What a game Slovenia vs Latvia. It's best match of Eurobasket2017 so far, so many amazing moments. Luka Doncic is only 18 years old, but he scored 27 points today. 1st pick in NBA drafts next year!? Oh yes! And I believe that Slovenia can fight for place in final with Spain, and they have real chances
Porzingis played great, but he had to be careful because of early 4 fouls. Also, Latvia missed too many 3-pointers in second part of match.
Earlier today, Spain won against Germany. Looks like that Spain didn't played full power.

Agreed. It's such a shame that Latvia will not get a medal on this Championship. They really deserved it...
About tomorrow's matches... Russia- Greece will be tough one. It's hard to predict a winner in such match.
I think Serbia will win its match against Italy.

Croatia VS Russia - Russia has a defence problem in this tourny. I dont think they will be able to win this match against strong and connected Croatia.

Any analysis on why? Im disagree maybe there are holes but not can considered as a problem. They showed a good performance in the defense area of the paint in their recent game and the game was closed. In terms of defense, I can see that both RUS and CRO has similar stats.

But on the other hand, no doubt that CRO has been better in terms of offensive respond if we will compare to RUS squad. But hey stats is just a reference and changes are always been made right at the court erasing stats.

Russia crushed Croatia 101-78.

We can clearly see that no such thing as defense problem for Russia. Look they almost freeze Croatia three pointers allowing only 5 shots to 20. Plus the fact that it was a large lead it was a deadly offense. AK47 will surely happy about this.

Germany covered, but that was a really close game. Until, Marc decided he had enough of Germany.

For today's set of matches i'm going with spain and latvia to win here and also cover the spread. Slovenia are the favorites because they haven't lost yet and imo just got lucky with the group stage. Now the lines are slowly shifting to Latvia. BOL to everyone betting today.

I agree about Spain, I don't believe that they can have problems.
Slovenia vs Latvia game is very hard to predict. Both teams are playing fast attacking basketball with many 3-pointers and both teams won their 1/8 final games easily. But I hope that Latvia will win, I want to see Porzingis & co in fight for medals.

I agree with the spain pick. I believe they will run and make it over 14 points spread.
The second match is hard to guess. I think Im going with surprising Slovenia.

Edit : Not a great start for spain down 0-7 right away. We'll see if they could bounce back in the next minutes.

Time to summarize what we saw in in first rounf of playoffs. There was some surprises - 2015 eurobasket vice-champions Lithuania and bronze medalists France already eliminated. Greece improved their game after group stage and Germany beat Francy after great 4th quarter. Russia smashed Croatia, Shved & co played amazing tonight. I expected more from Croatia, but as usual - they start to play terrible after group stage - we saw it in previous champs.
Quartefinals:
Germany - Spain, Slovenia - Latvia,
Greece - Russia, Italy - Serbia.
For me, most interesting game will be Slovenia vs Latvia.

Totally agreed. Match Slovenia- Latvia is finals before finals. It's impossible to predict a winner there.

P.S. I have some feeling that I am only one who is talking here Tongue

Heh.. I have that same feeling too Cheesy

I wanted to point on Greece before this game but I didn't(for some reason, I don't know why. Their last match in the group was great and I didn't know if that is a turnover in form or just one game but to win pretty easily against Lithuania... Same thing with Italy. I think that Serbia will have big big problem in quater-finale with them.
Russia and Croatia suppose to be a true derby of this round but we saw what happened. You are right when you say that they play really bad in knockout phase. And Russians are my new favorite for final game. Very good composed machine.

Serbia and Spain should easily win their matches, so far they have proved to be far superior to other teams.
Great balance for the other 2 quarters of the final even though I see Slovenia favorite (Slovenia has won all matches played up to this point)

I think Russia could make suprise tonight, so I will try this one. And the Odd is quite good @2.70.

Pure dominance from Russia tonight. They smashed Croatia 101:78!
This Croatia was acting a little bit bitchy, so I am happy to see them down. Cheesy

My predictions for todays playoffs games.
Slovenia vs Ukraine. Easy win for Slovenia. Hard to say something more, because it's different level teams.
Germany vs France. Despite that France don't have many important players, I think they will win this game, because their squad still looks more solid. If Germany want to win, Schroder must get more help from his teammates.
Finland vs Italy. This game hard to predict. Finland looks good, but they played group games at home, now it will be neutral arena. I would bet for Italy, because they have more experience at playoff stage in previous championships.
Lithuania - Greece. Lithuania looks more solid for now. Greece struggled in group stage and looks that they have bad team chemistry.

Young Slovenes beat the older ones, who were older and more experienced than Ukrainians, with a devastating score. For me they are one of the favorites of this tournament.

One historical, very rare thing happened on this Eurobasket 2017. Romanian player Andrei Mandache made triple double( 14 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds). Last man who did that was Toni Kukoc, legendary Croatian player, 22 years ago(15 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists). Romanian team lost that game, Montenegro was to strong for them, but Mandache's individual achievement is really outstanding, we can not see things like that often in Europe. Congratulations Andrei.

All the matches of second and third seeded teams of the groups will be interesting to watch, they all are equally quality teams by my opinion. From the other side, favorites should have easy job in this round.
