Why's FIBA's format so retarded?

2nd round groups are fucking useless

Legendary video, my NEET father recorded this on a VHS tape.

Yeah, the system seems kinda retarded, but this way you have to play your best in all of the games. If you lose one game in the group stage you're fucked.

Canada playing well without NBA players.

we will win

The great news for me is that Germany could unironically perform better in divegrass, which can fuel my fap fantasies that basketball will ever overtake that faggot sport.

>file no longer exists

the fuck? Am I the only one with this shit?

Because they wanted to increase the number of teams, yet had to found some way to not increase the number of games.
That being said, it has been the format for eurobasket for like a decade.

Canada beat Australia 90-70

>Pangos
At least they got one decent player.
Its so boring otherwise, I've wanted to see canada nba team (though it is mainly busts and future busts) in world cup for years now. Don't really see the side of players, it's not like any of them have a long season in store for them, except maybe Murray.

Of course he can.

Cory Joseph and Birch are the only NBA players that will play for them in the WC.

Yeah I know, that was my point

Useless, Pangos is better.

Also, I don't know what the fuck were americans thinking, but they will not win anything with that roster even if all their tv debate shows are all like

yikes. I remember back in 2010 when USA sent supposedly their "C team with young literally whos" and it had Durant, Curry, Westbrook, Love, Rose who were all 21 or 22.

Based NEET father sipping rakija and smoking drina/walter wolf all day

I went to see a Team USA game in 2014 with Curry, Harden, Rose, Klay, Kyrie, etc. Obviously some had yet to reach their prime but it’s great to have seen those players in person. Shame Spain choked against France that tournament...

>no american stars
imagine being such a despicable country even nba benchers don't want to play for the national team

Went saw them in Vegas one year, was shocking how tall Curry is IRL, as he always looks so small on TV

In America this is considered a meme tournament, where we take the Olympics more serious. Still going to be hilarious when this meme team finishes top 3 in China though

Wouldnt be shocked that their agents have advised to stay home from China as well, so they dont die in a meme accident

NBA players Ilyasova, Chedomir Osmanovic and Furkan Korkmaz are playing for Turkey.

Scottie Wilbekin is playing for them as a naturalized player, cringe!

It's pretty obvious Serbia will easily win this tournament. They would even give our A team a good game.

I hope so, we have a legit team now. Just hope Teodosic recovers, I want him to lift that WC trophy.

Heurtel is out tho

Australia looked terrible lethargic, shooting strokes looked, and zero communication between players. You could really tell the Canadian team had worked through qualifying together with their chemistry.

*Looked terrible

which is a terrible loss, our team painfully lacks scoring options
I wish Roddy Beaubois had made the roster, he'd've been a much needed scorer

Canada actually has incredible talent coming through the pipeline too. Probably not going to be a meme team much longer.

The only thing we need to do in this tournament is to cuck Lithuania and win vs Giannis
I doubt that we can win vs D team USA

Milosavljevic just got injured, looks like he fucked up his knee.
Fucking hell man

Yeah but that wasn't really on display it was mostly euro based vets. Corey Joseph didn't make it to the country in time so only Birch plus some guy who went undrafted and just signed a contract with Toronto was their nba representation where as Australia had six guys with nba experience.

I enjoyed watching some NBL last season, league has some talent.

SF: Th. Antetokounmpo, Papanikolaou, Papapetrou
PF: G. Antetokounmpo, Printezis, Mitoglou, Vasilopoulos
C: Bourousis, Papagiannis

assuming two of either Koniaris, Mitoglou or Vasilopoulos will be cut from team

Giannis is obviously the key to not lose against Spain in the quarterfinals again

My only fear is the starting players getting tired due to lack of depth from the bench just like the last eurobasket

Yeah I try to goto a couple games a season it's pretty good to watch and has become more interesting with the future stars programme. The arena is relatively steep so even the cheap seats you get a good view of the play unfolding

Borisa Simanic time.

I'm not surprised, you're the greatest US cocksuckers in Europe.

At least we had Cricket and we'll have Rugby.

Why doubt, they won't even make it to the finals, Greece or idk who will beat them in quarters.

