Easy win for us over Great Britain. The decision by Itoudis to rest Giannis today proved to be the correct one 

 

The graphics on screen this tournament are tragic. So many times the score is not updated, it is a joke.

if only this was the biggest problem...

 

have you read about yesterday's shameful disorders after GEO vs TUR and about the unbelievable tech mistake by the refs in the GER vs LTU match? (with the following protest not even taken into consideration by FIBA)

this one isn't so surprising...we already took a big risk against UKR 10 days ago in the world cup qualifiers (game played in Riga)...only Gallinari saved our ass that night (and yesterday he wasn't available because of the bad injury he sustained in the last game before the start of this tournament)...

 

and don't be too surprised if tonight we fully destroy ourselves with another loss to Croatia...

We are barely capable of beating Estonia these days. You'll be fine.

I think we will beat Italy, whole country starts to hope. then we lose against Ukraine in a drama. And then in the knock out round a complete melt down and -20 against Poland/Israel or whom ever. 
 

that is how we do it 😉

We are losing -9 against Netherlands after first half 

[rybak 3,307]

Qualified to next round after beating Netherlands with much better second half

@Federer91 Bulgaria will not come back to home without win, your team just beat

Even the Georgian shenanigans at end couldn't prevent us from finally getting a win here. Happy, that we won't be leaving empty handed, but frustrated we didn't beat Montenegro, because this team was fully capable, if they just avoid stupid mistakes. Will see, what happens with Belgium tomorrow.  

 

Another superb performance by Eurobasket's top scorer Vezenkov  I still can't believe he chose to stay in Olympiacos, he is probably in the top 3 or 5 top Europeans not playing in the NBA. And he truly deserves it. He (and Bost) are practically carrying the whole team on his shoulders and manages to bring out a better performance from the other players, who play only in the BG league.

he took a big, big risk (for his own life)...

 

many people, who bought the (very expensive) ticket to see Giannis play, were seen near the Greek locker room with baseball bats, pistols and shotguns...  

 

I couldn't tell if you were joking or not at first, so I did some research and could not find any articles about this

He has Greek citizenship and had the option to play for us and contend for medals, but he chose to play for Bulgaria instead. You should be proud of him. He is clearly very loyal to his roots despite never living in Bulgaria
