Yes georgia can qualify too , but I think the team with the name UNRECOGNISED by greeks is slightly better.

You Greeks normally could be the leader but with this squad I guess it is tough luck.

Turkey can defeat France I guess because of their poor 3 pointer threat.

I watched Lietuva in both Turkey and Spain games and they are not in form, I believe they will be eliminated.

Nowitzky is a huge question mark , if he plays well with 1 or 2 companion they can even get the trophy.



Serbia, Spain , Russia , Slovenia, Greece are my %100 qualifiers.

No, no man, <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/agree.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> Germany don't stand a chane. In that level, 2 players can't beat teams that are full of great players.

Yes, Lithuania is not as good as I was expecting so far but I think that will play better as the tournament goes on. Fans will help them on this. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



*By the way, it's very impressive that the last time a host(of Eurobasket or WC or Olympic tournament) nation won the trophy was back in 1996 in the Olympic Games where the Dream Team II won it easily!



It's true that if we had our best players we would be, in my opinion, the favorites along with Spain! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' />



*I still can't deal with the fact that Diamantidis(to me the best player in europe and definitely the best Greek player) will never play with the national team again. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/bag.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />
