Euroleague and NBA say that it's abusive. Oh please. One NBA season: at least 82 matches in roughly 6,5 months. NBA: "8 matches per year is abusive" Lol. If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

MHSN 3,230 Posted February 21, 2019 #164 Share Posted February 21, 2019 We only had to lose by 6pts or less to Japan at home to make sure about the qualification. that was a terrible game but still we were down exactly by 6 in last 24 seconds. if our players were offering them shaking hands, Japan wouldn't try the last attack. but instead they tried aggressive defense, made a stupid foul and Japan made both FTs. still we had 10 seconds for a layup to qualify. but they missed that Iran will fail to qualify ONLY in one scenario we lose to Australia in the last game - very possible Philippines beating Kazakhstan - very possible Japan losing to Qatar - very unlikely Lebanon winning one of two games against New Zealand or Korea - possible Jordan winning both games against China and New Zealand - very unlikely we have to be very very unlucky to not qualify ! but you never know.

Russia can lose by 2 and still go through and Serbia can lose by 22 and still go through if Georgia beats Estonia at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHSN 3,230 Posted February 22, 2019 #169 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Jordan is destroying China. nobody expected that. even if China is missing some key players still nobody expected such a blowout. one of the "unlikely results" for eliminating Iran just happened. and from what I heard New Zealand will send a weaker team (even weaker than their tonight roster) to Jordan. some of their players will go back to Australia for the Australian league playoff. huge chance for Jordan to qualify by another win. if Japan lose to Qatar (which is still highly impossible) we have no other option to beat Australia. thanks to our stupid coach for not knowing the goal difference options if no surprise happens and Japan beat Qatar, the only way Philippines can qualify is beating Kazakhstan by something like +70 !!

MHSN 3,230 Posted February 22, 2019 #170 Share Posted February 22, 2019 that was quite a game in Beirut. NZ beat Lebanon by 2pts. now 5 teams in Asia will battle for the last 4 spots. all those 5 games will be at the same time on Sunday. if Japan, Jordan and Lebanon win in the last day, Philippines now need to beat Kazakhstan by something like +85-90 pts to qualify !