Seriously who can stop them? Giannis will dominate this tournament like Durant did a few years ago

I want us to be at least mediocre in ALL sports, being shit at things like Basketball and Handball eats me up inside.

Lithuania is a Russian clay.

Jokic is the actual superstar of this tournament, and unlike Greeks, Jokic has a capable group of players behind him.

I like Jokic, but he couldn't even sniff Giannis's farts. Giannis is a true generational talent.

+ chemistry is 100/100

Giannis is too retarded for the FIBA tournaments, played three times so far and didn't do jack shit.

This is what serbs used to do their ottoman masters when they rape their women

Lmao, you don't have a clue. Giannis couldn't even get Greece to the Olympics and he even had better teammates in that team. He made 15-16 ppg on that qualifing tournament.

Oh I agree 100%, I love the international feel and I don't really care for winning, just participating is nice enough.

Not a Timberwolves fan but he's a stand-up guy.

He didnt do much in the NBA either in those time periods. His growth the past two seasons have been insane. He's a generational talent whether we like it or not.

Actually that is what turkish rats did when Serbs banged their women in Istanbul back then. If some turks raped our women, they didn't even like it, meanwhile turkish women enjoyed handsome Serbian men.

Yeah, I remember Croatia beat them in that FIBA qualification tournament for Olympics.

Jokic is a top 10 player in the world, and so is Giannis. Except that at this tournament, Jokic's team is considerably better than Giannis'.

I like your team, but settle down, let's not get cocky. This isn't soccer we're talking about. Judging Giannis before his obvious growth is irrelevant. It's the equivalent of you laughing at Lebron, Wade for losing to Greece in 2006. Growth matters.

Greece doesn't have any quality shooters. Don't expect him to dominate like he does with Bucks.

No one is saying Jokic isn't a top 10 player, I actually think he's great. Love his game. I even agree that Serbia is a much better team and think they win it, but if anyone thinks Giannis isn't the best player in this tourney they're in denial

a bit unfair on Giannis, he was only 21 then and hasn't played in FIBA tournaments for 3 years

Hi. Can we play in your tournament? Thanks.

It's just like when Lebron and Wade lost to Greece in 2006. Growth matters. The tourneys before this are absolutely irrelevant. I think Serbia is a much better team, but Giannis is the best player in this tourney by far.

No you settle down, you started with claim that Greeks are favorites. I say they're dark horses and they can possibly defeat US team & probably win the tournament, but I also say that Jokic and co. are the #1 favorites. Fight me now outside if you disagree.

We lost to Great Britain in some youth competition this year, was very embarrassing 2bh.

>serb historians
World cup is euroball tournament. He actually needs to make shots and refs wont buy his three step eurotravels to the basket. Giannis will statpad against some shitters like Jordan or Ivory coast and then will be eliminated by first team who actually can defend.

do you even have a basketball league?

No, you are playing with the so called Kosovo in the prequalifiers for the Eurobasket tonight.

Giannis is a better player but there isn't that much of a gap between the two of them. And Jokic's team will be enough to close that narrow gap in favor of him since it's not likely that Greece does well outside of Giannis, just like Porzingis' Latvia at last Eurobasket (lost in quartefinals, didn't make all-tournament team).

No I didn't? I'm the one who said Serbia would win. I only said Giannis is the best player in this tournament, and he is.

>butthurt belt
>muh zalgiris symbol of fighting the so called occupant

Please dont ever mention Giannis in the same sentence as Jordan ever again.

Nevermind you meant the country obviously, havent had my coffee yet

Was about to make fun of you but ok

How will you deal with life when you get eliminated by Serbia and they troll you non stop for 2 years

>Porzingis' Latvia at last Eurobasket
He shat the bed against our C team that year. It was the begining of his downfall.

There is a gap. The real question is will that gap remain under eurobasket rules? We will see.

The USA team has zero chemistry, and they're not built to play against the zone. They'll play hero iso ball, and get beat. I felt good about them until Beal sat out, at least he can shoot consistently.

I think USA will be lucky to get top 3. It's Serbia's to lose.

Greece is playing against Italy right now, anyone have a stream?

