Watch Spain vs. Greece, France vs. Latvia in Eurobasket 2015

Giannis Antetokounmpo celebrates for Greece

It’s getting down to serious business and the stakes just keep getting higher from here on out. September 15th is day one of the Eurobasket quarterfinals and we have two heavyweights duking it out as the opening band.

.

Greece vs. Spain (watch online): It’s hard to believe that either Greece or Spain won’t be in the Final Four and even harder to believe that either Hellas or La Roja might not have a chance at even sniffing the Qualifying Tournament. That’s what’s on the table when Spain takes on Greece tomorrow at 18:30.

Both teams are aware of the epic clash that is about to happen and neither team wants to see one another at this chapter of the book.

“It is the most difficult game of the quarter-finals and if it was up to me to choose one rival at this stage I would not have picked Greece.” said Sergio Rodriguez, the Spanish point guard.

Pau Gasol leads the tournament in scoring at 23 points per game but will he and Spain be able to keep the pace against Vassilis Spanoulis, Yannis Bourousis and Greece. Stay tuned to our forum to follow along with all the Spain-Greece action.

Rudy Gobert has been huge for France in Eurobassket 2015

France vs. Latvia (Watch Online) When the smoke has cleared and blood is mopped up from the Greece-Spain match, game two will feature another heavyweight in France. Les Bleus will take on Latvia to see who makes it the semi-finals and a chance at an Olympic spot in Brazil.

.

Latvia has done a fine job, but all signs point to France remaining unbeaten after this match-up. With a balanced attack from Nando De Colo, Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, Joffrey Lauvergne, Nicolas Batum and Rudy Gobert, Team France is fourth in team scoring and boasts the best defense in the tournament.

Now that’s an offense:defense ratio to envy.

Latvia is clearly outmatched and they’ll need a sluggish French team and to hit a high-percentage of their thress to stand a chance. Stranger things have happened and that’s why they play the game. The Latvia-France game will begin at 21:00.
