I've got a strange feeling that Spain NTs losses in the beginning of tournament are also a part of a conspiracy to bring some interest to the event.
Before the EB2009, everybody ( other NT's coaches and players, media, etc ) claimed that Spain is a big favorite and will take a gold without any prob. Spain started with a bunch of losses and suddenly the completion was open in a sense that virtually every team can win it.
Needless to say that this Spanish fiesta of losses come to the end when their qualification was at stake
Imagine how this Eurobasket would look if Spain finished both qualifying rounds undefeated.
Should I also mention the conspiracy behind Greece-Russia, Frence-Greece in Greek heroic plight to avoid Spain ?
Well, share your thought on this subject