I just enjoy us having a team that can compete on an international level in basketball at least.
Winning is just a bonus.

You have arguably the best player in the world. Life is good.

>wanting to watch us statpad against melli-less and datome-less italy
rojadirecta btw

Didn't USA team lose against G league players recently?

Current NBA Champion Coach Nick Nurse coached the Manchester Giants 20 years ago

piratasdelbasket.net/basket-tv-on-line/

Yes, it was actually the select team that played together through FIBA qualifiers and have great chemistry, which returns to my original point

clearly you don't know how greece goes m8

first we beat lithuania in the round of 16 before losing to spain in the quarterfinals

it's a vicious, repeating cycle

Out of respect for MJ they should play in this tourney as J*rdan. Or they could be badasses and every player on the team wear 23. Would instantly make them awesome.

Are the starters playing for Spain in game vs USA tonight

Argentina won against Montenegro, Luis Scola is still playing for them.

Thanks, Italy is playing like shit, they don't have a center.
I can totally see them loosing to Philippines who have Blatche and Jordan Clarkson.

Can you repeat the question

t. genocide belt

Will Spain be using their starting lineup in the exhibition vs USA later today

I don't know, haven't seen any news about that

Serbia, is this true? Why would they do this? This is incredibly stupid. Why even give them ammunition?

Based

I haven't heard him say this, and if he did, he probably said it in a joking manner.

They should just call up Melo the euroball gawd and be done with it

I'm not sure a single players contracted by Rich Paul is playing in the WC. Boston is pretty based to let all their players paly this one. I guess the New England Patriots are actually a thing and not just a meme.

Heurtel is a walking catastrophe in defense. As a long watcher of the NT, I'm utterly convinced he's not that much of a loss. Real problems are guys like Ntilikina, Okobo or TLC who spent 2 years playing garbage time in garbage games for garbage teams, and are completely unable to grasp anything on the court.

Also, Beaubois NEVER played a game for the NT. This fucker gives absolutely zero shit about it. He even left the NT during pre-tournament preparation without giving a single reason not once, but twice.

Point Guard is what matters in Euroball and Kemba is light years ahead of any other in the tourney. If he has a good tourney it probably wont matter what the big men do.

Sloukas got injured?

Nah they look strong on paper, and Gobert took it to the next level last season. Actually have them as my dark horse

Who will be the surprise team of the tourney? And why is it Poland?

Didn't know Maledon was in your preliminary squad, nice.
Maybe if Gortat and Kaminsky played for them. Best they can hope for is the second group stage.

>Nah they look strong on paper

problem is they don't look that good on the court, and more importantly they didn't really improved since the beginning of the preparation phase

you now remember Leandro Barbosa

I think Nigeria is going to make a surprise. I can see them reaching the quarterfinals.

Any team can hang or look good in the first half. The real talent takes over in 2nd half, let's see how they look in 2nd half.

They always seem to have a solid roster and just never show up, maybe itll be different this year

How did Greece go 11-1 in qualifiers if they have no depth?

He was in the extended group as sparring partner for the preparation, but since Heurtel is injured he's been called for actualy games. And actually, I'd prefer him to play over shitter Okobo. Can't understand why Westermann has not been called either.
Maledon is predicted to be top 10 or even top 5 in the next draft. Another European player we'll never really see play here...

Varejao is also playing lol.
Josh Okogie, Al Farouq Aminu, Jordan Nwora from Louisville, Michael Eric, Diogu, Ekpe Udoh... they seem like a very good team on paper.
We'll see him in the Euroleague next season. Is he a starter for ASVEL?

Why David Pelosini os wearing a Serbia hoodie?

Is*

They'll have a 3 men rotation with Antoine Diot and Jordan Taylor (best passer in the last Eurocup top 16 with Limoges, could be a good player in a solid system). They'll play 80+ games next season, so he'll get gametime in any cases, and anyway they need to expose for different reasons.
I think he already scored 18 or 20 pts in Valencia last year, giving them their only defeat of the whole tournament in Eurocup.

How hard is Giannis steamrolling Italy?

