I mean I guessed all the winners (thats a bit easy) but my point differences are way off in most. In particular Senegal, I just predicted 10pt loss now that I think I have no idea why I did. @Vektor got additional point for point difference, everyone else got points for the correct winner only in SEN-LTU match Laraja 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OlympicsFan 858 Posted September 1, 2019 #425 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Absolutely horrible match by Germany, 4 points in the first quarter and only 20 points in the first half! I am not sure what it tells us about the french team that Germany still could have won this match ... ? The main reason for the loss were Gobert's amazing defense and the horrible german 2 pt shooting (15/47 = 31.9 % from 2 pt range). I am a bit surprised that Voigtmann (25 points and an efficiency of 28) was so much better than the 2 NBA players Kleber (6 points and an efficiency of 4) and Theis (7 points and an efficiency of 7), maybe he should start over them in the next matches. I also can't help but wonder whether it was the right decision to leave Bonga (who is a good defender and probably could have done a better job against Fournier (who scored 26 points today) in this match) and Pleiß/Hartenstein (who are physically better than all other german centers and probably could have had more defensive impact today) at home. After the first, way too early, impressions i would say that Lithuania should definitely make it out of the 2nd group stage and Australia and France should battle for that 2nd spot. Spain and Serbia are a lock for the semifinal, USA should also make it and i think Lithuania and Greece will fight for the 4th spot.

They lost a friendly to Russia (possible QF opponent) by 20 points last week, also our team was really close to them in the same preparation. Also, I don't really know about this USA... I can easily see Australia, Lithuania or France beating them in a bad day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have the feeling that the french team is less than the sum of its parts, while it is the complete opposite with Serbia or Lithuania for example. I think preparation games dont mean much, results were all over the place. Germany lost against Japan and then a couple days later Germany easily won against Australia, while Australia won against the US. I still see the US as a safe finalist and i would be surprised if they would lose against a team other than Serbia, but maybe i am biased considering that they have Donovan Mitchell on their team who is one of my top 3 favorite players currently ... I think the weakness on the guard positions will kill every team except for maybe France in a match against the US. The american guards are just far superior athletically to the lithuanian or australian guards for example.
