:clap: Somehow Team GB managed to sneak out a victory 76-71. Definitely a much stronger 2nd half for them - and a particularly tidy 4th quarter where they only gave away 1 foul. Should be enough to get them into the next stage where they would be likely to face either Turkey or Hungary.

 

BUT, they really can't afford a repeat of those 5 minutes across the end of Q1/early Q2 where they conceded 16 points without response. 

 

They're against :FRA tomorrow - the match which will probably decide who will top the group. The two teams played a friendly last week and France were comfortable winners 76-54.

Well we can pretty much kiss Paris 2024 goodbye after that performance :(

 

I was unable to watch the game but if we lost to Montenegro (even if it was close), then we really can't expect to do much here...

 

Judging by the statistics, I am not surprised either. Spanou (our PF/C) shot 7 3-pointers and only made 1 of them. She's been doing this for years. She thinks she is Steph Curry or something, meanwhile she misses 90% of the time. I can't believe no national team coach has ever told her stop doing that crap. It's extremely frustrating.

 

Also we let Montenegro collect 16 (!!!) offensive rebounds, when they only let us get 5. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that we played most of the game with three guards under 180cm, then we wonder why we can't get rebounds...

 

As expected, Diela and Karlafti did not play and Alexandri only played 3 minutes. I'm shocked that Bosgana didn't play at all, as she is one of our tallest players and one of the best players we have on our bench, plus she is a decent shooter too! I'm not sure what this coach was thinking, and playing Stamati more than Christinaki and Pavlopoulou combined is also a joke. Especially since Pavlopoulou seemed to have a good game based on the stats.

 

I will say that I'm happy Tsineke finally got a lot of playing time.

 

 

Also I will say that I would rather lose with the authentic team we had than win like Montenegro did, with an American player leading them who probably can't even locate Montenegro on the map or can name any place in the country except for maybe Podgorica, or speak a word of their language but that's a conversation for another time...

And that's the end of that, collapse against :TUR in Q4, and with that, goodbye to our chance to reach the Top8. 

 

This is why I never expect anything great for us in women's basketball, they always choke under pressure, like how they threw away the 3x3 Tokyo quota.

Don't think Hungary are out of contention for quarter finals yet. They've got about 30 point cushion in points difference from Turkey. If they can keep Serbia close then good chance they could finish 2nd in the group.

 

Either way, they will qualify for the next stage of the competition and would be up against runners up from Group C - likely to be GBR or Slovenia - and given how well they've played in their first 2 matches and although they'd be the lower ranked team, they have the ability to win either of those matches.

That's not how it works. To determine the rankings in basketball it's H2H always. 

 

Having said that, in no way is Hungary out of contention for qf. If they beat Serbia only by 4 they will be top of the group.

      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 reflects the decline of our entire Western World- of which the USA was a leader for a long time.

      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…

      A true champion- van der Poel came to Beijing for 2 gold medal, and he won 2 gold there, without worrying about other people from the Netherlands: Roest, Norway, or any other country. These are the kinds of people Italy lacks.