They went 11-1 in qualifiers, they have talent. Not sure why rest of world is laughing them off

How's France looking now? LOL

18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 1 block
the whole of greece had 5/22 three point shots but italy had 3/25

Right now, it's okay. But doing this consistently? That's really another matter. France is a team that absolutely needs a momentum, if they can't find it they struggle mightily.

5th world cup for Varejao.

Most of the national teams in the qualifiers were without Euroleague/NBA players because of the fucked up schedule which made them unavailable to play. Latvia, Croatia, Slovenia all got cucked because of this. And Greece is a great team, top 5 candidate for the gold.

Didnt Bogdan and others plays vs Greece in the FIBA Qualifiers?

>5th world cup for Varejao.
Same for Scola, feels so unreal that they played in 2002.

the qualifiers are not a good representation of quality since all european teams lacked their nba and euroleague players, so it was basically a battle of the retards
we also played meme countries like britain, estonia and georgia, whilst countries like israel and germany could not compete without their best players missing
like says, countries like croatia, latvia and slovenia got fucked by this

honestly fuck fiba and euroleague, they're both slowly killing european basketball

Honestly they beat a pretty strong Serbian team though. Did Serbia have a bad shooting game?

There was 2 games in June I think when NBA/EL players could play.

>the only game France lost during the qualifiers was one of this 2 games with their NBA/EL players

Actually, one of the point of those qualifiers was that countries with good league structures had no problem to qualify, why other destoyed local leagues struggled a lot. Teams like France or Spain had 20 to 25 players missing (aka basically their first 2 teams).

Serbia had poor qualifiers. ACtually, a lot of people more or less suspect Greece let them win a game to help them as orthodox brothers. All ex-Yu countries struggled mightily.

Would love to see a full Slovenia team in this tourney, sucks they're not here

we beat them in greece by 7 but they destroyed us in serbia by over 20 points
everything's about perspective

They did, as I recall Bogdan was playing injured and Bjelica was recovering from an injury. Also the chemistry with our domestic league/eurocup players was not good. We looked like shit in almost all of our qualifying games because of this. We changed like 40 players during that time. Lost to Israel, Germany, even Estonia... barely won against Austria with a buzzer beating game winner shot by Avramovic.

France won by 14 vs Brazil, looked very good in 2nd half.

Won't happen. After the disaster of Atlanta 96, John Major decided to stop using the profits of your national lottery for social matters and started funneling them to elite Olympics athletes and programs (strange sense of priorities, but whatever...). However, this money is used to fund sports with low concurrence and bigger medal count potential, like rowing, sailing, or track cycling. Basketball, a sport with an already heavy conurrence all over the world, and an almost unbeatable monster at the top, as pretty much no chance to receive any funding.
Most of your players are Africans (first or second generations) who got nationality then went to the US college system.

Nothing new coming from African federations. Ivory Coast's players had a strike some days ago for the same kind of shit. Oh, and Venezuela too.

The French federation often "lends" coaches too African NTs, and everytime I read interviews from them, they always tell the same tales, like federation officials or sport ministers using the funding for themselves, players not even having jerseys, or having to pay from their own pocket for traveling and hotels, federation not covering them with insurances, and all this kind of shit. That's the main reason why African players almost always refuse to play for their NTs.

He definitely is, but he was the only player who could consistently beat opponents one-on-one. De Colo and Fournier are both closeout attackers, and in FIBA basketball you need ball handlers who can shake up a defense by themselves.

Just checked out the boxscore, looks like Batum once again had a massive game for France

>this lazy faggot is the fucking captain of the team
no way we can get a medal

Batum's whole career with the French NT is pretty much 3 games in 2014 (one of them being a defeat). All the rest varies from vaguely decent to ghostly transparent, with occasionnal spurts once every 6 or 7 games to remind the wolrd he can do it when he cares.

Even Diaw was more consistant than him, which says a lot.

How does he survive while being a NEET and having a son/family

My god that jersey..... Brits need to stay away from this sport

Is there not medical treatment for this shit? Someone should have seen early that his growth should be stopped for the sake of his body structure. There is no way his body will ever fill out enough for him to walk properly.

Fucking lame

Imagine having the chance to play for Serbia, and you choose Slovenia lol. What a coward.

