Congratulations to Slovenian team. They deserve gold medal, have finished this championship without losing a match. Goran Dragic is a true MVP of the Eurobasket. All the congratulations to Serbia too. With all those injuries before and on championship this is crazy result for them. This was amazing finale, great game, two hours of quality basketball program.

yes, Slovenia has played a fantastic tournament!
He deserved 100% to win. He won 9 games of 9, won against all favorites (France, Greece, Spain and Serbia).
It was the best attack. Incredible Dragic with 35 points in the final!

i am agree with you, Dragic is amazing players, but in the last quarter, he missed everything and Slovenia's trainer made wonderful decision, make Dragic sit on the chair and let other players to win that game, not all trainers can do it.

once again, congests to Slovenia

Indeed that was quite a match worthy of a gold medal. Dragic's stock would be boosted this coming nba season for his performance this tournament. This serbian team showed heart though and looking for a good bounce back with a healthy lineup next time

Amazing final! Congratulations to Slovenia, they really deserved to win trophy. Whole tournament without defeats.
Last quarter was very difficult for Slovenia. Dragic played amazing tonight, but he wasn't able to play in last minutes, because he was really tired. Also, Doncic got injury. But then Prepelic takeover leader role. Also, block by Vidmar and few succesful Randolph moments in attack was so important.
Serbia wanted for more than silver medals. But I think it's still good result, because they were missing so many players.
And congratulations to Spain for winning bronze. It was last match in national team for Navarro - team was motivated to give him medal. And Pau Gasol is still amazing, being 37 years old, I hope that we will see him in next tournament in Spain squad.

The Eurobasket 2017 final will start soon!! Slovenia will meet Serbia.
For slovenia its the first time ever in a eurobaket final. Serbia was in that spot a lot of times before. Unexpirienced Slovenia will be very excited in this match and I believe they will lose.

That is it! The last day of the championship.
Spain won bronze medal.
The final match between Slovenia-Serbia is like 2 hours from now.
Slovenia has been incredible during the whole tournament while Serbia totally deserved a little bit easier draw due to so many injuries they had.
Anyway, I am very happy this is Slavic finals!
Looking forward to the match!

Today is the the of finals.
Bronze medal game Spain vs Russia. Spain should winthis match. Now they can be angry after terrible semifinal match. We may see another amazing performance of Shved, but he needs more help from teammates if they want to win medal. Anyway, to be in top 4 is great result for Russia, better than mostly before tournament.
And Balkan final Slovenia vs Serbia. It should amazing match. Serbia reached final without having so many important players. In recent years Serbia shows great results - great coach Djordjevic is the main reason of it. And they finally want to win gold.
It's the first medal in history of Slovenia and it's great chance to win a gold medal. Slovenia have mix of experienced and young talented players. Also, they will play like at home, because there will be thousands fans from Slovenia.

I didn't know that Anthony Randolph is playing for Slovenia. They have great players, their leader on the court is Dragic. He scored 30 points today. Also Igor Kokoskov is their coach, man great NBA experience, currently assistant in Utah Jazz. I think that they can fight for first of second placed in the group A.

I checked all the replies from this thread and I think you are the only one who mentioned Slovenia and almost everyone picks Spain (including me) to win the FIBA Eurobasketball 2017. Nice call.

Yes, I checked their line up and I'm seeing Goran Dragic and Anthony Randolph among them plus Luka Doncic we played excellent game today and has a good overall impact with almost a triple double today. I think its the combination of Slovenia hitting 3's while Spain missed a lot and Luka really playing well and assisting his teammates by creating a lot of pick and rolls. Slovenia has the momentum now and I consider them to be the favorites whoever opponent they meet now in Sunday's finals.

