[mavs>spurs2]

[The Franchise]

I pray we get to play Greece with our best talent. We owe them a foot in the back.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Where's the roster?

[stretch]

gay

[Indazone]

this thread is just begging for some vbookie ownage.

[AceProfits]

there is nothing more that I would like than to play team usa and show them what team ball is all about.

[mystargtr34]

To be fair no one seems to mention that team USA are the ones that have to adjust to slightly different rules and different court, expecially the key way.

Would it be fair if Greece tried to go up against USA with NBA rules.

Yes almost as funny as only beat USA by 6 in 2006. Also in this game bench play basic all 2nd half.

[hater]

greece > USA until proven otherwise

you are right my brother! 100% right!

That's gay. Team USA never complained about the rules until 2002.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

Greece blows. It's a homophone of what's left over after you cook meat.

Kobe and Kidd won't let USA lose this time around. Watch and learn, LeBronze.

[sendman]

Greece team is just a bunch of overgrown, hairy, over the hill bums and thugs. They don't know shit about basketball, but they are experts when it comes to shirt grabbing, cheap shot throwing, flopping and crying to the refs. Vujacic must have some Greek blood in him.
I hope they don't qualify for the Olympics.

[Indazone]

This is a USA site meaning the fans here are all for Team USA. Team USA by 40! If you thought the beatdown last year by the Rockets and the Spurs was bad wait till you run into Kobe, Lebron, Bosh, Howard, Wade and company.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Greece beat Brazil today 89-69.

Now 7-0 record!

Spanoulis lead whole tournament in assists!

He is a great point guard in Greece he just can't cut it in the NBA.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

He is a great point guard in Greece he just can't cut it in the NBA.

This craps and you know it. If he have normal coach he would be one of best point guard in NBA. He dominate Tony Parker before when they play against each other. You think he can't play in NBA you are dumb about basketball.

[The Franchise]

^ He still wasn't shit in the NBA.

[endrity]

Come on Rox fans, I am not a huge Kill Bill fan myself, but he is right on this one. JVG completely screwed around with Spannoulis. He is not the best player in Europe like KBP says, but he is damn good. You think he can't at least be a bench player somewhere in the NBA, the same NBA who has had guys like Eric Snow, Smush Parker, Brevin Knight ... as starting PGs????

[Kobayagi]

Rasho with 20 ppg (1st among centers and 5th overall), 9 rpg (2nd among centers and 5th overall) and 2.5 bpg (1st overall). :king

I'm just messin with him for all us stupid Rockets fans.:lol Spanoulis has the tools to be a decent point guard for an NBA team. Rocket fans get annoyed with him because instead of toughing it out for at least one more year,he ran home to momma pouting. I felt he could be pretty good under coach Adelman, but he let JVG run him out of town. Noone with such a lack of commitment should be praised to this degree.

[jason1301]

Spanoulis has high standards, he wants to play big minutes, he wants to be on the court on the end of the game, he wants to make the winning shot, he wants to be a star.

He was never going to be a star in the NBA, like Manu for example. So he went back home where the money is right, he plays more, and wins titles.

Tell me, would you give away all that just to play in the NBA?

[Biggems]

This team wishes they had the best Greek of all time..........and I dont mean Jimmy Snyder

Rony Seikaly

[samikeyp]

This craps and you know it. If he have normal coach he would be one of best point guard in NBA. He dominate Tony Parker before when they play against each other. You think he can't play in NBA you are dumb about basketball.

If that is the case, why go back to Europe? The NBA is the best league in the world, if he can truly be successful in the NBA then he would have the όρχεις to stay in the NBA.

Its about putting your skills against the best there is which is still the NBA. If Spanoulis was as good as Bill says he is, then he could earn what he seeks in the NBA.

[mystargtr34]

Tiago Splitter with 20 points 7 boards and 2 blocks against the Greeks :downspin:

Soon to be replaced by Kosta Koufos, who isn´t even playing for the Greek squad yet due to summer league.

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Rony Seikaly

He not play for us.

And best Greek ever was Galis. Get facts correct please.

[mavs>spurs2]

I could beat Spanoulis 1 on 1.

[endrity]

I could beat Spanoulis 1 on 1.

Considering he was the best player when Greece beat the US in the 2006 World Championship, I am going to go out on a limb and say.... you can't!!!

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Greece now = 8-0 record

We wins New Zealand 75-48

[mystargtr34]

Kill Bill how do you rate Croatia as a team.

Not much star power, but they seem to have quality right through the squad, and no Kusan either.

Do you think they can beat the Germans? And how do you rate their chances for a medal at the games.

Im pretty confident they can beat Germany, but even if we lose i like our chances of beating Puerto Rico again.

[endrity]

Germany and Greece are on another level compared to the other teams playing in Athens right now.

Croatia is very strong team for sure. They should be able to qualify for Olympics. I am not sure if they can beat Germany now with Kaman and Dirk, but I believe even if they lose to Germany they should be able to win Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico is very dangerous team but inconsistent.

I DaDakota a major Rocket's fan endorse this.

JVG screwed over V-Span big time...

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

I not think Germany is in different level from team like Croatia and not close to Greece. Croatia in players 3-12 is better than German team by much. Germany is just decent to good team for Eurobasket level with Kaman and Dirk but not in the level of better teams of Eurobasket.

Kaman and Dirk is alone not enough to beat these good European teams even very hard against team like Croatia. Maybe in FIBA Americas team with 2 NBA stars can be top team but not true in Eurobasket level. Americans is just always underrate how high European level is.

[sribb43]

Looks like it will be Barea vs Dirk for a trip to Athens. Barea better hope he already signed his contract because if Puerto Rico beats Germany, Dirk will tell Cuban not to give Barea his $

[Kill_Bill_Pana]

Greece 9-0 beats Puerto Rico 88-63

[Kobayagi]

Barea better hope he already signed his contract

He did.
