Basketball Qualification for Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Favorites after I saw teams for qualifications (not all):

 

*France (they will play without few great players, they are still favorites, but not so big as I thought before few months), Canada si second favorite, Turkey 3.

*Serbia is only favorite to win quota. Other result will be huge surprise. Czech Republic and Puerto Rico are not good at all, but I don't think they can beat Serbia

*Italy first, Croatia second and Greece third after few cancellation. Btw Tomic and Rudez won't play for Croatia. Not so big problem for Croatia. Tomic is much better in Barcelona than for national team.

Senegal will be without their top player Dieng at the Manilla OQT. Not that will probably matter because they are hardly the favourites there with or without him. Clevin Hannah who plays in the spanish ACB league will be their naturalized player.

 

Also, Lithuania has put preliminary list for Olympics, they are qualified already and they have Valanciunas and Moteijunas on the list along with Domantas Sabonis, son of Arvydas who played in college in USA.

Gianis Antetoukumpo (i'm not even going to preted I spelled it correctly) will play for Greece.

 

Andrew Wiggins is not going to play for Canada. He says he wants to focus on Timberwolves because they are buliding championship contender team. What a joke.

Other dropouts from Canada team include Olynik, Stauskas, Nicholson, Lyles, Powell etc.

 

Cory Joseph will play and it's still unknown for Tristan Thompson, his season with the Cavs isn't finished yet. But at this moment I would make a bet he wouldn't play as well. So, after all it seems from the death tournament it was expected at Manilla, we will see much interesting things in Turin.

Russell Westbrook is also out for USA.

 

In Serbia late breaking news tonight is Bjelica is injured as well and probably will miss OQT, he is at the Wolves facilities now working on a rehab.

 

Too many withdrawals :facepalm:With this many, football tournament could be better and it's u23. Unfortunately it seems that basketball is going in the same direction at Olympics.

    • She's quite well-known in the world of alpine skiing, and besides, she's had several serious injuries and always returned to a high level. Now, for me, she has a chance to win a medal in the giant slalom on OG.

    • Here you have statesmen and old leaders that's why we were the leaders back then, and the USSR fell apart.   And who said I support Trump? I have never even been in USA in my life... Personally, I think he's a clown, but he unfortunately show the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.    
    • Latvia seriously attacking the anti-record in WJCh history with the fewest shots on goal in a game    4 SOG after 48 minutes is really quite atrocious stat  
    • My personal favorite in Canadian athlete is Valerie Grenier. She's so likeable and sweet
    • Canada had a great home-boost in 2010. Unfortunately, that's not the case in us – look at 2006... We won fewer medals in Torino 2006 than in 2002 (11 vs. 13)
    • Short-track is unpredictable and ridden by bullshit refs who give out weird penalties and home-advantage calls to favour the home athletes. Women’s hockey, we aren’t beating the US this time around, the rivalry series went horribly and I’d be happy if we can hang on to silver. It was that bad.    Freestyle skiing team, a lot of them have been getting injured our ski cross contenders (Hoffos, who was in the best form of her career, Sherret), Kingsbury, Oldham... Then you have Blouin, and reigning World Champion Liam Brearley in snowboarding, 2024 world champion in skeleton Hallie Clarke, and 2023 world champion in ski jumping Alexandria Loutitt who are all out injured for the season.   I don’t think you have anything to worry about, Italy will have a nice home boost and win 5-6 golds, but yeah that would’ve been pretty bad for us even before our entire team getting injured. I still view it as a disappointment either way. 
    • Do you have short track, freestyle, snowboardcross, hockey x2? You'll definitely win 5-6 gold medals. If you want, I'll gladly sign now for Italy to win 5-6 gold medals in February... Canada has at least 3 girls competing for medals in the long distances, and we only have 1 Lollobirigida- also quite old.
    • team is seriously in shambles and I wouldn’t be surprised if we only win a few bronzes or slightly better at Milano-Cortina…   Our men are nonexistent, Dubreuil still is awful coming back from injury and nowhere near his 2021-22 form, he’d be lucky to get a top 16 finish. Jan-Bloemen is old and his 5,000m WC podium was a fluke, at best it’ll be a top 8 finish in each event. For the women, Weidemann won’t beat Groenewoud/Wiklund in the 5km/10km and Blondin with Groenewoud (probably, she beats her all the time) or Mangianello in the mass start, and Maltais can only aim for a minor medal at best. We don’t even have our team pursuit anymore, used to be by far the best and now we’re getting beaten by Netherlands/Japan…