Thanks man, appreciate that. I saw other players, beside Slovenia 'big three' that can contribute( Blazic, Muric, Vidmar, experienced player...) and they looked like good composed team.
I thought that they will burn out against great game and great victory against Latvia and that they will lose match against Spain easily, but what a deny that was. They demolished Spanish team and right now I don't know what to think about final match that Slovenia will play against Serbia.
And what a story behind Serbian team... all those injured players... I just couldn't saw them as one of the favorites. But they played great basketball through all the tournament and with a bit of luck one of the medals is guaranteed. Coach Djordjevic and his team are doing great job scouting opponents and closing main threats, playing defence perfectly... and players trust him unconditionally, doing everything that have as a task.
Tomorrow we are going to watch exciting final game, I can't wait for it. Good luck for both of the teams.

I didnt like russian game through thw whole tournament that was based on 1 player - Shved.
So far they had luck, I dont think they can do something tonight.

Yes, i am looking forward for this match. Shved might be the difference between the two teams. He is an excellent player for the Russians. Both teams have good players and a win here will surely boost the confidence of the wining team and it will help them in future matches of tournament.

Amazing Slovenia has demolished and humiliated Spain 92-72!
Spain had won all the games played up to this point, and was one of the best defenses (up to 73 points suffered in a single match).
Now Slovenia deserves to win this European championship.

For me, the Slovenian team was a real surprise. Today, the Serbs have to defeat the Russians and then we're in for a great final.

It was an upset because Spain was the heavy favorite to win this tournament again. Goran Dragic and Luka Doncic played really well specially Luka, I see him a good pick in the 2018 draft and if Slovenia win against either Serbia or Russia, and he played very well again in the Finals a lot of NBA scout will surely pick him up. I have to agree, They are now the favorites to win this European championship no matter who are they going to face in the finals. I haven't check the bookies yet, but what are the odds for the Slovenian's to win this tournament?

Today, there is Spain-Slovenia, Spain is the favorite but I am convinced it will be a balanced match with very high scores (very close to 100 points for each team).
Slovenia still deserves at least one medal in this Europe.

The other semi-final is Serbia-Russia. In the direct clash of the group had won Russia, but now Serbia will be more focused and bad and will win for me
easily.

Spain vs Slovenia will be very interesting match. Both teams so far without losses, but I think that Spain still have reserves and they didn't showed their best game so far. It's probably last tournament for Pau Gasol, and he want to end his career with gold. Slovenia haven't won any medals in their country history, and I hope they will win bronze.
I don't agree that Serbia will win their game easily. Yes, they have better squad than Russia, but Russia this year playing better than expected. Result of Russia mostly depends on how good Shved will play.

They probably deserved to get both into the final.
At the bottom of the draw Serbia should easily get to the final.

I agree. In the pair Spain - Slovenia, I will put on the Spaniards. And in the pair Serbia-Russia I will bet on the Serbs. I think the Russians will not be able to beat Serbia.

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.

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.

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)

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.

Slovenia should win easily against Ukraine while the other 3 games seem to be balanced.

these instead the pairs between group C and group D:

1C Spain vs 4D
3C vs 2D

To me, among all teams, like Spain. I think this team has all the chances to win this tournament. I hope they will play in the final with the national team of Serbia.

I like Serbia they really are a dominant team they even make it to the Finals last FIBA World Cup but I think so too of other teams like Greece now that they have a young superstar Giannis.

Unfortunately in these European Championships will be absent, many strong players for various reasons: injuries, bad physical form, NBA.

Here are some missing players:

Greece: Antetokounmpo
Serbia: Jokic,Bjelica,Raduljica, Teodosic.
Spain: Lull, Ibaka, Mirotic, Fernandez,Reyes,Claver
France: Causeur,Parker, Gobert, Batum
Lithuania: Jankunas,Sabonis
Italy: Gallinari,Bargnani
Croatia: Tomic, Zizic, Hezonja

Serbia and Spain are the favorites but I expect many surprises

These are exciting rosters, Serbia is one of the crowd favorite.

But I would like to watched with every game of Greece.

Giannis is an underrated player and this will make his career grow, its now time to shine.

This was first day of championship and we have already had two great matches: Lithuania-Georgia and France-Finland. Both ended up with loses by favorites. This showed us how unprectictable and equivalent this championship will be.

