team needed someone who can create his score but nevertheless great fighting...

Horribly coaching again. We started again with non shooting team and forced Yigitoglus low post game unnecessarily and got 13 point difference...

Damn Weiler-Babb really is an amazing upgrade. Germany solved a big problem with him. He has also an ok offensive game unlike Bonga.

Jackpot for the Turkish NT! Ercan Osmani got the permission to play for the Turkish NT. He was born in Albania but came to Turkey when he was 14...
