2nd Group Stage - Day 2
#41
45% at free throws. Is it possible to win a game with this? Besides while Dirk was at the bench, our genius coach didn't use Enes. We still make easy mistakes that wouldn't be at this level tournaments. Although we got 9 rebounds more than Germany, we lost. Now our destiny is in Lithuania's hands. Actually from now on I don't think we can get a win against Serbia.

No, your destiny is in your hands.

If you beat Serbia you go on... Am I missing something?! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mellow.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Mellow' />



You both are in bad shape, we'll see...

Will anyone argue with a Turkish coaching change after this??

No, I gues people will wait sunday. Our offense is getting worse day by day and I really can't understand why. Hedo's smile was as annoying.

Our offense sucks, I know that much. But I support the geius, remember Tanjevic in 2007, I think constancy is important.

QTR 2 FRANCE 2-0 France needs to finish stronger at the basket. Noah and Batum blowing baskets. Diaw is showing his emotional instability. Overall France seems to have a calm mental strength. France needs to hit a few more jumpers and 3pts. This is France game to lose. Lietuva is strong but can they guard inside without fouling? It is still anyone's game...

Judging by pre game expectations, what we have seen is... bad. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thudown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thudown:' />

26-34!!! Can't be worst.



Let's hope they'll remember their averages!!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Cool' />



France is very tough.

That's the only way we have some chances! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />

Serbia was so desperate.And after first half they complete fall down.If they don't win against Turkey that will be the end.And probably the end for Ivkovic...



Players that should not play for NT are Perovic man who can squeeze ball <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Ohmy' /> and Tepic who never made 3-pointer <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Laugh' />

Here is also Markovic but he play very well defense and that is only reason why he play.

[/quote]



I've never seen a more pathetic (EDIT: and unskilled) Serbian player than Tepic...



He's an embarassment to have on the Serbian NT...





Currently: France is giving Lithuania a real run for its money? Super fast ball is being played, the style that favours France. If France continues like this, I don't think Lithuania has much of a chance beating the tricolore.

France won Lithuania, so on Sunday we will watch a game between the, probably, two best teams in Eurobasket 2011!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' />



Nnado De Colo was the man tonight for France.

Before the game, he averaged 2.2 points per game but tonight he gave France the win by scoring 21(!) points, grabbing 4 rebounds and making 5(!) steals(he even stole the ball from Saras hands)! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' />

Solid and just win for France. How can someone with such offensive prowess (Parker) suck so much from the charity stripe? <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Blink' />

Russia has no chance for gold maybe for semis if get little easy team but in first group are all awesome teams.

Also FYROM will have highest placement and that is quarter-final.Reality will be that all four qualified teams from group E in quarter-final will play in semis. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/baby.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Baby' /> But let see.. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />

GROUP E SCENARIOS seem to go like this:





anything is possible.



for 1-2 places france and spain will compete. the winner is 1st, the loser 2nd



the rest will play for 3-4.



Lets take all odds



first case

Lithuania wins => ends up 3rd

Turkey wins=> ends up 4th



2nd case

Lithuania wins => ends up 3rd

Serbia wins=> ends up 4th



3rd case

Germany wins, Turkey wins

Germany 3rd, Lithuania 4th



4th case

Germany wins , Serbia wins

triple equality for Serbs, Lithuanians & Germans

up to now we have , Serbia - Germany +11, Lithouania - Serbia +10

so

Serbs are on +1 aggregate

and Lithuanians can afford to lose up to 10 pts.



[COLOR="Red"]Germany wins by 1 to 9 pts[/COLOR]



Lithuania +1 or more, Serbia +1, Germany -2 or more

and

Lithuania 3rd, Serbia 4th



So if Germany wins by 10 pts we have

Serbia +1, Lithuania 0, Germany -1 so Serbs 3rd, Lithuanians 4th



if germany wins by 11 or 12 pts

Serbs +1 , Germans 0 or +1 , Lithuanians -1 or -2 so Serbs are 3rd and Germans 4th



and last (sub)case

germans win by 13 or more

Germany +2 or more, Serbs +1 , Lithuanians - 3 or more



and Germany 3rd, Serbia 4th

In my opinion, in the final four will be 3 teams of group E and 1 team of group F.

I hope that one will be Greece!!! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='Wink' />

You could be right. We have a good shot against the russians, if we nullify Kirilenko. Russia's whole game plan is centered around this guy, so were in with a chance. My prediciton is 55-45 Russia. I hope I'm proven wrong!!

Really good post. I was initially bummed after today's loss but given that I have tickets to the quarter final games featuring the team that finishes first and the team that finishes third in this group, I am really pleased with Lithuania's odds at placing third. If we win our next game, I will be one happy message board poster!