Wow it is totally unexpected that the favorites has been defeated. However, I still think that its too early though, they can easily can climb back after those defeat. I also think that it has something to do with France missing a lot of its key players. And it seems to me that Finland has only once big advantage, homecourt. And Finland has also Lauri Markkanen, who is also campaigning for Chicago Bulls isn't it? As I see it, there's gonna be a lot of surprise coming in this tournament because there are a lot of good players that are out or opt to not play in this competition.

Markkanen is a brutal player and the future is ahead of him.

There was some interesting games today. In A group, France beat Poland by only 3 points. And now Finland vs Greece playing and in 2nd quarter Finland have 12 pts advantage. It's important match in fight for playoffs.
In B group Germany beat Italy. Tomorrow Germany and Lithuania will fight for 1st place in the group.
C group. Spain won against Croatia in last minutes in close fight.
And in D group Latvia with K.Porzingis won against Russia. Now 3 teams (Latvia, Russia and Serbia) have same result 3:1 and tomorrow it will hot day in fight for 1st place in the group.

Tomorrow Greece and Poland will decide in direct duel who will play in knockout phase of championship, match of the tournament for both teams. And like I mentioned, Slovenia is first seeded in group A. I have expected more from Italy. Good team with good work ethic, disciplined in defence and offense with great coach...
I am glad that we saw a team that can play equal game with Spain. With the start that they had I thought that Spain will take title easily. Croatians showed that they are not just strong team on the papier but showed that today on the court too.
What a victory for Latvia... They beat Russian team. Davis Bertans had 2+1 play on second or two till the end of the game. Latvia had +15 and they needed +17 to ensure first position in the group because of better point difference in triangle of this three teams. Bertans purposely missed free throw and hope for rebound and two points. At the end they finished with +16. If all three teams finish group competition with same number of wins Serbia will be first, Latvia second and Russia third.

Georgia may paradoxically come to second place in the group but may also get fifth and be eliminated.
Ukraine qualifies if it wins against Israel (already eliminated) and at the same time Italy wins against Georgia.

Group C:
4 Qualified teams: Spain, Croatia, Montenegro, Hungary
Spain has dominated and won the group

Russia beat Serbia, and it's surprise. This year Russian team looks solid after last two terrible performances in Eurobasket 2013 and 2015.
France won against Greece. France had huge lead after 3 quarters, but in last quarter Greece started to play wery well and they been very close to France. It's nice to see Antetokounmpo played today. I'm sure he will become bright star in next years.

Russia played fantastic game today. Their coach prepared great tactic and his players respond perfectly on it. They are finely composed team with very experienced players and with outstanding Shved as their leader.
Turkey just won their match against Great Britain. I forgot to mention, they could be one of the favorites for highest placement. They were hosts of finale tournaments two times and both time they played in final match fighting for gold medal. History can be repeated.

Spain missing a lot of good players will be much their downfall in this FIBA. I also think that Serbia will take home the crown for this year. However, its really hard to predict, because maybe the new faces will really try to bring out their best. Its gonna be tough one, but if Serbia vs Spain in finals, I'm going for Serbia.

Yeah Spain don't have many good players at the moment, but don't forget that they still have plenty of them Cheesy

I also think that we will see Serbia vs Spain match,if not in final then at least semi-final... but i think Spain would win, they are stronger imo

Its hard predicting it mate to early to assume that Spain can get this but you are right with Serbia and Spain I think they both have good chemistry serbia seems to showcasing their talents and if they continue playing this way I can see good chances for them to win this league.

Great game today played Serbia and Latvia. Porzingis and brothers Bertans are super trio and could make problem to any other team in this group. Their biggest problem is bench (small roster). Serbia is going to have big problem with playmaker. Today coach Djordjevic played some time without playmaker in the team. Bogdanovic scored 30 points and seems to be that he will be their first offence option on this tournament.

Bogdan future MVP Eurobasket.

