All in all - if we look at the whole tournament, not only Greece as a team failed... Giannis cant be satisfied with his personal performances either...

The important thing here for Giannis is the experience and he should learn from that. Greece will be back a better team next time, we know that.

FIBA officiating is way too different in the NBA and even here in our national league, fouls called is too thin but that's the way it is and teams should adjust to that and avoid too much complaining.

Well said, Greece needs to stand down and let this one to passed then come back strongly, Giannis together with his brother are still young they have a lots of experiences to improved as time goes a lots of things will be learn and will show back strongly.

FIBA in terms of regulations have a big difference from NBA, adjustment needs to workout by players who plays representing their National teams.

Pathetic refereeing really... no words

The foul called on Giannis is 50-50, it could go either way but in fairness to the refs, their calls were consistent, Giannis should have adjusted to the calls.

Congrats to the Czech Republic for making it to the QF though it's not official yet but Brazil needs a miracle to win with a 20+ margin against US.

Actually there were 3 very questionable fouls called on Giannis - not even talking about the fact he and others of our players were fouled several times with no whistle followed...

Did you guys see the referee with 27 seconds left after timeout? He went to the baseline, obviously not knowing the rules, LOL

Bad game for Czech Republic they were not able to get this win, I was able to watch the game in the last minutes of the 4th Q, I think Giannis was fouled out in the game so Czech Republic were suppose to take advantage on it. But the defense of the Greece are really good and they were able to keep that lead and win the game.

Final score is 77-84

No offense but your post sounds like Greece should be happy winning the game. News flash, they are not, they needed at least a 12pts win to advance to the 1/4 finals. Czechs even though losing is celebrating right now. Props to them! Making history...

Non taken, I wasn't just aware of there's a quotient system in this game.
I am also not betting on the Greece because they are overrated, and yeah, I was right because they weren't able to beat the Czech Republic by double digit.

27seconds left Greece up by 5pts.

Greek fans and esp. efialtis must be devastated right now. You just couldn't pull it through in the end even though having 12pts lead in early 4th q. Giannis getting fouled out and some silly fouls/tech fouls might have just cost you the needed win. I thought the spark and energy provided by Thanasis at the end the 3rd q would be enough for Greece to take command over the game...guess not. Undecided

Czech Republic and Greece are now playing, I already put my bet on Czech Republic to win by 6+ with a good odds, let's see if I'm lucky today.
In the early first quarter, it's the Greece who are dominating, current 10-2 so far, but this is still early, I'm still optimistic that Czech Republic will upset Greece here.

It's halftime and the score is 33-32 in favor of Czech Republic and Giannis got three personal fouls. Things not good for Greece at the moment.

Anyway, regarding tomorrows match vs Czech republic. Obviously the Czechs are in the drivers seat..

Oddsmaker thinks the other way around maybe because Greece had the NBA MVP.
Czech Republic 5.20 Greece 1.16
I would be on the Czech here for the x4 on my money and it would not be an upset if they will win this game. Crazy FIBA World cup so far, fans expectations and assumptions getting derailed and one of those is that USA and Serbia will meet in the semis not in the finals (if ever they meet). Spain would be taking the easier way to they finals and they are at 6.60 odds at the bookies right now, worth the take.

First Serbia need to beat Argentina in the quarter finals. Looking at their horrific performance during the match against Spain, even that looks doubtful. BTW, today's US vs Brazil match can be interesting as well. Brazil already have one upset against their name (vs Greece). BTW, the opponents for US in the quarter finals can be either France or Australia (depending on the results of today's match).

Bookmakers go with the rational thinking.
Greece is stronger team and has in its squad the best player in the world. Czech Republic has shown great performance in this tournament but we should not forget that its roster is not the best in the tournament.

Serbs did not respond well to adversity, especially Jokic who lost his cool and was ejected on what was clearly a foul against him. Looking at the bright side, this loss could serve as a wake-up call for them, not everything will be a cake-walk from here on now.

The ejection of Jokic cost them the game. It was a close match in the first half and when Jokic was thrown out of the game that's when Spain took advantage of. Also Ricky Rubio played well for their team.

Ricky Rubio make things possible for team Spain together with the entire team they simply take advantage of not having Jokic to push the Serbian, it's always depends from how the entire players work together and play harder to win against the favorite, expect more from this team to work more and be deserve meeting up to the finals.

Yesterday's Spain vs Serbia match fucked up everyone's permutations and combinations. No one expected Serbia to go down, although Spain is no minnow. This world cup have been full of surprises. First we had the United States taken to the overtime by Turkey. Then we had an upset win by Brazil over Greece. And now we have the favorites Serbia beaten by Spain.

All of us were expecting that Serbia will be topping the Group J. But it was Spain who finished first. That means that the first quarter final will be between Argentina and Serbia and the second one will be between Poland and Spain. Spain got a relatively easy opponent and now Serbia will have to play hard to overcome a strong team like Argentina.

Actually our coach - for some reason - had already given up the match even though we were "only" 10 pts behind, he let Giannis and others on the bench and did not even try to steal the game...

Anyway, regarding tomorrows match vs Czech republic. Obviously the Czechs are in the drivers seat... but and there is a big but... If Greece is going to play strong defense again and improves offensively - its actually impossible they wont improve, so bad it was vs USA - then there is a big chance Hellas beats the handicap. The team has much more experience, especially in such do or die matches and has the better roster. Yes, I am Greek and I hope I will be right but what I am saying makes sense... I guess Cheesy

Got rekt with that US vs Greece game so here is my take on the coming match-up between Greece and Czech Rep....

US had a hard time beating Czech Republic,
Greece loses to Brazil on a thriller,
US dominated Greece,
Czech Republic dumped Brazil,
So with ^^ game results i am convinced that Greece would be having a hard time against Czech Republic and i'm betting on that and if bookies would have Greece as the favorite, i would gladly take the handicap in case the game would be close.

IMO, Greece is over hyped with the leadership of Giannis, he can't do it alone and he need help, someone who could knock down those open 3's to loosen the defense thrown by the opponent on Giannis. Fearless forecast, Greece won't make it to the semis.

That's true. Giannis cannot do it all alone.
Apart from him, only Calathes is a player that has a great performance in the tournament. Sloukas is mediocre and all others haven't shown any positive progress.

I was disappointed with that they showed as well, I thought they were able to give a good game against the US but its unfortunate that they got dominated. With the betting line between the Greece and the Czech Republic, I believe the value is on the Czech Republic here.

I would bet on Czech Republic ML and will take the point spread at +9.5.

What I was thinking about this Greece USA game is why is Giannis benched in the last quarter of action? He is playing decently and why he is not in the game to chase the lead? Or is it because of Smart defense of USA and Smart's defense on him?

With Serbia and Spain, is Serbia is eliminated? I can't believe that they shocked Serbia with their performance.