Same goes for Mirotic and Vucevic, we would have a very strong team.

Teodosic, Bogdanovic, Doncic, Mitoric, Jokic...

Australia playing vs Canada again lol...

Sasuga FIBA.

Where was he born?

Who cares, his father was a successful Serbian basketball player.
His entire talent comes from his Serbian genetics.

Slovenia, but he is ethnically Serbian, his grandparents are from Kosovo.

So he's Slovenian, got it.

>laughs at American "mutts" for claiming heritage, but it's ok for players they want

Mutt's understanding of ethnicity.

There's nothing wrong with rekindling your ethnic identity, I just find it pathetic you lost touch with in the first place. "Americans" also interbred a lot, so its tough for you guys to decide whether you want to identify as a Scott, Sicilian or Polak, I feel for you.

Very rich coming from a Canadian who's interbred much more than common Americans. Your country can't even decide if it wants to identify its history with French or British or Indian, and now being invaded by Chinese. Hey pot I'm kettle.

Yes, he identifies himself as Slovenian.
But his roots are Serbian.

Serbia would be unstoppable if he played for them too

You're correct to some degree. Being a British colony for longer than the US meant the ethnic make up of immigrants until the early 20th century was pretty uniform/British. We only really became an ethnic melting pot the likes of US in the 70s when the first Trudeau took charge.

Dragic also, would be an insane team.

But nonetheless, I think our national team is still pretty good without them.

As long as they play around Jokic and not Bogdanovic, we're golden.

I was hoping they will play something like Denver Nuggets, with Bogdanovic and Nedovic cutting to the basket, LARPing as Murray and Harris. But looks like Djordjevic has something else planned. A lot of times he's playing Jokic at the PF spot. Yesterday him and Marjanovic were playing together, looked so weird.

t. beetus belt

Serbs never committed genocide.

nationality=/=ethnicity
he plays for the slovenian NATIONAL team which represents the nation of slovenia, not the team of slovenian ethnic group

a-at least we have giannis

he's half serb half slovene, his mom is slovenian...

Serb bros, do you think Nakic will play for Serbia?

Yeah, probably, he was born in Belgrade and grew up there.
He had a talk with Djordjevic few months ago and it seems like he is leaning towards playing for Serbia.

Acropolis Tournament Day 2:

Italy - Serbia @ 18:00 EET
Greece - Turkey @ 20:30 EET

Nicolas Joquisse to France

the mohawk?

Is this Nakic the son of the Greek Nakic who played to Olympiakos?

>krstic punching big sofo from the back and running away the moment he turns around
i'm sure throwing that chair was worth it

Moerman won't play because of injury.

I hope krstic gets pancreatic cancer and his whole family killed

Based Greece and Serbia btfoing Italy by 20 with only 50÷ of our power

go Timmy

he was very good for the bulls like ten years ago. Kobe wanted to play with him. Now he's old and injured but considered a very stand-up guy

Moerman is gone, though.

France vs Spain
Eurobasket U16, final

youtube.com/watch?v=BxGvZ1UMgrI

France looks good imo, have gotten progressively better everytime I've watched them

Team is progressing in this tournament, at last. 1 good quarter against Montenegro, 2 against Brazil, good from the start against Argentina. That's good news, because until now we couldn't see any progress whatsoever since the beginning.

>le win in friendlies but choke in knockouts against serbia team

reminder that they went 5w 4d in WC 2014 and 4w 4d in 2016 Olympics
their medals made them look better than what they actually were during those tournaments

De Colo is soooooo good. The team plays briliantly when he's on the floor, he's such a facilitator.

good victory
this Argie team will lack rotations, though, to be desu, the old ones who retired have not been replaced

Have been very impressed with the French team, when they're on, they're on.

Most of that losses were serbia tanking so we could avoid America until the finals so we could stack silver medals

That was certainly not the case in 2014 at least, as it was impossible for you (or any team in that part of the table) to play the USA before the final, whatever the ranking coming off the group phase.

Yeah i dont know if it was vs you or Australia, we really wanted to lose so we can escape america(at olympics)
But we usually start slow