I am really happy to see my Serbia shines like that, even within so many injuries

Can't wait tomorrow's match against Russia! Cheesy

Yeah Bogdanovic really carry the team and even had a game high 30 points which spoils Porzingis first game in International tournaments. He can really play bigtime and most likely will be the number one option of the team if they needed. I think the Serbian team has also improved and perform perform better in close-game situations down the stretch.
So many hype of Porzingis first international exposure though and this lost will truly open his mind against international competition.

This was first day of championship and we have already had two great matches: Lithuania-Georgia and France-Finland. Both ended up with loses by favorites. This showed us how unprectictable and equivalent this championship will be.

Never bet on favourites when it comes into basketball, especially FIBA or other tournament. I always bet handicap on the underdogs, because there always some shit happened and unexpected. I also never bet handicap on the favourites team, i prefer bet on underdogs or over/under.

Yes, a lot of surprises especially in FIBA. I haven't bet though, but I will be putting money on Finland because they have a backing of the home crowd which is really help a lot of teams especially if they are the underdog.

Really nice game, it went to overtime, but my concern is that despite the strong performance of Evan Fournier, they still lost. Fournier often was caught forcing things too much. That was his downfall with the Magic last year. He would drive in too deep or drive sort of wildly into the paint without having many outlets to score. Fournier also struggled defensively. There was a series of plays in the third quarter where Finland went to forward Shawn Huff in the post. Huff abused Fournier on the block for several baskets in a row, helping keep Finland in the game when it looked like France was going to pull away.

It's amazing, the two great favorites France (the victory of Finland was quoted at@6 ) and Lithuania (the victory of Georgia was quoted [email protected] ) lost yesterday!
with so many missing players, this tournament will be very balanced and with so many surprises.

For me the 4 favorites for each group are:

Group A: Greece, France,Slovenia,Finland
Group B: Germany,Lituania, Italy,Georgia
Group C: Spain, Croatia, Czech Republic, Montenegro
Group D: Serbia, Turkey, Russia, Latvia.

I must agree, both teams such France and Lithuania definitely was upset about the outcome kudos to Georgia and Finland for bringing the pressure to a much favorite team. In reality of predicting who will win in Basketball is easier than the other sports BUT!, as we say the ball is round anything can happen even to our favorites. I hope that the losing teams especially France would bounce back be much more aggressive. As I watch the game they feel relaxed and They thought they will have an easy win.

Here is my favorite to win the championship.

1. Spain - Spain should have no problem winning the easiest group in the tournament, My only concern is that some of them are too old already. And they will be without key pieces from past success, Rudy Fernandez and Felipe Reyes.
2. Serbia - Again the lost of the key players will affect how well they perform in this tournament.
3. France - With Parker gone, it will be very hard for team France, However coach Collet is embracing the change. It seems to me that guard Evan Fournier, will lead France to reach at least the semi finals.

My long shot here is Greece, Turkey and Croatia.

I think you are completely right. Serbia and Spain are the favourites but they missing a lot of players. Croatia can surprise.

Spain will be on top of my mind. Barring significant injuries, Spain's squad will be too skilled on the outside and especially the inside for anyone to contend with it. I also like France, but it won't be easy. Gobert and Batum aren't participating this year, and Tony Parker has now retired from international play. Of course Serbia as well, Serbia will be without Jokic Teodosic and explosive shooting guard Nemanja Nedovic. However, a lethal outside-inside combination of Bogdanovic and Marjanovic should be enough to help the Serbs place well.

Kalinic is also injured and will not go with the team on Championship. He plays very important role too. I don't know if I have favorite right now but if I have to choose maybe it would be Spain instead of Serbia but only because Teodosics absence.
On the other side there are teams with great players and we should never forget about Lithuania, they are always there with great energy..

Well Spain is great for the past records of game match that they had from the last Euro league, but this time I don't think they can make it again due to lots of pressure specially more opponents was highly trained and more aggressive. If Serbia will be their probable final match opponent, then it's a big challenge for the team of Spain because the player also had a good standing and I am very confident with their game strategy to bet Spain's record for several matches of the games.
